2.2.0 -- Image combination performance
This release contains some modest improvements in image combination performance. For the best performance, install the bottleneck
. With bottleneck installed, median_combine
is 2x faster.
Changes in this version:
- Image combination is faster for average and sum combine, and improves for all operations if the bottleneck package is installed.
- Pixel-wise weighting can be done for sum and average combine.
- When filtering an ImageFileCollection by keyword value, and not explicitly using a regex search pattern (
regex_match=True
), escape all special characters in the keyword value for a successful search. - Return mask and uncertainty from combine even if input images have no mask or uncertainty.
