3.3.4. pci.api.datasource module¶

This module handles the reading and writing of datasets. Using the classes in this module, you can read and write different types of data from datasets, including raster data, metadata, coordinate systems, math models, control points, look-up tables, and more.

3.3.4.1. Dataset¶

class pci.api.datasource.Dataset¶

Bases: instance

This class represents a dataset stored in a file, database, or some other data store mechanism. The dataset may or may not exist. Dataset cannot be instantiated directly. It must be opened using open_dataset(), open_dataset_format(), new_dataset(), or create_linked_pix().

Note, the dataset must be closed before calling PCI algorithms such as ortho and autogcp, otherwise unpredictable results and errors may occur.

Dataset is a context manager, which means that it can be used in a with statement.

Here is a quick example of how to write a crs to disk.

 from pci.api import datasource as ds

 def write_crs(uri, crs):
    'Write the specified crs to the dataset specified by uri.'
    with ds.open_dataset(uri, ds.eAM_WRITE) as dataset:
        # the crs will be flushed to disk when with clause exits.
        dataset.crs = crs

add_event((Dataset)self, (string_)action, (string_)details[, (object)start_time=None[, (object)end_time=None]]) → None :¶: Add a new file level HistoryEvent for this dataset. The type of action is specified by action and the details of this action can be specified by details. The start_time and end_time can be specified as a datetime.datetime. If either of these times are None then the current local time will be used.

property aux_data¶

The AuxiliaryData for the dataset. Using this property gives you a copy of this object’s AuxiliaryData. If you wish to modify the contents of the object’s AuxiliaryData, you have to reassign it to this object after modifying it; as follows:

 from pci.api import datasource as ds

 with ds.open_dataset(uri, ds.eAM_WRITE) as dataset:
     # get a copy of the aux_data from dataset
     aux = dataset.aux_data

     # set a file metdata field
     aux.set_file_metadata_value('new_field', 'modified')

     # set the modified aux_data to dataset
     dataset.aux_data = aux

clear_file_events((Dataset)self) → None :¶: Clear all file level HistoryEvents from this dataset.

class pci.api.datasource.MarginBehaviour¶

Bases: enum

The margin behaviour dictates the value of a pixel in the margin when the margin is past the edges of the image. In other words when trying to reading pixel values inside of the margin and the margin is past the edge of the pixel, how should an algorithm behave? Essentially, this fabricates fictitious data so that operations needing data in the margins function over the entire image.

eException - Invalid option, throw an exception.
eReflection - Reflect the pixel values using the edge of the image as the axis of reflection.
eReplication - Replicate the raster as a texture. The margins are filled as if raster repeats itself in all directions. For example, the bottom margin will correspond to the top of the raster and the top margin will correspond to the bottom of the raster, etc.
eZero - Set the values of the pixels to zero.

3.3.4.14. Signatures¶

class pci.api.datasource.SignatureDataset¶

Bases: instance

This class provides access to all signature segments on top of Dataset. SignatureDataset does not inherit from Dataset, but classes that are derived from SignatureDataset will also inherit from Dataset.

New in version 2019.

property signature_ids¶: Get a list of all signature segment IDs in the dataset.

3.3.4.15. Sensor Data¶

Remote sensing platform, e.g. Landsat, have multiple sensors such as panchromatic (PAN), multi-spectral (MS), and thermal. The data for these sensors can be classified as ‘radiometric’ and ‘non-radiometric’. Radiometric data has spectral information i.e. ‘Minimum Wavelength’, and ‘Maximum Wavelength’ - for example ‘Blue’, ‘Green’, and ‘Red’ spectral bands. Example of non-radiometric data include the ‘Quality’ band which does not have spectral wavelength data but the quailty inforamtion for each pixel.

This class is designed to retreive both the radiometric and non-radiometric infromation for given data.

The class has a function ‘sensor_data’ to give user a list of sensors and list of corresponding radiometric and n-radiometric data.

class pci.api.datasource.SensorDataInfo((object)self, (string_)filename)¶

Bases: instance

This class encapsulates an image, its sensor and band in each sensor. An image file can have single or multiple swaths. An example of multi-swath image is Landsat-8 which contains both the Panchromatic and Multispectral sensors (swaths).In collection-2 for Landsat the radiometric and non-radiometric channles are read in a single container.

property file_with_swath¶: Returns a list of ‘file name with swath’ which are read from AuxiliaryData.

property swaths¶: Returns a list of swaths which are read from AuxiliaryData.

class pci.api.datasource.SensorData¶

Bases: instance

This class encapsulates an image’s sensor and its data. It stores a sensor’s general information, radiometric channels for PAN and MS, and non-radiometric data for MS.

property ms_non_radiometric_data¶: Returns a list of MS non-radiometric data from this channel.

property ms_radiometric_data¶: Returns a list of MS radiometric data from this channel.

property pan_radiometric_data¶: Returns a list of PAN radiometric data from this channel.

property sensor_code¶: The short sensor code for the platform. For example PAN for Panchromatic, MS for Mulrispectral.

property sensor_name¶: Returns the sensor name string.

class pci.api.datasource.NonRadiometricData((object)self, (string_)filename)¶

Bases: instance

The class encapsulating non-radiometric data in an image file. The list of non-radiometric data from the input file is build by looking at the AuxiliaryData of the data read from the input file.

property bands¶: Get list of non-spectral bands in the sensor.

class pci.api.datasource.NonSpectralBand¶

Bases: instance

The class for non-spectral image bands from AuxiliaryData.

property chan_num¶: Return the corresponding channel number on file

property description¶: The description for non-spectral band.

property radiometric_trans_quantity¶: The radiometric trans quantity for non-spectral band.

class pci.api.datasource.RadiometricData((object)self, (string_)filename)¶

Bases: instance

The class to retrieve the radiometric information. The example of information include: ‘Band Description’, ‘Minimum Wavelength’, ‘Maximum Wavelength’, ‘Central Wavelength’, and ‘Spectral Response Function’.

property spectral_bands¶: Return a reference to the Spectral Bands vector

class pci.api.datasource.SpectralBand¶

Bases: instance

The class to encapsulate band’s spectral information such as: minimum and maximum wavelength, description, type, spectral response.

property central_wavelength¶

property chan_num¶: Return the corresponding channel number on file

property description¶: Return band description

property max_wavelength¶

property min_wavelength¶

property type¶: Return band description

3.3.4.16. File formats¶

The following are implementations of Dataset and other dataset types. Objects of these classes cannot be created directly, you must use open_dataset(), open_dataset_format(), new_dataset(), or create_linked_pix() to create these objects.

This section provides information about some of the common formats (foptions) used in CATALYST products. For more information about the available options of a format, see the supported file formats in the technical reference.

3.3.4.16.1. Supported format types¶

For a complete list of all supported formats, see the supported file formats in the technical reference.

New in version 2018.

class pci.api.datasource.FileFormat¶

Bases: enum

An enum representing the file formats supported by CATALYST.

pci.api.datasource.get_file_format((object)uri) → FileFormat :¶

Get the FileFormat of a dataset.

..versionadded:: 2018

pci.api.datasource.get_format_extension((int_)file_format) → str :¶: Get the file extension associated with the FileFormat file_format. If there is no extension associated with file_format then None is returned.

pci.api.datasource.file_format_to_name((int_)file_format) → object :¶: Get the format name associated with the FileFormat file_format. If there is no name associated with file_format then None is returned.

pci.api.datasource.name_to_file_format((object)format_name) → FileFormat :¶: Get the FileFormat associated with the string format_name. If there is no format associated with format_name, then FileFormat.FL_UNUSED is returned.
