There are thousands of wheather satellites orbiting the Earth at each moment of time, constantly transmitting APT signals. The problem of efficient processing and understanding this data is of ultimate importance. Current software provides possibility for decoding APT signals received by RTL-SDR receivers, but the task of understanding the extracted data is hard, because an open-source programs for proper visualization of these images do not yet exist. This project aims to create an open-source software to target that issue, so more developers and enthusiasts will receive an efficient tool to help them in their research. The software would provide functionality for creating different types of interactive visualizations of satellite weather images, along with their georeferencing.
