Average NDVI from a polygon

Apps / Services
1

Hello,

I’m getting started accessing the Process API (S2L1C) and I need to get the minimum, maximum and average ndvi from a polygon.

I’ve already getting the TIFF file with the desired colors, but I don’t know where to start to get those values in the response.

I’m using CURL and PHP.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi @marcos.fbc,

the easiest way is to use a dedicated API for this - Statiatical API.

The other option is using updateOutputMetadata function of the custom script as demonstrated in Tip 6 in this blog:

Thanks for your quick response.
I`ll try both today.

Hi @gmilcinski,

Thanks again for your response.
I’m trying to use Statiacical API, but when I changed the region using GEOMETRY the response was empty.

Actually I needed to add RESX and RESY to my request as well.

Any ideas why is it happening?

There are several problems in your request:

  • CRS is defined as EPSG:3857, yet your geometry is provided in EPSG:4326
  • geometry should be provided in latitude/longitude order
  • RESX and RESY should not appear in Statistical API, used RESOLUTION instead
  • RESOLUTION should be provided in the same units as the CRS, e.g. in degrees in your case; there is an exception in case of Statistical API, that you can use RESOLUTION=10m if you want us to give a best try to convert these “10 meters into degrees at your latitude”

Applying all of this you get a request, that works:

@gmilcinski,

I already tested here and it’s working fine.

Thank you for your help

Hi guys

Did you have any examples of the kinds of results were generated here?
