In gdalcubes: Earth Observation Data Cubes from Satellite Image Collections

Filter data cube pixels by a user-defined predicate on band values

Description

Create a proxy data cube, which evaluates a predicate over all pixels of a data cube. For all pixels that fulfill the predicate, the original band values are returned. Other pixels are simply filled with NANs. The predicate may access band values by name.

Usage

filter_pixel(cube, pred)

Arguments

cube	source data cube
pred	predicate to be evaluated over all pixels

Details

gdalcubes uses and extends the tinyexpr library to evaluate expressions in C / C++, you can look at the library documentation to see what kind of expressions you can execute. Pixel band values can be accessed by name.

Value

a proxy data cube object

Note

This function returns a proxy object, i.e., it will not start any computations besides deriving the shape of the result.

Examples

# create image collection from example Landsat data only 
# if not already done in other examples
if (!file.exists(file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"))) {
  L8_files <- list.files(system.file("L8NY18", package = "gdalcubes"),
                         ".TIF", recursive = TRUE, full.names = TRUE)
  create_image_collection(L8_files, "L8_L1TP", file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"), quiet = TRUE) 
}

L8.col = image_collection(file.path(tempdir(), "L8.db"))
v = cube_view(extent=list(left=388941.2, right=766552.4, 
              bottom=4345299, top=4744931, t0="2018-01", t1="2018-06"),
              srs="EPSG:32618", nx = 497, ny=526, dt="P1M")
L8.cube = raster_cube(L8.col, v) 
L8.cube = select_bands(L8.cube, c("B04", "B05")) 
L8.ndvi = apply_pixel(L8.cube, "(B05-B04)/(B05+B04)", "NDVI") 
L8.ndvi.filtered = filter_pixel(L8.ndvi, "NDVI > 0.5") 
L8.ndvi.filtered

plot(L8.ndvi.filtered)
