\section pktools_introduction Introduction

pktools is a suite of utilities written in C++ for image processing with a focus on remote sensing applications. It relies on the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL, http://www.gdal.org) and OGR.

All utilities in pktools use command line options and have a built in help

- use the `-h` option to get help
- pktools ALWAYS use -i for input and -o for output (unlike GDAL utilities that commonly use last argument as output and second but last argument as input)
