Show HN: Sarpro – Get Sentinel‑1 GRD from NASA into → GeoTIFF/JPEG Fast (Rust)

9 months ago

SARPRO is a fast Rust toolset for turning Sentinel‑1 GRD products into GeoTIFFs and high‑quality synthetic‑RGB JPEGs, with CLI, GUI, and a typed Rust API. The latest release focuses on cloud‑friendly remote I/O with proper authentication and robust batching.

What’s new in 0.3.2:

Authenticated CDSE/ASF downloads (CLI) to fetch GRD .SAFE.zip over OAuth2 (CDSE) or Earthdata cookies/netrc (ASF) and process directly.

Stream or materialize: Reads via GDAL VSICURL/VSIZIP for streaming, or materialize into a cache with progress bars and ASF resume support.

Non‑auth remote SAFE: Process unpacked SAFE over HTTP(S) behind a Range‑capable server (e.g., nginx, Python RangeHTTPServer)

Quality & speed: Auto‑CRS (--target-crs auto), CLAHE autoscale, synRGB modes; 400–500MP → 2048px typically completes in ~1–2s on a modern laptop; native full‑res warps remain tens of seconds.
