Incorporate Land Cover type in analysis

[egrace479]

Utilize ArcGIS to take in lat/lon for each image and return percentages of each type of cover within a half-mile box centered at the lat/lon of the image.

We can use the NJ land cover layer, added on this map and accessed through the ArcGIS Python API. Map has citations for layer, as does mapping.py which fetches and processes the data.

Dan is going to bin categories available so we have a manageable and logical set of regions for our educational purposes.

Next steps:

• [x] Wrapper function calling mapping.py to return proper format for incorporation into QUEST dataset for Andromeda.
  • [x] Functions to fetch relevant data and calculate percentages.
  • [x] satellitedata.py function --sends gis or username & password?
• [x] Incorporation of binned categories.
• [x] UI interface:
  • [ ] Toggle/dropdown option (not required step).
  • [ ] Note: may be time consuming (>1min depending on internet connection)?
  • [ ] Sign in for ArcGIS (will require users to have account).
  • [x] Fetch data call at appropriate time in process (ensure lat/lon in request).
  • [x] Checkbox to fetch.

Now we're precomputing tiles covering the satellite RGB areas.

PR #53 added final tiling data.
