QGIS interface to python-fmask

We want to make Python FMask available in QGIS.

Making the QGIS interface is easy. But FMask has to be built for the particular system.

The plan is to take the ready-built versions of python-fmask and rios from conda-forge and just dump them somewhere in QGIS's PYTHONPATH.

Too bad QGIS is not using conda.

You need make python-fmask and its dependencyrios available to your QGIS Python.

You can download the packages that suit your system from the conda-forge channel builds for python-fmask and rios.

For your convenience, this repo includes the builds for

• Windows 64 with Python 2.7 and Numpy 1.12 (python-fmask-0.4.4-np112py27_0 and rios-1.4.3-py27_1)

So an easy way to install for users with this configuration is to pick the right bundle from the dependencies folder and unpack it to your QGIS Python site=packages directory, e.g. C:\OSGeo4W64\apps\Python27\Lib\site-packages.

All others, just do the same the files from conda-forge. You need only the contents of the Lib/site-packages folder.

On Windows with OSGeo4W, start a OSGeo4W Shell and type first py3_env and then python3 -m pip install https://github.com/DHI-GRAS/qgis-python-fmask/archive/master.zip.

All others use the same pip command and make sure that you are in the environment that QGIS Python uses.

Place this repo somewhere in your ~/.qgis2/processing/scripts folder.
