GeoTIFF RGB

This example demonstrates how to render an OGC GeoTIFF RGB image as a geolocated mesh.

📋 Summary

Creates a mesh from a GeoTIFF encoded RGB image.

The resulting mesh contains quad cells.

The GeoTIFF RGB image is first pre-processed using rasterio.features.sieve() to remove several unwanted masked regions within the interior of the image, which are due to a lack of dynamic range in the uint8 image data.

Note that, the RGB image pixel data is located on the mesh nodes/points.

The masked RGB pixels are then removed by extracting only mesh cells with no masked points.

Attention

Optional package dependency rasterio is required.
