Creates an annimated gif from GeoTiff images

Project description

Create annimated GIF from GeoTiff

QGIS

An introduction about using QGIS can be found here.

Installation

  • Linux

The script provided here was tested on Ubuntu 22.04:

bash sh.install

This shell script will install all python dependencies using poetry and also install qgis application on Ubuntu, which has a python library need to run the current code. PyQGIS is (normally) at /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/.

Read more about QGIS installation in quickstart.

  • Windows

You can download the msi installer in this page. I'm using the Latest Release but if you want a more stable version, use Long Term Release. After downloading, just proceed with the installation (next-next-install).

Add Google Maps

  • Open QGIS
  • On the left side, right click on XYZ Tiles, and select New connection
  • Fill in the fields with the appropriate information. It will be similar to the image below.

According to this tutorial, there are different links for the available Google Maps layers:

Layer Link
Roadmap http://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=m&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}
Terrain http://mt1.google.com/vt/lyrs=p&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}

Testing

The following line tests the standalone implementation (i.e., you don't need to open QGIS) that reads a set of three geotiff images using pyQGIS, saves them as png files and also output an annimated gif with all three. This set contains the original image, the ground truth and the prediction maps.

Calling it on Windows

& 'C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.36.3\apps\Python312\python.exe' qgis_annimated.py --base images/Greece_2_hsi.tif --gt images/Greece_2_gt.tif --prediction images/Greece_2_prediction.tif

All paths shown here refers to my computer. You must change them accordingly. This example uses the sample image in the images folder.

Check the program parameters issuing:

& 'C:\Program Files\QGIS 3.36.3\apps\Python312\python.exe' qgis_annimated.py  --help
DEBUG:root:adding to sys.path: C:/Program Files/QGIS 3.36.3
Usage: qgis_annimated.py [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --base TEXT        Path to the real geotiff image  [required]
  --gt TEXT          Path to the ground truth geotiff image  [required]
  --prediction TEXT  Path to the predictions geotiff image  [required]
  --output TEXT      Path to save the png and gif images
  --debug / --info   set logging level to debug or info (default)
  --help             Show this message and exit.

The resulting gif is shown here.

Calling PyQGIS on Ubuntu

The code was tested on Ubuntu 22.04 with the default Python 3.10.12 installed. After installing QGIS as described in Debian/Ubuntu Quickstart, you will see that python-qgis is also installed. You can check the version using the following command inside python3 prompt

>>> import qgis.utils
>>> qgis.utils.Qgis.QGIS_VERSION
'3.22.4-Bialowieza'

Create GIF

You can call the program using:

cd moviq_qgis
poetry shell
python3 -m moviq_qgis --base images/Greece_2_hsi.tif --gt images/Greece_2_gt.tif --prediction images/Greece_2_prediction.tif

It will read the 3 images provided in the arguments, convert them to PNG and save these images on results. Those 3 PNG images are them merged in an annimated GIF, which will be also saved on results.

Distribute

You can use poetry to create the distribution (wheel) package to install in another project, e.g., moviq-segmentation.

cd moviq_qgis
poetry build

After running the command above, it will create in the folder dist a package moviq_qgis-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl that you can install.
