Virtual satellite

Matt Painter edited this page Nov 8, 2020 · 6 revisions

When a timestamp or time interval is specified (-t / --timestamp, and -I / --interval, respectively) along with a target longitude (-l / --longitude), Sanchez will perform a multiple satellite stitch and reproject the image back to a geostationary image, simulating a satellite at a given longitude.

This allows for virtual satellite images to be created, comprised of more than one source image.

See Options: timelapse for more details on on timelapse arguments.

Longitude sweep

If an end longitude is provided (-E / --endlongitude) along with a timelapse argument, Sanchez will sweep the longitude across the time intervals. By default, the longitude sweep is anticlockwise, however this may be inverted with --inverse.

Example

sanchez -s input -o output\geostationary\timelapse -l 174.8860 -E 131 -I 60 -h 0.0 -b 1.1
