async-geotiff

Async GeoTIFF and Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) reader for Python, wrapping async-tiff.

Project Goals:

  • Support only for GeoTIFF and Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) formats
  • Support for reading only, no writing support
  • Full type hinting.
  • API similar to rasterio where possible.
    • We won't support the full rasterio API, but we'll try to when it's possible to implement rasterio APIs with straightforward maintenance requirements.
    • For methods where we do intentionally try to match with rasterio, the tests should match against rasterio.
  • Initially, we'll try to support a core set of GeoTIFF formats. Obscure GeoTIFF files may not be supported.
