About:
Rasterio is a Python library designed for reading and writing geospatial raster data formats, primarily leveraging GDAL. It provides a user-friendly, Numpy-friendly API for accessing raster bands and metadata, enabling efficient geospatial data processing workflows.
Key Features:
  • Numpy array interface for raster data
  • Support for GDAL raster formats
  • Geospatial metadata handling (CRS, transforms)
  • Command-line utilities for data processing
Use Cases:
  • Satellite imagery analysis
  • Digital elevation model (DEM) processing
  • GIS data format conversion
Alternatives:
  • GDAL – GDAL is the underlying C++ library; Rasterio provides a more Pythonic interface.
  • Python GIS Stack (Fiona/Shapely) – Fiona handles vector data; Rasterio is specifically optimized for raster operations.
