Cropping aerial image using Python?

Question

How can I crop an area from an aerial image knowing the latitude and longitude of the image's corners and also the cropped section?

I have a LiDAR scan and I and want to crop an image overlay to fit over the scanned area.

Are you using the arcpy or any other spatial python library? — evv_gis, Jul 10 '14 at 19:41
@evv_gis no i am not, could you recommend one for my situation. — kyle k, Jul 10 '14 at 19:56
dklassen below is recommending a very easy to use spatial library in GDAL. I would go that direction. — evv_gis, Jul 11 '14 at 12:51

You should try using the GDAL library (Python) to clip your raster. GDAL_translate should work for your needs. Link below to a similar question.
