odc-geo

The odc-geo library provides powerful tools for geospatial data manipulation, including working with coordinate reference systems, grid definitions, and spatial transformations.

The library integrates closely with the Python geospatial ecosystem (including Shapely and pyproj), providing projection-aware geometry classes that simplify complex geospatial operations. Geo-registered raster analysis is supported through the addition of an .odc. extension to all data loaded via the Open Data Cube or rioxarray - exposing important geospatial metadata and a variety of useful and performant geospatial analysis tools.

Key features

  • Coordinate system handling: Seamlessly manage coordinate reference systems (CRS) and perform precise transformations
  • Vector and raster reprojection: Efficiently reproject data between CRSs using high-performance reprojection utilities powered by Dask
  • Geospatial metadata handling: Inspect and manipulate geo-registered raster metadata using a standardised GeoBox pixel grid model
  • Spatial analysis: Tools for rasterising, masking, clipping and exploring vector and raster data on an interactive map
