Index a directory of geotif files

I have a directory of many GeoTIFF files that are tiles of global map. Is there a python module that can index such a directory and then provide access to the data using coordinates in the respective CRS? Say I have a coordinate or polygon, I would like the module to return the file(s) that contain the coordinate/polygon.

Solution

  • I finally found a good solution. One can create a raster file from any directory of .tif using the SAGA library: https://saga-gis.sourceforge.io/saga_tool_doc/7.1.1/io_gdal_8.html

    Example: saga_cmd io_gdal 8 -DIRECTORY ./sierra_nevada_parts -CATALOGUE_CGS sierra_nevada_parts/raster
