Bands¶

`Band`	A data band in images of a specific product.
`SpectralBand`	A band that lies somewhere on the visible/NIR/SWIR electro-optical wavelength spectrum.
`MicrowaveBand`	A band that lies in the microwave spectrum, often from SAR or passive radar sensors.
`MaskBand`	A binary band where by convention a 0 means masked and 1 means non-masked.
`ClassBand`	A band that maps a finite set of values that may not be continuous.
`GenericBand`	A generic kind of band not fitting any other type.
`DerivedBand`	A band with pixel values computed from the data in other bands.

class Band(**kwargs)[source]¶

A data band in images of a specific product.

This is an abstract class that cannot be instantiated, but can be used for searching across all types of bands. The concrete bands are represented by the derived classes.

Common attributes: id, name, product_id, description, type, sort_order, data_type, nodata, data_range, display_range, resolution, band_index, file_index, jpx_layer_index.

To create a new band instantiate one of those specialized classes:

SpectralBand: A band that lies somewhere on the visible/NIR/SWIR electro-optical wavelength spectrum. Specific attributes: wavelength_nm_center, wavelength_nm_min, wavelength_nm_max, wavelength_nm_fwhm.
MicrowaveBand: A band that lies in the microwave spectrum, often from SAR or passive radar sensors. Specific attributes: frequency, bandwidth.
MaskBand: A binary band where by convention a 0 means masked and 1 means non-masked. The data_range and display_range for masks is implicitly [0, 1]. Specific attributes:is_alpha.
ClassBand: A band that maps a finite set of values that may not be continuous to classification categories (e.g. a land use classification). A visualization with straight pixel values is typically not useful, so commonly a colormap is used. Specific attributes: colormap, colormap_name, class_labels.
GenericBand: A generic type for bands that are not represented by the other band types, e.g., mapping physical values like temperature or angles. Specific attributes: colormap, colormap_name, physical_range, physical_range_unit.

If this instance was retrieved using get(), get_or_create() or any other way (for example as part of a search()), and any of its values were changed, it will be in the MODIFIED state and the existing catalog object will be updated.

If this instance was retrieved using get(), get_or_create() or any other way (for example as part of a search()), and none of its values were changed, it will be in the SAVED state, and if no extra_attributes parameter is given, nothing will happen.

Parameters

extra_attributes (dict, optional) – A dictionary of attributes that should be sent to the catalog along with attributes already set on this object. Empty by default. If not empty, and the object is in the SAVED state, it is updated in the Descartes Labs catalog even though no attributes were modified.

client (CatalogClient, optional) – A CatalogClient instance to use for requests to the Descartes Labs catalog. The get_default_client() will be used if not set.

Returns

The object you requested, or None if an object with the given id does not exist in the Descartes Labs catalog.

Return type

CatalogObject or None

Raises

ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

classmethod get_many(ids, ignore_missing=False, client=None)¶

Get existing objects from the Descartes Labs catalog.

All returned Descartes Labs catalog objects will be in the SAVED state. Also see get().

For bands, if you request a specific band type, for example SpectralBand.get_many(), you will only receive that type. Use Band.get_many() to receive any type.

Parameters

ids (list(str)) – A list of identifiers for the objects you are requesting.
ignore_missing (bool, optional) – Whether to raise a NotFoundError exception if any of the requested objects are not found in the Descartes Labs catalog. False by default which raises the exception.

Returns

The requested catalog object that was retrieved or created.

Return type

CatalogObject

classmethod make_valid_name(name)¶

Replace invalid characters in the given name and return a valid name.

Replace any sequence of invalid characters in a string with a single _ character to create a valid name for Band or Image. Since the Band and Image names have a limited character set, this method will replace any sequence of characters outside that character set with a single _ character. The returned string is a safe name to use for a Band or Image. The given string is unchanged.

Note that it is possible that two unique invalid names may turn into duplicate valid names if the uniqueness is located in the same sequence of invalid characters.

Parameters: name (str) – A name for a Band or Image that may contain invalid characters.
Returns: A name for a Band or Image that does not contain any invalid characters.
Return type: str

Example

>>> from descarteslabs.catalog import SpectralBand, Band
>>> name = "This is ań @#$^*% ïñvalid name!!!!"
>>> band = SpectralBand()
>>> band.name = Band.make_valid_name(name)
>>> band.name
'This_is_a_valid_name_'

reload()¶

Reload all attributes from the Descartes Labs catalog.

Refresh the state of this catalog object from the object in the Descartes Labs catalog. This may be necessary if there are concurrent updates and the object in the Descartes Labs catalog was updated from another client. The instance state must be in the SAVED state.

If you want to revert a modified object to its original one, you should use get() on the object class with the object’s id.

Raises

ValueError – If the catalog object is not in the SAVED state.
DeletedObjectError – If this catalog object was deleted.
ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

>>> p = Product(id="my_org_id:my_product_id")
>>> # Some time elapses and a concurrent change was made
>>> p.state 
<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>
>>> p.reload() 
>>> # But once you make changes, you cannot use this method any more
>>> p.name = "My name has changed"
>>> p.reload() 
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: Product instance with id my_org_id:my_product_id has not been saved
>>> # But you can revert
>>> p = Product.get(p.id) 
>>> p.state 
<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>

save(extra_attributes=None)¶

Saves this object to the Descartes Labs catalog.

If this instance was created using the constructor, it will be in the UNSAVED state and is considered a new Descartes Labs catalog object that must be created. If the catalog object already exists in this case, this method will raise a BadRequestError.

If this instance was retrieved using get(), get_or_create() or any other way (for example as part of a search()), and any of its values were changed, it will be in the MODIFIED state and the existing catalog object will be updated.

If this instance was retrieved using get(), get_or_create() or any other way (for example as part of a search()), and none of its values were changed, it will be in the SAVED state, and if no extra_attributes parameter is given, nothing will happen.

Parameters

extra_attributes (dict, optional) – A dictionary of attributes that should be sent to the catalog along with attributes already set on this object. Empty by default. If not empty, and the object is in the SAVED state, it is updated in the Descartes Labs catalog even though no attributes were modified.

Raises

ConflictError – If you’re trying to create a new object and the object with given id already exists in the Descartes Labs catalog.
BadRequestError – If any of the attribute values are invalid.
DeletedObjectError – If this catalog object was deleted.
ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

Example

>>> from descarteslabs.catalog import Product
>>> new_product = Product(
...     id="my-product",
...     name="My Product",
...     description="This is a test product"
... )
>>> new_product.state
<DocumentState.UNSAVED: 'unsaved'>
>>> new_product.save() 
>>> # ids will be automatically prefixed by the Descartes Labs catalog
>>> # with your organization id
>>> new_product.id 
my_org_id:my-product
>>> # Now you can retrieve the product and update it
>>> existing_product = Product.get(new_product.id) 
>>> existing_product.state 
<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>
>>> existing_product.name = "My Updated Product" 
>>> existing_product.state 
<DocumentState.MODIFIED: 'modified'>
>>> existing_product.save() 
>>> existing_product.state 
<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>
>>> # After you delete it...
>>> existing_product.delete() 
True
>>> product.state 
<DocumentState.DELETED: 'deleted'>

The returned string is a safe name to use for a Band or Image. The given string is unchanged.

Note that it is possible that two unique invalid names may turn into duplicate valid names if the uniqueness is located in the same sequence of invalid characters.

Parameters: name (str) – A name for a Band or Image that may contain invalid characters.
Returns: A name for a Band or Image that does not contain any invalid characters.
Return type: str

Example

>>> from descarteslabs.catalog import SpectralBand, Band

Reload all attributes from the Descartes Labs catalog.

Refresh the state of this catalog object from the object in the Descartes Labs catalog. This may be necessary if there are concurrent updates and the object in the Descartes Labs catalog was updated from another client. The instance state must be in the SAVED state.

If you want to revert a modified object to its original one, you should use get() on the object class with the object’s id.

Raises

ValueError – If the catalog object is not in the SAVED state.
DeletedObjectError – If this catalog object was deleted.
ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>
>>> p.reload() 
>>> # But once you make changes, you cannot use this method any more
>>> p.name = "My name has changed"
>>> p.reload() 
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: Product instance with id my_org_id:my_product_id has not been saved
>>> # But you can revert
>>> p = Product.get(p.id) 
>>> p.state 
<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>

save(extra_attributes=None)¶

Saves this object to the Descartes Labs catalog.

If this instance was created using the constructor, it will be in the UNSAVED state and is considered a new Descartes Labs catalog object that must be created. If the catalog object already exists in this case, this method will raise a BadRequestError.

If this instance was retrieved using get(), get_or_create() or any other way (for example as part of a search()), and any of its values were changed, it will be in the MODIFIED state and the existing catalog object will be updated.

If this instance was retrieved using get(), get_or_create() or any other way (for example as part of a search()), and none of its values were changed, it will be in the SAVED state, and if no extra_attributes parameter is given, nothing will happen.

Parameters

extra_attributes (dict, optional) – A dictionary of attributes that should be sent to the catalog along with attributes already set on this object. Empty by default. If not empty, and the object is in the SAVED state, it is updated in the Descartes Labs catalog even though no attributes were modified.

BadRequestError – If any of the attribute values are invalid.
DeletedObjectError – If this catalog object was deleted.
ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

Example

>>> from descarteslabs.catalog import Product
>>> new_product = Product(
...     id="my-product",
...     name="My Product",
...     description="This is a test product"
... )
>>> new_product.state
<DocumentState.UNSAVED: 'unsaved'>
>>> new_product.save() 
>>> # ids will be automatically prefixed by the Descartes Labs catalog
>>> # with your organization id
>>> new_product.id 
my_org_id:my-product
>>> # Now you can retrieve the product and update it
>>> existing_product = Product.get(new_product.id) 
>>> existing_product.state 
<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>
>>> existing_product.name = "My Updated Product" 
>>> existing_product.state 
<DocumentState.MODIFIED: 'modified'>
>>> existing_product.save() 
>>> existing_product.state 
<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>

For bands, if you request a specific band type, for example SpectralBand.get(), you will only receive that type. Use Band.get() to receive any type.

Parameters

id (str) – The id of the object you are requesting.
client (CatalogClient, optional) – A CatalogClient instance to use for requests to the Descartes Labs catalog. The get_default_client() will be used if not set.

Returns

The object you requested, or None if an object with the given id does not exist in the Descartes Labs catalog.

Return type

CatalogObject or None

Raises

ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

classmethod get_many(ids, ignore_missing=False, client=None)¶

Get existing objects from the Descartes Labs catalog.

All returned Descartes Labs catalog objects will be in the SAVED state. Also see get().

For bands, if you request a specific band type, for example SpectralBand.get_many(), you will only receive that type. Use Band.get_many() to receive any type.

Parameters

ids (list(str)) – A list of identifiers for the objects you are requesting.
ignore_missing (bool, optional) – Whether to raise a NotFoundError exception if any of the requested objects are not found in the Descartes Labs catalog. False by default which raises the exception.
client (CatalogClient, optional) – A CatalogClient instance to use for requests to the Descartes Labs catalog. The get_default_client() will be used if not set.

Returns

List of the objects you requested in the same order.

Return type

list(CatalogObject)

Raises

NotFoundError – If any of the requested objects do not exist in the Descartes Labs catalog and ignore_missing is False.
ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

classmethod get_or_create(id, client=None, **kwargs)¶

Get an existing object from the Descartes Labs catalog or create a new object.

If the Descartes Labs catalog object is found, and the remainder of the arguments do not differ from the values in the retrieved instance, it will be returned in the SAVED state.

If the Descartes Labs catalog object is found, and the remainder of the arguments update one or more values in the instance, it will be returned in the MODIFIED state.

If the Descartes Labs catalog object is not found, it will be created and the state will be UNSAVED. Also see the example for save().

Parameters

id (str) – The id of the object you are requesting.
client (CatalogClient, optional) – A CatalogClient instance to use for requests to the Descartes Labs catalog. The get_default_client() will be used if not set.
kwargs (dict, optional) – With the exception of readonly attributes (created, modified), any attribute of a catalog object can be set as a keyword argument (Also see ATTRIBUTES).

Returns

The requested catalog object that was retrieved or created.

Return type

CatalogObject

classmethod make_valid_name(name)¶

Replace invalid characters in the given name and return a valid name.

Replace any sequence of invalid characters in a string with a single _ character to create a valid name for Band or Image. Since the Band and Image names have a limited character set, this method will replace any sequence of characters outside that character set with a single _ character. The returned string is a safe name to use for a Band or Image. The given string is unchanged.

Note that it is possible that two unique invalid names may turn into duplicate valid names if the uniqueness is located in the same sequence of invalid characters.

Parameters: name (str) – A name for a Band or Image that may contain invalid characters.
Returns: A name for a Band or Image that does not contain any invalid characters.
Return type: str

Example

>>> from descarteslabs.catalog import SpectralBand, Band
>>> name = "This is ań @#$^*% ïñvalid name!!!!"
>>> band = SpectralBand()
>>> band.name = Band.make_valid_name(name)
>>> band.name
'This_is_a_valid_name_'

reload()¶

Reload all attributes from the Descartes Labs catalog.

Refresh the state of this catalog object from the object in the Descartes Labs catalog. This may be necessary if there are concurrent updates and the object in the Descartes Labs catalog was updated from another client. The instance state must be in the SAVED state.

If you want to revert a modified object to its original one, you should use get() on the object class with the object’s id.

Raises

ValueError – If the catalog object is not in the SAVED state.
DeletedObjectError – If this catalog object was deleted.
ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

Example

>>> from descarteslabs.catalog import Product
>>> p = Product(id="my_org_id:my_product_id")
>>> # Some time elapses and a concurrent change was made
>>> p.state 
<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>
>>> p.reload() 
>>> # But once you make changes, you cannot use this method any more
>>> p.name = "My name has changed"
>>> p.reload() 
Traceback (most recent call last):
    ...
ValueError: Product instance with id my_org_id:my_product_id has not been saved
>>> # But you can revert
>>> p = Product.get(p.id) 
>>> p.state 
<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>

save(extra_attributes=None)¶

Saves this object to the Descartes Labs catalog.

If this instance was created using the constructor, it will be in the UNSAVED state and is considered a new Descartes Labs catalog object that must be created. If the catalog object already exists in this case, this method will raise a BadRequestError.

If this instance was retrieved using get(), get_or_create() or any other way (for example as part of a search()), and any of its values were changed, it will be in the MODIFIED state and the existing catalog object will be updated.

If this instance was retrieved using get(), get_or_create() or any other way (for example as part of a search()), and none of its values were changed, it will be in the SAVED state, and if no extra_attributes parameter is given, nothing will happen.

Parameters

extra_attributes (dict, optional) – A dictionary of attributes that should be sent to the catalog along with attributes already set on this object. Empty by default. If not empty, and the object is in the SAVED state, it is updated in the Descartes Labs catalog even though no attributes were modified.

Raises

ConflictError – If you’re trying to create a new object and the object with given id already exists in the Descartes Labs catalog.
BadRequestError – If any of the attribute values are invalid.
DeletedObjectError – If this catalog object was deleted.
ClientError or ServerError – Spurious exception that can occur during a network request.

Example

>>> from descarteslabs.catalog import Product
>>> new_product = Product(
...     id="my-product",
...     name="My Product",
...     description="This is a test product"
... )
>>> new_product.state
<DocumentState.UNSAVED: 'unsaved'>
>>> new_product.save() 
>>> # ids will be automatically prefixed by the Descartes Labs catalog
>>> # with your organization id
>>> new_product.id 
my_org_id:my-product
>>> # Now you can retrieve the product and update it
>>> existing_product = Product.get(new_product.id) 
>>> existing_product.state 
<DocumentState.SAVED: 'saved'>
>>> existing_product.name = "My Updated Product" 
>>> existing_product.state 
<DocumentState.MODIFIED: 'modified'>
>>> existing_product.save()
