Use gippy for raster image processing #70

Open mbertrand opened 8 years ago

mbertrand commented 8 years ago

Instead of using GDAL directly, look into using gippy to process raster data because it can better handle memory management for processing large images and chaining of image processing tasks.

@mbertrand I liked the idea but does gippy support parallel processing?

mbertrand commented 8 years ago

Python's multiprocessing module, or asynchronous celery tasks, could be used to run gaia/gippy methods in parallel.

thanks @mbertrand. Lets discuss some more on this. Currently we are favoring geotrellis (https://github.com/geotrellis/geotrellis) which seems to working good so far.
