MODIS Assimilation and Processing Engine

Project description

MODAPE
=====

The **M**\ ODIS **A**\ ssimilation and **P**\ rocessing **E**\ ngine combines a state-of-the art whittaker smoother, implemented as fast C-extension through Cython and including a V-curve optimization of the smoothing parameter, with a HDF5 based processing chain optimized for MODIS data.

The sub-module ``modape.whittaker`` includes the following variations of the whittaker smoother with 2nd order differences:

- **ws2d**: Whittaker with fixed smoothing parameter (``s``)
- **ws2doptv**: Whittaker with V-curve optimization of the smoothing parameter (``s``)
- **ws2doptvp**: Whittaker with V-curve optimization of the smoothing parameter (``s``) and expectile smoothing using asymmetric weights

The MODIS processing chain consists of the following executables, which can be called through commandline:

- ``modis_download``: Query and download raw MODIS products (requires Earthdata credentials)
- ``modis_collect``: Collect raw MODIS data into daily datacubes stored in an HDF5 file
- ``modis_smooth``: Smooth, gapfill and interpolate raw MODIS data using the implemented whittaker smoother
- ``modis_window``: Extract mosaic(s) of multiple MODIS tiles, or subset(s) of a global/tiled MODIS product and export it as GeoTIFF raster in WGS1984 coordinate system

Additional executables:

- ``csv_smooth``: Smooth timeseries stored within a CSV file
- ``rts_smooth``: Smooth a series of raster files stored in a local directory
- ``modis_info``: Retrieve metadata from created HDF5 files
- ``modis_product_table``: MODIS Version 6.0 product table


Installation
------------
**Dependencies:**

modape depends on these packages:

- numpy
- gdal
- h5py
- beautifulsoup4
- requests
- progress
- pandas

Some of these packages (eg. GDAL) can be difficult to build, especially on windows machines. In the latter case it's advisable to download an unofficial binary wheel from `Christoph Gohlke's Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages <https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/>`_ and install it locally with ``pip install`` before installing modape.

**Installation from github:**

.. code:: bash

$ git clone https://github.com/WFP-VAM/modape
$ cd modape
$ pip install .

**Installation from PyPi:**

.. code:: bash

$ pip install modape


Bugs, typos & feature requests
-----

If you find a bug, see a typo, have some kind of troubles running the module or just simply want to have a feature added, please `submit an issue! <https://github.com/WFP-VAM/modape/issues/new>`_


Usage tutorial
-----

All executables can be called with a ``-h`` flag for detailed usage.

For a more detailed tutorial on how to use the executables, please visit `WFP-VAM.github.io/modape <http://WFP-VAM.github.io/modape>`_.
