Raster Forge: Interactive Raster Manipulation Library and GUI for Python
Afonso Oliveira Nuno Fachada João P. Matos-Carvalho
Raster Forge is a Python library and graphical user interface for raster data
manipulation and analysis. The tool is focused on remote sensing applications,
particularly in wildfire management. It allows users to import, visualize, and
process raster layers for tasks such as image compositing or topographical
analysis. For wildfire management, it generates fuel maps using predefined
models. Its impact extends from disaster management to hydrological modeling,
agriculture, and environmental monitoring. Raster Forge can be a valuable asset
for geoscientists and researchers who rely on raster data analysis, enhancing
geospatial data processing and visualization across various disciplines.
