open ( './temp/Z.tif', 'w', driver = 'GTiff', height = Z. As a reminder the translation matrix takes the form: First, we start with translation where \(\Delta x\) and \(\Delta y\) define the location of the upper left hand corner of our new Z ndarray. The affine transformation matrix can be computed from the matrix product of a translation (moving N,S,E,W) and a scaling (resolution). Review affine transformations and see an example here. Affine transforms uses matrix algebra to describe where a cell is located (translation) and what its resolution is (scale). Although X and Y seems relevant to understanding the location of cell values, rasterio instead uses affine transformations instead. In this example the coordinate reference system will be ‘+proj=latlong’, which describes an equirectangular coordinate reference system with units of decimal degrees. Describing the Array Location (Define a Projection) # In the case of GIS, it is used to move raster data, a satellite image, to the correct location in the CRS coordinate space. It allows us to move, stretch, or even rotate a point or set of points. In order to ‘locate’ the array on the map we will use affine transformations.Īffine transformations allows us to use simple systems of linear equations to manipulate any point or set of points ( review affine transforms here). This location data will often be stored in the header of file. Its just an array, the information stored in x and y aren’t associated with it at all. Note that Z contains no data on its location.
