BAS

[ Buffer Around Sections]

Derive river width from a binary watermask and a set of sections

BAS is a simple Python-based toolbox designed to compute river widths from a space-borne watermask given a set of section (line geometries) set along the river.

Download

Main version available on github : https://github.com/CS-SI/BAS

Getting started

The toolbox works in a specific environment that can be installed through conda using the environment_bas.yml file

conda env create -f environment_bas.yml

Features

Using the BAS toolbox, you can perform two tasks :

• Given a watermask (as a GeoTiff file), a set on centerline reaches (as a shapefile of LineString) and a set of sections (as a shapefile of LineString), derive the river widths along the sections
• If the sections lines are not available, using the centerline reaches (as a shapefile of LineString) and a set of segmentation points (as a shapefile of Point), you can draw the sections yourself
