Disclaimer{this is not a complete application it has some place holders and hard coded elements}
All written in Python using GDAL open source
This application reads in an input folder containing jp2 downloaded from usgs
It converts the jp2 to tiff
it projects the tif into a latitude/longitude projection system
it extracts the corner coordinates NW/SE
it writes a TMC file
it writes the TFW
it writes the Bat in runs the command line geoconvert as subprocess
Current Bug: GDAL is moving the blue channel into the alpha channel for some reason making lakes and water transparent. I'm sure its a config problem, i should have it sorted by tomorrow or thereabouts
just had to specify 3 bands and it seems better
Still working on refining it and packaging into a tool but the guts are mostly there
I want to add a GUI
I want to add a usgs ftp downloader
I want to make the application run the bat file for us done
I want to clean up all extra data after each run so i dont fill up the harddrives done
I want to package it up into an exe if i can.. might require installing os4geo
Looking for any feedback.. if anyone wants to try it as it stands i can get you pointed at the software prequisites at this early stage
One Question
Is there a way to make the geoconvert window just close itself when it is done?
