NOAA APT Decoder

Decode analog, APT signals from the NOAA weather satellites.

Requirements

  • python 2 -- not tested in Python 3

  • pip -- open a terminal console and type pip . -- If you get an error, install pip:

    sudo easy_install pip

Setup

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Downsampling

If your file is not at the correct sampling rate, resample it:

python resample.py soundfile.wav

You will obtain a file called resampled.wav that you can use for decoding instead of the original soundfile.wav

Decoding

python apt.py soundfile.wav image_out.png

Examples

Example image

Alternatives

You can also try wxtoimg but looks dead.

Alternatively atp-dec/apt-dec works really good. Keep in mind that the 1.7 release looks newer than the repo's master branch.
