After covering how to read and write various vector data formats in Python, we'll now do the same for raster data. We'll start with the Rasterio library and have a look at how we can read and write raster data. Open up a new Jupyter Notebook where you have access to the Rasterio library and type the following code:
In: import rasterio dataset = rasterio.open(r"C:\data\gdal\NE\50m_raster\NE1_50M_SR_W \NE1_50M_SR_W.tif")
This imports the rasterio library and opens a GeoTIFF file. We can now perform some simple data description commands, such as printing the number of image bands.
