Feature Request: Geo-Registration Feature Flag

Summary:
Our team has developed an in-house geo-registration container, and we would like the ability to deactivate the GDAL-based or OSML based geo-registration in osml-model-runner. To achieve this, we propose adding a feature flag that allows users to enable or disable geo-registration as needed.

Details:

• Feature Name: Geo-Registration Feature Flag
• Description: Introduce a feature flag in osml-model-runner that provides the ability to enable or disable the built-in GDAL-based geo-registration functionality or OSML enabled.
• Use Case: This feature is beneficial for teams that have their own custom geo-registration solutions and prefer not to use the GDAL-based geo-registration provided by osml-model-runner.
• Implementation:
  • Add a configuration option (e.g., geo_registration_enabled) to the osml-model-runner settings.
  • When the feature flag is set to false, the osml-model-runner should skip the GDAL-based geo-registration process.
  • Ensure that this configuration option can be easily set through environment variables or a configuration file.
  • Provide documentation on how to enable or disable the geo-registration feature.

Benefits:

• Allows for greater flexibility and customization for users with their own geo-registration solutions.
• Reduces potential conflicts and redundancies when using custom geo-registration containers.

Example Configuration:

# osml-model-runner configuration file
geo_registration_enabled: false

Or, set through an environment variable:

export GEO_REGISTRATION_ENABLED=false

---

This revised version provides a clear summary, detailed description, and example configurations, making it easier for developers to understand the request and implement the feature.
