PROBA-V Align & False color

This script takes the V1, V2 and V3 channels from PROBA-V's vegetation instrument, overlays them and creates false color images. It also takes V4, V5 and V6 and combines them to a full-swath image.

Requirements

For this script to work, you need Python 3 installed and added to PATH. After you installed Python on your machine, you need to install Image, Imageops, ImageChops, colorama and tqdm by running pip install Pillow tqdm colorama.

Feautures

1. Automatically align channels V1/V2/V3
2. Create multiple, different false color composites
3. Automatically align channels V4/V5/V6 to a full swath image
4. Denoise the created full swath image

Usage

Simply put images named "Vegetation_1.png", "Vegetation_2.png", etc. into the same directory as the script and change setting in the the script. Then you just have to run the script. That's it. All results will be saved in the same directory.

Settings

The user select between different options on the beginning of the script. Those include:

1. aligned when set to False, the script will autoalign channels V1-V3. If set true, alignment will be skipped.
2. denoise when set to True, the script will denoise the 456 full swath image. If False, denoising will be skipped.
3. gain controls the brightness of the 456 full swath image. The higher, the brighter the resulting image
4. compo_gain controls the brightness of the 123 composite images. The higher, the brighter the resulting image

Limits

Currently, the aligning is just a quick image modification (move, stretch, mirror) and might not align images properly. If thats the case, please align manually and set aligned = True to still get your false color composites.

Composites

Currently, this script supports 5 different composition:

1. General_Green
2. Cold_Color
3. Water
4. Desert_red
5. Desert_blue
