Title: Extracting Radiometric Feature Location from GeoTIFF
Post by: vinhoo on January 19, 2017, 08:09:10 PM
Say I have a geotiff (georeferenced) image file. And say this file was created by a thermal camera; so it is a thermal geotiff file. This thermal geotiff holds radiometric meta data (each pixel has a temperature value associated to it).

What I want to do is extract the GPS location of the high temperature area(s) [hot spots] within this thermal geotiff image. To clarify, obviously the image itself has a GPS coordinate in its meta data, but I want the GPS coordinate of a feature(s) within the image itself.

How can I extract the feature [temperature] location of the hotspots?
(Eg. If reading the radiometric meta data, then - return the GPS coordinates of each spot over 100 degC)
Or, these thermal geotiffs are also color coded (hot = red); so perhaps we could extract the GPS coordinates of each red spot.

Open to all comments/suggestions.
Thanks for reading.

Hi Vince,

ExifTool doesn't do any image processing.  You need something that will analyze the image to extract the image to do this.
