RSGISLib Zonal Stats Module

For undertaking a pixel-in-polygon analysis you need to consider the size of the polygons with respect to the size of the pixels being intersected.

Where the pixels are small with respect to the polygons so there is at least one pixel within the polygon then the best function to use is:

  • rsgislib.zonalstats.calc_zonal_band_stats

If the pixels are large with respect to the polygons then use the following function which intersects the polygon centroid.

  • rsgislib.zonalstats.calc_zonal_poly_pts_band_stats

If the pixel size in between and/or polygons are varied in size such that it is not certain that all polygons will contain a pixel then the following function will first attempt to intersect the polygon with the pixels and if there is not a pixel within the polygon then the centriod is used.

  • rsgislib.zonalstats.calc_zonal_band_stats_test_poly_pts

These functions extract values from an image for a set of vector points.

rsgislib.zonalstats.msk_h5_smpls_to_finite_values(input_h5: str, output_h5: str, datatype: int = None, lower_limit: float = None, upper_limit: float = None)

A function to remove values from a HDF5 sample file which are not finite. Upper and lower values can also be specified.

Parameters:
  • input_h5 – Input HDF5 file.

  • output_h5 – Output HDF5 file.

  • datatype – is the data type used for the output HDF5 file (e.g., rsgislib.TYPE_32FLOAT). If None (default) then the output data type will be float32.

  • lower_limit – Optional lower value threshold (if None then not used).

  • upper_limit – Optional upper value threshold (if None then not used).

rsgislib.zonalstats.get_hdf5_data(h5_files: List[str]) array
A function to get the data from a list of HDF files

(e.g., from rsgislib.zonalstats.extract_zone_img_band_values_to_hdf)

Parameters:

h5_files – a list of input files.

Returns:

numpy array with the data or None is there is no data to return.

rsgislib.zonalstats.get_var_from_hdf5_data(h5_files: List[str], var_idx: int = 0) array
A function to get the data for a specific variable from a list of HDF files

(e.g., from rsgislib.zonalstats.extract_zone_img_band_values_to_hdf)

Parameters:
  • h5_files – a list of input files.

  • var_idx – the index for the variable of interest. Note array indexing starts at 0. So if you want image band 2 then that will be index 1 etc.

Returns:

numpy array with the data or None is there is no data to return.
