glad-stream-decoder
Transform stream that decodes GLAD forest alerts
Global Forest Watch publishes weekly deforestation alerts as PNG map tiles. The data of the alert, the confidence level and intensity is encoded to the tile. This module decodes that information and creates an image tile with the alerts colored with the alpha transparency representing their intensity.
The transform stream expects raw image data, as you would get from reading the image data from the canvas. To decode a PNG to raw image data, and to re-encode the output to PNG, use png-stream

// http://wri-tiles.s3.amazonaws.com/glad_prod/tiles/{z}/{x}/{y}.png
var rs = fs.createReadStream('encoded.png'))
var ws = fs.createWriteStream('decoded.png'))
rs
