+Aptdec is a FOSS program that decodes images transmitted by NOAA
+weather satellites. These satellites transmit constantly medium
+resolution (4km/px) images of the earth over a analog mode called APT.
+These transmissions can easily be received with a cheap SDR and
+simple antenna. Then the transmission can be decoded in narrow FM mode.
+The input audio format can be anything supported by libsndfile
+(although only tested with WAV and FLAC). Sample rate doesn't matter,
+although lower samples rates will process faster.
