Geo¶

Classes:

`AOI`([geometry, resolution, crs, …])	A GeoContext that clips imagery to a geometry, and/or to square bounds, with any output resolution and CRS.
`DLTile`(dltile_dict[, all_touched])	A GeoContext that clips and projects imagery to a single DLTile.
`GeoContext`([all_touched])	Specifies spatial parameters to use when loading a raster from the Descartes Labs catalog.
`XYZTile`(x, y, z[, all_touched])	A GeoContext for XYZ tiles, such as those used in web maps.

class AOI(geometry=None, resolution=None, crs=None, align_pixels=None, bounds=None, bounds_crs='EPSG:4326', shape=None, all_touched=False)[source]¶

A GeoContext that clips imagery to a geometry, and/or to square bounds, with any output resolution and CRS.

Examples

cutline_aoi = dl.scenes.AOI(my_geometry, resolution=40)
aoi_with_cutline_disabled = cutline_aoi.assign(geometry=None)
no_cutline_aoi = dl.scenes.AOI(geometry=None, resolution=15, bounds=(-40, 35, -39, 36))
aoi_without_auto_bounds = dl.scenes.AOI(geometry=my_geometry, resolution=15, bounds=(-40, 35, -39, 36))
aoi_with_specific_pixel_dimensions = dl.scenes.AOI(geometry=my_geometry, shape=(200, 400))

Parameters:

geometry (GeoJSON-like dict, object with __geo_interface__; optional) – When searching, filter for elements which intersect this geometry. When rastering, clip imagery to this geometry. Coordinates must be WGS84 (lat-lon). If None, imagery will just be clipped to bounds.
resolution (float, optional) – Distance, in native units of the CRS, that the edge of each pixel represents on the ground. Do not assume this to always be either degrees or meters. Can only specify one of resolution and shape.
crs (str, optional) – Coordinate Reference System into which imagery will be projected, expressed as an EPSG code (like EPSG:4326), a PROJ.4 definition, or an OGC CRS Well-Known Text string.
align_pixels (bool, optional, default True if resolution is not None) –
If True, this ensures that, in different images rasterized with this same AOI GeoContext, pixels (i, j) correspond to the same area in space. This is accomplished by snapping the coordinates of the origin (top-left corner of top-left pixel) to a non-fractional interval of resolution. Note that in cases where shape has been specified, this may lead to the resulting image being one pixel larger in each dimension, so the the entire bounds is included.

If align_pixels is False, when using imagery with different native resolutions and/or projections, pixels at the same indices can be misaligned by a fraction of resolution (i.e. correspond to slighly different coordinates in space).

However, this requires warping of the original image, which can be undesireable when you want to work with the original data in its native resolution and projection.
bounds (4-tuple, optional) – Clip imagery to these (min_x, min_y, max_x, max_y) bounds, expressed in bounds_crs (which defaults to WGS84 lat-lon). bounds are automatically computed from geometry if not specified. Otherwise, bounds are required.
bounds_crs (str, optional, default "EPSG:4326") – The Coordinate Reference System of the bounds, given as an EPSG code (like EPSG:4326), a PROJ.4 definition, or an OGC CRS Well-Known Text string.
shape (2-tuple, optional) – (rows, columns), in pixels, the output raster should fit within; the longer side of the raster will be min(shape). Can only specify one of resolution and shape. Note that when align_pixels is True, the actual resulting raster may be one pixel larger in each direction.
all_touched (bool, default False) – If True, this ensures that any source pixel which intersects the AOI GeoContext contributes to the raster result. Normally this mode is not enabled, and its use is strongly discouraged. However, it can be useful when the AOI is smaller than a source pixel, which under many situations will return no result at all (i.e. entirely masked).

assign(geometry='unchanged', resolution='unchanged', crs='unchanged', align_pixels='unchanged', bounds='unchanged', bounds_crs='unchanged', shape='unchanged', all_touched='unchanged')[source]¶

Return a copy of the AOI with the given values assigned.

Note

If you are assigning a new geometry and want bounds to updated as well, use bounds="update". This will also change bounds_crs to EPSG:4326, since the geometry’s coordinates are in WGS84 decimal degrees, so the new bounds determined from those coordinates must be in that CRS as well.

If you assign geometry without changing bounds, the new AOI GeoContext will produce rasters with the same shape and covering the same spatial area as the old one, just with pixels masked out that fall outside your new geometry.

Returns:	new
Return type:	AOI

property align_pixels¶

If True, this ensures that, in different images rasterized with this same AOI GeoContext, pixels (i, j) correspond to the same area in space. This is accomplished by snapping the coordinates of the origin (top-left corner of top-left pixel) to a non-fractional interval of resolution. Note that in cases where shape has been specified, this may lead to the resulting image being one pixel larger in each dimension, so the the entire bounds is included.

If align_pixels is False, when using imagery with different native resolutions and/or projections, pixels at the same indicies can be misaligned by a fraction of resolution (i.e. correspond to slighly different coordinates in space).

However, this requires warping of the original image, which can be undesireable when you want to work with the original data in its native resolution and projection.

Type:	bool

property bounds¶

class DLTile(dltile_dict, all_touched=False)[source]¶

Constructs a DLTile from a parameter dictionary. It is preferred to use the DLTile.from_latlon, :meth:`DLTile.from_shape(), or DLTile.from_key() class methods to construct a DLTile GeoContext.

all_touched (bool, default False) – If True, this ensures that any source pixel which intersects the AOI GeoContext contributes to the raster result. Normally this mode is not enabled, and its use is strongly discouraged.

class GeoContext(all_touched=False)[source]¶

Specifies spatial parameters to use when loading a raster from the Descartes Labs catalog.

Two Scenes loaded with the same GeoContext will result in images with the same shape (in pixels), covering the same spatial extent, regardless of the dimensions or projection of the original data.

Specifically, a fully-defined GeoContext specifies:

geometry to use as a cutline (WGS84), and/or bounds

Parameters:	all_touched (bool, default False) – If True, this ensures that any source pixel which intersects the AOI GeoContext contributes to the raster result. Normally this mode is not enabled, and its use is strongly discouraged. However, it can be useful when the AOI is smaller than a source pixel, which under many situations will return no result at all (i.e. entirely masked).
