Strategy for handling antimeridian-crossing polygons.

NORMALIZE = 2#: Keep the polygon as one polygon, but extend its values to be greater than 180 or less than -180.

SPLIT = 1#: Split the polygon into multiple polygons so none cross the antimeridian.

stactools.core.utils.antimeridian.enclose_poles(polygon)[source]#

Updates an anti-meridian-crossing polygon to enclose the poles.

This works by detecting anti-meridian crossings and adding points to extend the geometry up to the north (or down to the south) pole. This is useful for (e.g.) polar-orbiting satellites who have swaths that go over the poles.

Deprecated since version v0.4.8: Use the antimeridian package instead.

Parameters:

polygon (shapely.geometry.Polygon) – An input polygon.

Returns:

The same polygon, modified to enclose the poles.

Return type:

shapely.geometry.Polygon

Raises:

ValueError – Raised if the polygon was split. This is to keep the return
type the same until this function is removed. –

stactools.core.utils.antimeridian.fix_item(item, strategy)[source]#

Modifies an item in-place to deal with antimeridian issues.

If the item’s geometry is not a Polygon` or a MultiPolygon, raises a ValueError.

Parameters:

item (pystac.Item) – The item to be modified.
strategy (Strategy)

Returns:

The input item, whether it was modified or not.

Return type:

Item

stactools.core.utils.antimeridian.normalize(polygon)[source]#

‘Normalizes’ a WGS84 lat/lon polygon, or returns None if no changes were made.

This converts the polygon’s x coordinates to all be the same sign, even if the polygon crosses the antimeridian. E.g.:

canonical = Polygon(((170, 40), (170, 50), (-170, 50), (-170, 40), (170, 40)))
normalized = stactools.core.utils.antimeridian.normalize(canonical)
assert normalized.equals(shapely.geometry.box(170, 40, 190, 50))

Inspired by https://towardsdatascience.com/around-the-world-in-80-lines-crossing-the-antimeridian-with-python-and-shapely-c87c9b6e1513.

Note

Will not work on polygons that enclose the north or south poles.

Deprecated since version v0.4.8: “Normalization” does not conform to the GeoJSON specification, and its use is discouraged.

Parameters:: polygon (shapely.geometry.Polygon) – The input polygon.
Returns:: The normalized polygon.
Return type:: Optional[shapely.geometry.Polygon]

stactools.core.utils.antimeridian.normalize_multipolygon(multi_polygon)[source]#

For each polygon in the multi-polygon, this converts the x coordinates to all be the same sign, even if the polygon crosses the antimeridian. Although the x coordinate sign within each polygon will be made the same, the sign may differ between polygons depending on their position relative to the antimeridian.

Note

Will not work on polygons that enclose the north or south poles.

Deprecated since version v0.4.8: “Normalization” does not conform to the GeoJSON specification, and its use is discouraged.

Parameters:: multi_polygon (shapely.geometry.MultiPolygon) – The input multi-polygon.

Deprecated since version v0.4.8: Use the antimeridian package instead.

Parameters:: polygon (shapely.geometry.Polygon) – The input polygon.
Returns:: The output polygons, or None if no split occurred.
Return type:: Optional[shapely.geometry.MultiPolygon]

stactools.core.utils.antimeridian.split_multipolygon(multi_polygon)[source]#

Splits multiple WGS84 polygons into a multipolygon across the antimeridian.

Deprecated since version v0.4.8: Use the antimeridian package instead.

Parameters:: multi_polygon (shapely.geometry.MultiPolygon) – The input multi polygon.
Returns:: The output polygons. Will not return None, but the Optional return type is kept to preserve backwards compatibility until this function is removed.
Return type:: Optional[shapely.geometry.MultiPolygon]

Raster footprint generation#

Generate convex hulls of valid raster data for use in STAC Item geometries.

class stactools.core.utils.raster_footprint.FootprintMergeStrategy(value, names=<not given>, *values, module=None, qualname=None, type=None, start=1, boundary=None)[source]#

Strategy for handling the aggregation of differing asset footprints.

FIRST = 1#: Use the footprint of the first matching asset.

INTERSECTION = 3#: Use the mutual intersection of all matching asset footprints.

UNION = 2#: Union the geometries of all matching assets.

class stactools.core.utils.raster_footprint.RasterFootprint(data_array, crs, transform, *, dst_crs='EPSG:4326', precision=7, densification_factor=None, densification_distance=None, simplify_tolerance=None, no_data=None)[source]#

An object for creating a convex hull polygon around all areas within an raster that have data values (i.e., they do not have the nodata value). This convex hull is termed the “footprint” of the raster data and is returned by the footprint() method as a polygon in a GeoJSON dictionary for use as the geometry attribute of a STAC Item.

Two important operations during this calculation are the densification of the footprint in the native CRS and simplification of the footprint after reprojection. If the initial low-vertex polygon in the native CRS is not densified, this can result in a reprojected polygon that does not accurately represent the data footprint. For example, a MODIS asset represented by a rectangular 5 point Polygon in a sinusoidal projection will reproject to a parallelogram in EPSG 4326, when it would be more accurately represented by a polygon with two parallel sides and two curved sides. The difference between these representations is greater the further away from the meridian and equator the asset is located.

After reprojection, the footprint may have more points than desired. This can be simplified to a polygon with fewer points that maintain a maximum distance to the original geometry.

Parameters:

data_array (numpy.NDArray[Any]) – The raster data used for the footprint calculation.
crs (CRS) – Coordinate reference system of the raster data.
dst_crs (CRS) – Coordinate reference system of the footprint data. Defaults to EPSG 4236.
transform (Affine) – Matrix defining the transformation from pixel to CRS coordinates.
precision (int) – The number of decimal places to include in the final footprint coordinates.
densification_factor (Optional[int]) – The factor by which to increase point density within the footprint polygon before projection. A factor of 2 would double the density of points (placing one new point between each existing pair of points), a factor of 3 would place two points between each point, etc. Higher densities produce higher fidelity footprints in areas of high projection distortion. Mutually exclusive with densification_distance.
densification_distance (Optional[float]) – The distance by which to increase point density within the footprint polygon before projection. If the distance is set to 2 and the segment length between two polygon vertices is 10, 4 new vertices would be created along the segment. Higher densities produce higher fidelity footprints in areas of high projection distortion. Mutually exclusive with densification_factor.
simplify_tolerance (Optional[float]) – Distance, in degrees, within which all locations on the simplified polygon will be to the original polygon.
no_data (Optional[Union[int, float]]) – The nodata value in data_array. If set to None, this will return a footprint including nodata values.

crs: CRS#: Coordinate reference system of the raster data.

data_array: ndarray[tuple[int, ...], dtype[Any]]#: 2D or 3D array of raster data.

data_extent(mask)[source]#

Parameters:

item (Item) – The PySTAC Item to update.
asset_names (List[str]) – The names of the assets for which to attempt to extract footprints. The first successful footprint will be used. If the list is empty, all assets will be tried until one is successful.
dst_crs (CRS) – Coordinate reference system of the footprint data. Defaults to EPSG 4236.

class stactools.testing.test_data.TestData(path, external_data={}, external_subpath='data-files/external')[source]#

A structure for getting paths to test data files, and fetching external data for local testing.

Initializing this from, e.g., /home/user/my-package/tests/__init__.py:

test_data = TestData(__file__)

Means that get_path will be relative to /home/user/my-package/tests.

test_data.get_path("data-files/basic")
# "/home/user/my-package/tests/data-files/basic"

When caching external data that base path is appended with test_data.external_subpath which by default is ‘data-files/external’.

For instance with the following external data configuration the external data file will be fetched from the URL, extracted from its zip file and locally stored at: /home/user/my-package/tests/data-files/external/AST_L1T_00305032000040446_20150409135350_78838.hdf

        'compress': 'zip'
    }
