nitf-rs

A rust NITF file interface

Current project goals are - Finish implementing version 2.1 reading (maybe writing) - Verify header/subheader field entries (see NitfField - Implement logic for various header/subheader inputs - For example, return data from an image segment as an array with the appropriate format (right now only Complex32 supported) - Expand with features for various applications of the standard (SICD as a first step)

This started as a personal project to learn the language better, and I work on it as I have time to.

Current Functionality

In my own testing, I have only been able to find files to verify parsing for: - Header - Image Segments - Data Extension Segments

To the best of my knowledge, these function as expected.

There is no logic built around the inputs yet

New from last version (that I remember)

• Removed NitfFieldVec and NitfSubheaderVec types
• Made NitfField generic for a parameter V
  • Can define types and impl FromStr to allow more complex parsing
  • Allows verification of fields upon read
  • Also helps with the idea of writing in the future
• Added minimal docstrings across all definitions

Next in line

• Might rework the top-level segment definitions
  • Feels like the functionality of everything is too deep
  • Shift the current subheader and Datasegment stuff a level down, provide more utility at the nitf.___ level
• Now that some basic enum/struct's are in place, can begin to define within interface functions
  • First goal is going to be to read different types of data from an image segment for P IMODE value
  • ... Then think about how to do other values for IMODE
