water fraction from Landsat and Sentinel-2 imagery

---

waffls is a collection of algorithms for estimating sub-pixel surface water fraction using medium resolution satellite data. Reader classes for Landsat data (Collection-1 and Pre-Collection), Sentinel-2 (10m or 20m resolution SAFE format) and Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS; 10m S10 or 30m S30/L30) data are included.

Installation

waffls is built on top of gdal and a number of python libraries. The rasterio and pyhdf libraries must be installed first, and can be accessed through conda. See here for instructions on installing conda. To install waffls in a separate python-3 conda environment, run the following:

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda create -n waffls gdal rasterio joblib cython
conda activate waffls
git clone https://github.com/bendv/waffls
cd waffls
python setup.py install
