Description

rio-tiler was initialy designed to create slippy map tiles from large raster data sources and render these tiles dynamically on a web map. With rio-tiler v2.0 we added many more helper methods to read data and metadata from any raster source supported by Rasterio/GDAL. This includes local files and via HTTP, AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, etc.

At the low level, rio-tiler is just a wrapper around the rasterio.vrt.WarpedVRT class, which can be useful for doing reprojection and/or property overriding (e.g nodata value).

Features

  • Read any dataset supported by GDAL/Rasterio

    from rio_tiler.io import COGReader
    
    with COGReader("my.tif") as image:
        print(image.dataset)  # rasterio opened dataset
        img = image.read()    # similar to rasterio.open("my.tif").read() but returns a rio_tiler.models.ImageData object
    
  • User friendly tile, part, feature, point reading methods

    from rio_tiler.io import COGReader
    
    with COGReader("my.tif") as image:
        img = image.tile(x, y, z)            # read mercator tile z-x-y
        img = image.part(bbox)               # read the data intersecting a bounding box
        img = image.feature(geojson_feature) # read the data intersecting a geojson feature
        img = image.point(lon,lat)           # get pixel values for a lon/lat coordinates
    
  • Enable property assignement (e.g nodata) on data reading

    from rio_tiler.io import COGReader
    
    with COGReader("my.tif") as image:
        img = image.tile(x, y, z, nodata=-9999) # read mercator tile z-x-y
    
  • STAC support

    from rio_tiler.io import STACReader
    
    with STACReader("item.json") as stac:
        print(stac.assets)  # available asset
        img = stac.tile(x, y, z, assets="asset1", indexes=(1, 2, 3))  # read tile for asset1 and indexes 1,2,3
        img = stac.tile(x, y, z, assets=("asset1", "asset2", "asset3",), indexes=(1,))  # create an image from assets 1,2,3 using their first band
    
  • Mosaic (merging or stacking)

    from rio_tiler.io import COGReader
    from rio_tiler.mosaic import mosaic_reader
    
    def reader(file, x, y, z, **kwargs):
        with COGReader(file) as image:
            return image.tile(x, y, z, **kwargs)
    
    img, assets = mosaic_reader(["image1.tif", "image2.tif"], reader, x, y, z)
    
  • Native support for multiple TileMatrixSet via morecantile

    import morecantile
    from rio_tiler.io import COGReader
    
    # Use EPSG:4326 (WGS84) grid
    wgs84_grid = morecantile.tms.get("WorldCRS84Quad")
    with COGReader("my.tif", tms=wgs84_grid) as cog:
        img = cog.tile(1, 1, 1)
    

Install

You can install rio-tiler using pip

$ pip install -U pip
$ pip install -U rio-tiler

or install from source:

$ git clone https://github.com/cogeotiff/rio-tiler.git
$ cd rio-tiler
$ pip install -U pip
$ pip install -e .

GDAL>=3.0 / PROJ>=6.0 performances issue

rio-tiler is often used for dynamic tiling, where we need to perform small tasks involving cropping and reprojecting the input data. Starting with GDAL>=3.0 the project shifted to PROJ>=6, which introduced new ways to store projection metadata (using a SQLite database and/or cloud stored grids). This change introduced a performance regression as mentioned in https://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/id/development/rfc/ms-rfc-126.html:

using naively the equivalent calls proj_create_crs_to_crs() + proj_trans() would be a major performance killer, since proj_create_crs_to_crs() can take a time in the order of 100 milliseconds in the most complex situations.

We believe the issue reported in issues/346 is in fact due to :point_up:.

To get the best performances out of rio-tiler we recommend for now to use GDAL 2.4 until a solution can be found in GDAL or in PROJ.

Note: Starting with rasterio 1.2.0, rasterio's wheels are distributed with GDAL 3.2 and thus we recommend using rasterio==1.1.8 if using the default wheels, which include GDAL 2.4.

Plugins

rio-tiler-pds

rio-tiler v1 included several helpers for reading popular public datasets (e.g. Sentinel 2, Sentinel 1, Landsat 8, CBERS) from cloud providers. This functionality is now in a separate plugin, enabling easier access to more public datasets.

rio-tiler-mvt

Implementations

rio-viz: Visualize Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs locally in the browser

titiler: A lightweight Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF dynamic tile server.

cogeo-mosaic: Create mosaics of Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF based on the mosaicJSON specification.
