When channel exported in geotiff format, it can be used in GIS systems for further processing. i.e. overlay map, convert into google maps layer &etc.

Hello, Yes, that would be interesting.

The problem is that it needs quite a lot of work, because my decoder does not have information about the position of the satellite. That information is used for example to provide a map overlay, similar to what WXtoIMG does.

So the work that someone needs to do is:

  • Find library or determine the position of the satellite from timestamp and TLE data
  • Determine what part of the world the satellite was imaging (no idea how to do that)
  • Optionally draw a map overlay
  • Create a GeoTIFF file

Luckily, this project has done most of the work. So if you are in a hurry you can look there first. To implement that on my decoder I should port that code to Rust. I don't have time to do it now but this is something I have been thinking to do lately

Ah! Thank you for the link! No rush. I guess it might be implemented as a standalone application.
