NITF Visualizer (nitv
) is a program which will read a nitf
file and attempt to create a png
or gif
from the image data
For questions, feature requests, or bugs, please open an issue.
First, install from clone or directly using cargo
...
cargo install nitv
... then provide a NITF file
nitv <path-to-nitf>
There are a handful of options available
--output Output folder [default: .]
--prefix Output file name. Derived from input if not given
--size sqrt(num-pixels) e.g., --size 50 -> 50^2 pixel image [default: 256]
--brightness Adjust the brightness of the image product (32-bit signed integer) [default: 0]
--contrast Adjust the contrast of the image product (32-bit float) [default: 0]
--level Log level [default: info] [possible values: off, error, warn, info, debug, trace]
--nitf-log Enable logging for nitf reading
Current support (files from Umbra's Open Data)
The determination of whether to make a PNG or GIF is currently somewhat hacky
.
Because SICD files can have image data spread across multiple segments, that processing logic is unique, thus the first thing which is done is to determine if the file contains SICD metadata.
- If it is determined to be a SICD, all image data is piecewise extended density format (PEDF) remapped, ground projected, and rendered to a PNG.
- If it doesn't contain SICD metadata but has multiple image segments, the data from each segment is rendered as a frame in a GIF.
- If it doesn't contain SICD metadata and has a single image segment, it is rendered as a PNG.
As more features are added, this logic will become more sophisticated
