generic classes and functions to query, access and process multi-spectral and SAR satellite images
Project description
ukis-csmask
UKIS Cloud Shadow MASK (ukis-csmask) package masks clouds and cloud shadows in Sentinel-2, Landsat-8, Landsat-7 and Landsat-5 images. Masking is performed with a pre-trained convolution neural network. It is fast and works directly on Level-1C data (no atmospheric correction required). Images just need to be in Top Of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance and include at least the "Blue", "Green", "Red", "NIR", "SWIR1" and "SWIR2" spectral bands.
This publication provides further insight into the underlying algorithm and compares it to the widely used Fmask algorithm across a heterogeneous test dataset. If you use ukis-csmask in your work, please consider citing us as follows.

Example
Here's an example on how to compute a cloud and cloud shadow mask from an image. Please note that here we use ukis-pysat for convencience image handling, but you can also work directly with NUMPY arrays.
from ukis-csmask.mask import CSmask
from ukis-pysat.raster import Image, Platform
# read Level-1C image from file, convert digital numbers to TOA reflectance
# and make sure resolution is 30 m to get best performance
img = Image(data="sentinel2.tif", dimorder="last")
img.dn2toa(platform=Platform.Sentinel2)
img.warp(
resampling_method=0,
resolution=30,
dst_crs=img.dataset.crs
)
# compute cloud and cloud shadow mask
# NOTE: band_order must match the order of bands in the input image. it does not have to be in this explicit order,
# but needs to include these six spectral bands.
csmask = CSmask(
img=img.arr,
band_order=["Blue", "Green", "Red", "NIR", "SWIR1", "SWIR2"],
nodata_value=0,
)
# access cloud and cloud shadow mask
csmask_csm = csmask.csm
# access valid mask
csmask_valid = csmask.valid
# convert results to UKIS-pysat Image
csmask_csm = Image(csmask.csm, transform=img.dataset.transform, crs=img.dataset.crs, dimorder="last")
csmask_valid = Image(csmask.valid, transform=img.dataset.transform, crs=img.dataset.crs, dimorder="last")
# write results back to file
csmask_csm.write_to_file("sentinel2_csm.tif", dtype=np.uint8, compress="PACKBITS")
csmask_valid.write_to_file("sentinel2_valid.tif", dtype=np.uint8, compress="PACKBITS", kwargs={"nbits":2})

What is UKIS?
The DLR project Environmental and Crisis Information System (the German abbreviation is UKIS, standing for Umwelt- und Kriseninformationssysteme aims at harmonizing the development of information systems at the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) and setting up a framework of modularized and generalized software components.
UKIS is intended to ease and standardize the process of setting up specific information systems and thus bridging the gap from EO product generation and information fusion to the delivery of products and information to end users.
Furthermore the intention is to save and broaden know-how that was and is invested and earned in the development of information systems and components in several ongoing and future DFD projects.
