Part of the Fatiando a Terra project
Verde is a Python library for processing spatial data (topography, point clouds, bathymetry, geophysics surveys, etc) and interpolating them on a 2D surface (i.e., gridding) with a hint of machine learning.
Our core interpolation methods are inspired by machine-learning. As such, Verde implements an interface that is similar to the popular scikit-learn library. We also provide other analysis methods that are often used in combination with gridding, like trend removal, blocked/windowed operations, cross-validation, and more!
- Provide a machine-learning inspired interface for gridding spatial data
- Integration with the Scipy stack: numpy, pandas, scikit-learn, and xarray
- Include common processing and data preparation tasks, like blocked means and 2D trends
- Support for gridding scalar and vector data (like wind speed or GPS velocities)
- Support for both Cartesian and geographic coordinates
Verde is stable and ready for use! This means that we are careful about introducing backwards incompatible changes and will provide ample warning when doing so. Upgrading minor versions of Verde should not require making changes to your code.
The first major release of Verde was focused on meeting most of these initial goals and establishing the look and feel of the library. Later releases will focus on expanding the range of gridders available, optimizing the code, and improving algorithms so that larger-than-memory datasets can also be supported.
