Satellite TimeLapse Generator

This python script will generate a timelapse from satellite images of clouds above Europe (generated every 15 minutes). It gets most recent images on a period (ex. : last 24 hours) and uses FFmpeg to generate the video.

Installation

This script requires Python 2.7, PiP and FFmpeg to be installed.

You'll need some additional libraries :

pip install pathlib
pip install ffmpy

Usage

Basic

python generator.py

The command will generate a timelapse of the last 24 hours.

Options

-c, --color

Create timelapse with Infra Red colored images

-d, --days

Period of the timelapse. Default to 1 day.

-f, --framerate

Number of images per seconds in the timelapse. /!\ High framerate on short period will generate very short timelapse /!\. Default to 6 FPS.

-h, --help

Show help.

Example

To generate a colored timelapse of the last week at 24 frames per seconds :

python generator.py -c -d 7 -f 24

Notes

This script caches images into .img directory.

It is recommended to have enough disk space to generate on a long period.

At least 60 MB / day
