Overview

The Awesome Spectral Indices is a standardized ready-to-use curated list of spectral indices that can be used as expressions for computing spectral indices in remote sensing applications. The list was born initially to supply spectral indices for Google Earth Engine through eemont and spectral, but given the necessity to compute spectral indices for other object classes outside the Earth Engine ecosystem, a new package was required.

Spyndex is a python package that uses the spectral indices from the Awesome Spectral Indices list and creates an expression evaluation method that is compatible with python object classes that support overloaded operators (e.g. numpy.ndarray, pandas.Series, xarray.DataArray).

Some of the spyndex features are listed here:

  • Access to Spectral Indices from the Awesome Spectral Indices list.
  • Multiple Spectral Indices computation.
  • Kernel Indices computation.
  • Parallel processing.
  • Compatibility with a lot of python objects!

Check the simple usage of spyndex here:

import spyndex
import numpy as np
import xarray as xr

N = np.random.normal(0.6,0.10,10000)
R = np.random.normal(0.1,0.05,10000)

da = xr.DataArray(
    np.array([N,R]).reshape(2,100,100),
    dims = ("band","x","y"),
    coords = {"band": ["NIR","Red"]}
)

idx = spyndex.computeIndex(
    index = ["NDVI","SAVI"],
    params = {
        "N": da.sel(band = "NIR"),
        "R": da.sel(band = "Red"),
        "L": 0.5
    }
)

How does it work?

Any python object class that supports overloaded operators can be used with spyndex methods.


"Hey... what do you mean by 'overloaded operators'?"


That's the million dollars' question! An object class that supports overloaded operators is the one that allows you to compute mathematical operations using common operators (+, -, /, *, **) like a + b, a + b * c or (a - b) / (a + b). You know the last one, right? That's the formula of the famous NDVI.

So, if you can use the overloaded operators with an object class, you can use that class with spyndex!

BE CAREFUL! Not all overloaded operators work as mathematical operators. In a list object class, the addition operator (+) concatenates two objects instead of performing an addition operation! So you must convert the list into a numpy.ndarray before using spyndex!

Here is a little list of object classes that support mathematical overloaded operators:

And wait, there is more! If objects that support overloaded operatores can be used in spyndex, that means that you can work in parallel with dask!

Here is the list of the dask objects that you can use with spyndex:

  • dask.Array (with dask)
  • dask.Series (with dask)

This means that you can actually use spyndex in a lot of processes! For example, you can download a Sentinel-2 image with sentinelsat, open and read it with rasterio and then compute the desired spectral indices with spyndex. Or you can search through the Landsat-8 STAC in the Planetary Computer ecosystem using pystac-client, convert it to an xarray.DataArray with stackstac and then compute spectral indices using spyndex in parallel with dask! Amazing, right!?

Features

Exploring Spectral Indices

Spectral Indices from the Awesome Spectral Indices list can be accessed through spyndex.indices. This is a Box object where each one of the indices in the list can be accessed as well as their attributes:

import spyndex

# All indices
spyndex.indices

# NDVI index
spyndex.indices["NDVI"]

# Or with dot notation
spyndex.indices.NDVI

# Formula of the NDVI
spyndex.indices["NDVI"]["formula"]

# Or with dot notation
spyndex.indices.NDVI.formula

# Reference of the NDVI
spyndex.indices["NDVI"]["reference"]

# Or with dot notation
spyndex.indices.NDVI.reference

Default Values

Some Spectral Indices require constant values in order to be computed. Default values can be accessed through spyndex.constants. This is a Box object where each one of the constants can be accessed:

import spyndex

# All constants
spyndex.constants

# Canopy Background Adjustment
spyndex.constants["L"]

# Or with dot notation
spyndex.constants.L

# Default value
spyndex.constants["L"]["default"]

# Or with dot notation
spyndex.constants.L.default

Band Parameters

The standard band parameters description can be accessed through spyndex.bands. This is a Box object where each one of the bands can be accessed:

import spyndex

# All bands
spyndex.bands

# Blue band
spyndex.bands["B"]

# Or with dot notation
spyndex.bands.B

One (or more) Spectral Indices Computation

Use the computeIndex() method to compute as many spectral indices as you want! The index parameter receives the spectral index or a list of spectral indices to compute, while the params parameter receives a dictionary with the required parameters for the spectral indices computation.

import spyndex
import xarray as xr
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from rasterio import plot

# Open a dataset (in this case a xarray.DataArray)
snt = spyndex.datasets.open("sentinel")

# Scale the data (remember that the valid domain for reflectance is [0,1])
snt = snt / 10000

# Compute the desired spectral indices
idx = spyndex.computeIndex(
    index = ["NDVI","GNDVI","SAVI"],
    params = {
        "N": snt.sel(band = "B08"),
        "R": snt.sel(band = "B04"),
        "G": snt.sel(band = "B03"),
        "L": 0.5
    }
)

# Plot the indices (and the RGB image for comparison)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(2,2,figsize = (10,10))
plot.show(snt.sel(band = ["B04","B03","B02"]).data / 0.3,ax = ax[0,0],title = "RGB")
plot.show(idx.sel(index = "NDVI"),ax = ax[0,1],title = "NDVI")
plot.show(idx.sel(index = "GNDVI"),ax = ax[1,0],title = "GNDVI")
plot.show(idx.sel(index = "SAVI"),ax = ax[1,1],title = "SAVI")

sentinel spectral indices

Kernel Indices Computation

Use the computeKernel() method to compute the required kernel for kernel indices like the kNDVI! The kernel parameter receives the kernel to compute, while the params parameter receives a dictionary with the required parameters for the kernel computation (e.g., a, b and sigma for the RBF kernel).

import spyndex
import xarray as xr
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from rasterio import plot

# Open a dataset (in this case a xarray.DataArray)
snt = spyndex.datasets.open("sentinel")

# Scale the data (remember that the valid domain for reflectance is [0,1])
snt = snt / 10000

# Compute the kNDVI and the NDVI for comparison
idx = spyndex.computeIndex(
    index = ["NDVI","kNDVI"],
    params = {
        # Parameters required for NDVI
        "N": snt.sel(band = "B08"),
        "R": snt.sel(band = "B04"),
        # Parameters required for kNDVI
        "kNN" : 1.0,
        "kNR" : spyndex.computeKernel(
            kernel = "RBF",
            params = {
                "a": snt.sel(band = "B08"),
                "b": snt.sel(band = "B04"),
                "sigma": snt.sel(band = ["B08","B04"]).mean("band")
            }),
    }
)

# Plot the indices (and the RGB image for comparison)
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,3,figsize = (15,15))
plot.show(snt.sel(band = ["B04","B03","B02"]).data / 0.3,ax = ax[0],title = "RGB")
plot.show(idx.sel(index = "NDVI"),ax = ax[1],title = "NDVI")
plot.show(idx.sel(index = "kNDVI"),ax = ax[2],title = "kNDVI")

sentinel kNDVI

A pandas.DataFrame? Sure!

No matter what kind of python object you're working with, it can be used with spyndex as long as it supports mathematical overloaded operators!

import spyndex
import pandas as pd
import seaborn as sns
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Open a dataset (in this case a pandas.DataFrame)
df = spyndex.datasets.open("spectral")

# Compute the desired spectral indices
idx = spyndex.computeIndex(
    index = ["NDVI","NDWI","NDBI"],
    params = {
        "N": df["SR_B5"],
        "R": df["SR_B4"],
        "G": df["SR_B3"],
        "S1": df["SR_B6"]
    }
)

# Add the land cover column to the result
idx["Land Cover"] = df["class"]

# Create a color palette for plotting
colors = ["#E33F62","#3FDDE3","#4CBA4B"]

# Plot a pairplot to check the indices behaviour
plt.figure(figsize = (15,15))
g = sns.PairGrid(idx,hue = "Land Cover",palette = sns.color_palette(colors))
g.map_lower(sns.scatterplot)
g.map_upper(sns.kdeplot,fill = True,alpha = .5)
g.map_diag(sns.kdeplot,fill = True)
g.add_legend()
plt.show()

Parallel Processing

Parallel processing is possible with spyndex and dask! You can use dask.array or dask.dataframe objects to compute spectral indices with spyndex! If you're using xarray, you can also define a chunk size and work in parallel!

import spyndex
import numpy as np
import dask.array as da

# Define the array shape
array_shape = (10000,10000)

# Define the chunk size
chunk_size = (1000,1000)

# Create a dask.array object
dask_array = da.array([
    da.random.normal(0.6,0.10,array_shape,chunks = chunk_size),
    da.random.normal(0.1,0.05,array_shape,chunks = chunk_size)
])

# "Compute" the desired spectral indices
idx = spyndex.computeIndex(
    index = ["NDVI","SAVI"],
    params = {
        "N": dask_array[0],
        "R": dask_array[1],
        "L": 0.5
    }
)

# Since dask works in lazy mode,
# you have to tell it that you want to compute the indices!
idx.compute()

Plotting Spectral Indices

All posible values of a spectral index can be visualized using spyndex.plot.heatmap()! This is a module that doesn't require data, just specify the index, the bands, and BOOM! Heatmap of all the possible values of the index!

import spyndex
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns

# Define subplots grid
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1,2,figsize = (20,8))

# Plot the NDVI with the Red values on the x-axis and the NIR on the y-axis
ax[0].set_title("NDVI heatmap with default parameters")
spyndex.plot.heatmap("NDVI","R","N",ax = ax[0])

# Keywords arguments can be passed for sns.heatmap()
ax[1].set_title("NDVI heatmap with seaborn keywords arguments")
spyndex.plot.heatmap("NDVI","R","N",annot = True,cmap = "Spectral",ax = ax[1])

plt.show()

    issue in calculating some of the vegetation indices

    Hi, I have used this library to calculate some vegetation indices, but the "EVI", "GBNDVI", "GLI", "GRNDVI", "MSAVI", "MTVI2", and "VARI" could not calculate and I got this error: MergeError: conflicting values for variable 'band' on objects to be combined. You can skip this check by specifying compat='override'.

    QST: Compute custom spectral indices

    Hello,

    Is it possible to compute custom indices that are not registered in Awesome Spectral Indices ?

    My usecase is that I have maybe too specific indices that wouldn't be useful to the community. Or indices using satellites not handled currently like WorldViews/PlanetScope with the Yellow band.

    If not I would be happy to share them all 😄

    QST: Maturity level of spyndex

    Hello,

    I would like to use your library in eoreader, to replace my own way of computing spectral indices. I see that in setup.py you still are in pre-alpha mode, but according to your code, documentation and README, you seems pretty well advanced.

    So, should I wait an API stabilization ? Or am I good to go ? 😄

    Missing gamma parameter for ARVI index.

    @davemlz is the gamma parameter a fixed constant or does it need to always be specified by the user ? It is not added in the constant class. Thanks for looking into this.

  • Add `kwargs` to `computeIndex` and `computeKernel`

    Add `kwargs` to `computeIndex` and `computeKernel`

    Add kwargs so users don't have to pass a dict if they don't want to.

    Example:

    spyndex.computeIndex("NDVI",N = 0.67,R = 0.12)
    

    instead of:

    spyndex.computeIndex("NDVI",{"N": 0.67,"R": 0.12})

  • [Suggestion] Pin requirement versions (specifically python-box)

    [Suggestion] Pin requirement versions (specifically python-box)

    Hello, I am the developer of python-box and see that it is a requirement in this repo and has not been version pinned. I suggest that you pin it to the max known compatible version in your requirements.txt and/or setup.py file(s):

    python-box[all]~=5.4  
    

    Or without extra dependencies

    python-box~=5.4
    

    Using ~=5.0 (or any minor version) will lock it to the major version of 5 and minimum of minor version specified. If you add a bugfix space for 5.4.0 it would lock it to the minor version 5.4.*.

    The next major release of Box is right around the corner, and while it has many improvements, I want to ensure you have a smooth transition by being able to test at your own leisure to ensure your standard user cases do not run into any issues. I am keeping track of major changes, so please check there as a quick overview of any differences.

    To test new changes, try out the release candidate:

    pip install python-box[all]~=6.0.0rc4
