| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| remote-sensing-toolkit | Python utilities for satellite and geospatial data: raster and vector GIS helpers, NASA HLS L30/S30 and MODIS vegetation index readers, and tutorial notebooks from raw downloads to analysis-ready data. |
| dji-m3m-elm-calibration | Empirical Line Method calibration for DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral: converts DN orthomosaics to surface reflectance with four reference tarps and validates the result per band. |
