rindcalc

Raster Index Calculator

rind calc is a python package created to allow complete raster index calculation using Landsat-8 using gdal and numpy. Landsat bands are pulled directly from file downloaded from USGS containing all bands os landsat scene. Since rindcalc only requires the file in which Landsat-8 bands are contained instead of each individual band to be specified, it allows for easy, quick, and seamless index calculations from Landsat-8 imagery.

Dependencies

• GDAL (v 3.0.0 or greater)
• numpy (v 1.0.0 or greater)

Installation

Windows

pip install rindcalc

For Windows installation gdal wheels must be installed first.

Modules

landsat_dir = Landsat-8 folder that contains all bands

*_out = out file raster will be saved as

i.e. Landsat-8 folder structure:

Indices

Water

• AWEIsh = ((Blue + 2.5 * Green - 1.5 * (NIR + SWIR1) - 0.25 * SWIR2)) / (Blue + Green + NIR + SWIR1 + SWIR2)

• NDWI = ((nir_band - swir1_band) / (nir_band + swir1_band))

• MNDWI = ((Green - SWIR1) / (Green + SWIR1))

Moisture

• NDMI = ((NIR - SWIR1) / (NIR + SWIR1))

Vegetation

• NDVI = ((NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red))

• Green NDVI (GNDVI) = ((nir_band - green_band) / (nir_band + green_band))

• SAVI = ((NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red + L)) x (1 + L)

  • L = Soil Brightness Factor

Landscape

• NDBI = (SWIR1 - NIR) / (SWIR1 + NIR)

• NDBaI = ((SWIR1 - TIR) / (SWIR1 + TIR))

• NBLI = ((Red - TIR) / (Red + TIR))

• EBBI = ((swir1_band - nir_band) / (10 * (np.sqrt(swir1_band + tir_band))))

Fire

• NBRI = ((nir_band - swir2_band) / (nir_band + swir2_band))
