Software and compatibility
Open with: Spreadsheet application; Python 3.10+ for local example.
LibreOffice native example and adverse-input tests passed on disposable copies. Microsoft Excel desktop and supplied HTML browser rendering remain unverified.
Run the worked example in your target spreadsheet application before operational use. No macros, external workbook links or paid service calls.
HTML guide works offline in a browser. Local examples require Python 3.10 or later, standard library only; no credentials, network or paid backend.
Scope and limits
- Supports aligned CSV red/NIR samples only; no GeoTIFF reader, GIS reprojection, automatic cloud mask, live imagery or real-world classifier is included.
- Negative real reflectance and sensor-specific processing require a reviewed preparation method before use; the supplied bounded synthetic workflow accepts 0–1 reflectance.
- No geographic coordinates or real scene rights are implied.
