landsat9geo 0.2.0

Landsat 9 L2SP geological mapping toolkit — spectral indices, MVT exploration, pansharpening, and DEM derivatives.

landsat9geo

Landsat 9 L2SP geological mapping toolkit — spectral indices, MVT exploration ratios, Brovey pansharpening, decorrelation stretch, and DEM derivatives in a single pip install.

Installation

pip install landsat9geo

Quick start

CLI

# From a .tar archive with shapefile clip
landsat9geo --tar LC09_L2SP_193036_20230713.tar --shp aoi.shp -o results/

# With panchromatic sharpening and DEM
landsat9geo --dir ./extracted/ --shp aoi.shp --pan B8.TIF --dem srtm.tif

Python API

from landsat9geo import LandsatGeologyPipeline

pipe = LandsatGeologyPipeline(
    tar_path="LC09_L2SP_193036_20230713.tar",
    shp_path="aoi.shp",
    pan_path="B8.TIF",
    dem_path="srtm.tif",
    output_dir="results",
)
outputs = pipe.run()

Individual functions

from landsat9geo import safe_ratio, sabins_fcc, mvt_target_rgb, decorrelation_stretch

# Sabins geological false-colour composite
fcc = sabins_fcc(bands)   # R=SWIR2/NIR  G=SWIR1/Red  B=Red/Blue

# MVT exploration composite
mvt = mvt_target_rgb(bands)

# Decorrelation stretch on SWIR bands for subtle carbonate differences
import numpy as np
swir_stack = np.stack([bands["SR_B5"], bands["SR_B6"], bands["SR_B7"]], axis=-1)
dcs = decorrelation_stretch(swir_stack)

Output products

Directory	Contents
SR_30m.tif	7-band surface reflectance (scaled, cloud-masked)
ST_30m_K.tif	Land surface temperature (Kelvin)
SR_pansharpened_15m.tif	Brovey-sharpened 15 m reflectance
geological_ratios.tif	18-band stack of all indices
DEM_derivatives.tif	Elevation, slope, aspect, hillshade

Geological ratios (band order in geological_ratios.tif)

1. Iron Oxide (Red/Blue) — Fe³⁺ gossans, laterite
2. Ferrous Iron (SWIR1/Red) — Fe²⁺ mafics, chlorite
3. Clay/Hydroxyl (SWIR1/SWIR2) — Al-OH kaolinite, illite
4. Carbonate (SWIR2/NIR) — CO₃²⁻ calcite, dolomite
5. Ferric Oxide (Red/Green) — hematite/goethite
6. NDVI — vegetation mask
7. Silica (SWIR2/SWIR1) — quartz-rich lithologies 8–12. Sabins FCC components, BSI, MgOH … 13–15. Opaque Mineral, Mineral Ratio 16–18. MVT indices — Carbonate Host, Gossan, Alteration Halo

QGIS tip: load geological_ratios.tif, set bands 10/11/12 as RGB for the classic Sabins geology false-colour composite.
