Create Basin Binary Mask

This repository contains small collection of scripts that can be used to:

1. Compute the binary mask of a basin from its boundaries provided as an esri shapefile.
2. Extract the boundaries of a basin from its raster binary mask.

Installation:

1. Setup minimal conda installation using Miniconda

2. Create Python Virtual Environment

   • Creating an environment with commands (Link);
   • Creating an environment from an environment.yml file (Link);

Examples:

1. Conversion from shapefile boundaries to raster binary mask:

   python convert_shp_to_raster.py './data/input/Indus.dir/Indus.shp'  --res=0.5
   

2. Conversion from raster binary mask to shapefile boundaries:

   python convert_raster_to_shp.py './data/output/shapefile_to_raster/Indus/Indus.tiff'
