Temporal analysis - burned area

#3

In case you want to compare two specific dates, you might use something along the lines of:

function filterScenes (scenes, inputMetadata) {
    return scenes.filter(function (scene) {
	  var allowedDates = ["2017-11-05","2017-12-05"];
      
      var sceneDateStr = getDateInISO(scene.date);
      if (allowedDates.indexOf(sceneDateStr)>=0) return true;
      else return false;
    });
}

in the filterScenes section.
To do this in a dynamic fashion, you would want to use EVALSCRIPT parameter - e.g. prepare the script in your application, then encode it (BASE64) and then pass it as EVALSCRIPT.

Thanks Grega, your help is much appreciated! I got the results I wanted with the script below:

    function setup (dss) {
      // get all bands for display and analysis
      setInputComponents([dss.B02,dss.B03,dss.B04,dss.B08,dss.B12]);
      // return as RGB
      setOutputComponentCount(3);
    }

    function filterScenes (scenes, inputMetadata) {  
      return scenes.filter(function (scene) {
        // set dates for pre-and-post fire analysis
        var allowedDates = ["2017-05-15","2017-06-24"]; // Knysna fires
        // format scene date timestamp to match allowed dates 
        var sceneDateStr = dateformat(scene.date);
        if (allowedDates.indexOf(sceneDateStr)!= -1) return true;
        else return false;
      });
    }

    // Normalized Burn Ration calculation
    function calcNBR(sample) {
      var denom = sample.B08+sample.B12;
      var nbrval = ((denom!=0) ? (sample.B08-sample.B12) / denom : 0.0);
      return nbrval;
    }

    function dateformat(d){  
      var dd = d.getDate();
      var mm = d.getMonth()+1;
      var yyyy = d.getFullYear();
      if(dd<10){dd='0'+dd}
      if(mm<10){mm='0'+mm}
      var isodate = yyyy+'-'+mm+'-'+dd;
      return isodate;
    }

    function evaluatePixel(samples,scenes) {  
      var nbrpre = 0;
      var nbrpost = 0;  
      
      // get pre-fire image
      nbrpre = calcNBR(samples[1]);
      // get post-fire image
      nbrpost = calcNBR(samples[0]);          
      // get difference 
      var dnbr = nbrpre - nbrpost;
      // set output display layers
      var NaturalColors = [3 * samples[0].B04, 3 * samples[0].B03, 3 * samples[0].B02];          
      var burnModerate = [1,0.5,0];
      var burnSevere = [1,0,0];
      return (dnbr < 0.27 ?
              NaturalColors : (dnbr < 0.66 ?
                burnModerate : burnSevere)
      );
      
    }

How to have a NDVI anomaly image

That looks great. Thanks for sharing it.

A little tweaked for nicer visuals:

function setup (dss) {
  // get all bands for display and analysis
  setInputComponents([dss.B02,dss.B03,dss.B04,dss.B05,dss.B08,dss.B12]);
  // return as RGB
  setOutputComponentCount(3);
}

function stretch(val, min, max) {return (val - min) / (max - min);}

function filterScenes (scenes, inputMetadata) {  
return scenes.filter(function (scene) {
// set dates for pre-and-post fire analysis
var allowedDates = ["2017-05-15","2017-06-24"]; // Knysna fires
// format scene date timestamp to match allowed dates 
var sceneDateStr = dateformat(scene.date);
if (allowedDates.indexOf(sceneDateStr)!= -1) return true;
else return false;
  });
}

// Normalized Burn Ration calculation
function calcNBR(sample) {
  var denom = sample.B08+sample.B12;
  var nbrval = ((denom!=0) ? (sample.B08-sample.B12) / denom : 0.0);
  return nbrval;
}

function dateformat(d){  
  var dd = d.getDate();
  var mm = d.getMonth()+1;
  var yyyy = d.getFullYear();
  if(dd<10){dd='0'+dd}
  if(mm<10){mm='0'+mm}
  var isodate = yyyy+'-'+mm+'-'+dd;
  return isodate;
}

function evaluatePixel(samples,scenes) {  
  var nbrpre = 0;
  var nbrpost = 0;  
  
  // get pre-fire image
  nbrpre = calcNBR(samples[1]);
  // get post-fire image
  nbrpost = calcNBR(samples[0]);  
  // get difference 
  var dnbr = nbrpre - nbrpost;
  // set output display layers
  var stretchMin = 0.05;
  var stretchMax = 1.00;
  var NaturalColors = [stretch(2.8 * samples[0].B04 + 0.1 * samples[0].B05, stretchMin, stretchMax), stretch(2.8 * samples[0].B03 + 0.15 * samples[0].B08, stretchMin, stretchMax), stretch(2.8 * samples[0].B02, stretchMin, stretchMax)];  
  var burnModerate = [stretch(2.8 * samples[0].B04 + 0.1 * samples[0].B05, stretchMin, stretchMax)+0.5, stretch(2.8 * samples[0].B03 + 0.15 * samples[0].B08, stretchMin, stretchMax)+0.5, stretch(2.8 * samples[0].B02, stretchMin, stretchMax)];  
  var burnSevere = [stretch(2.8 * samples[0].B04 + 0.1 * samples[0].B05, stretchMin, stretchMax)+0.5, stretch(2.8 * samples[0].B03 + 0.15 * samples[0].B08, stretchMin, stretchMax), stretch(2.8 * samples[0].B02, stretchMin, stretchMax)];
  return (dnbr < 0.27 ?
  NaturalColors : (dnbr < 0.66 ?
  burnModerate : burnSevere)
  );
  
}

Hi ! I found very interesting what you are doing.
I tried to run the scrypt on the playground with out success. I zoomed in a area where i know a fire scar, and changed the pre and post fire dates. Should i change any other parameter?

Thanks in advance

Hi Nicolas,

you need to use the “temporal” playground app, which is in prototype mode, e.g.:

And then do as you suggested.
If it does not work, let me know, which area you are looking at and which are the dates, so that we can debug.

Best,
Grega

#11

So many thanks Grega! Nice job!

It could be very interesting to export the results into a vectorized polygon, do you think is possible in this environment?

Looks nice, thanks for sharing.
Vectorized polygon is an output option, see:
https://sentinel-hub.com/develop/documentation/api/output-formats
You would need to configure your Sentinel Hub account properly and then call the service via API though.

Hi @pierre.markuse and @fcbasson

Great script and idea, up until I came across this I had been downloading terabytes of sentinel 2 to calculate difference NBR. However, I cannot see to get the above script to work in the Sentinel Hub Playground (“Error loading image:”), I am a complete noob to this platform. Do you mind please pointing me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
did you use “Temporal version of Sentinel Playground” as linked here:

Or try one link directly as described here:

Hi

Thank you very much for the very interesting script. It is great.

I’m probably asking something very simple, but my problem is that I’m not a programmer. I don´t know if it is possible to use a script like this in “wms configurator”.

In my case what I need is an image resulting from subtracting NDVI values between two dates. But trying to make you more simple, if you can tell me how to use the “Burned area temporal analysis” script in “wms configurator” it would be great. Then I will try to adapt it to what I need.

It is not urgent and thank you very much for you time

#16

Thank you to @gmilcinski for the script and @pierre.markuse for the tweaked version, it works great!

I tried to run the script also in Sentinel EO Browser but it didn’t work. I guess it does work only in the Playground Temporal web app?

#17

You are right, multi-temporal processing is not yet supported in EO Browser, which was designed to show data from single time slices. We do plan to update this, but not one of the top priority features.
You can obviously take EO Browser application source-code and deploy your own, modified, version:

Hello Grega

Thank you very much for the reply. It’s great if this option is implemented in the future. Anyway, EO Browser is still very useful and the statistical info option is already very interesting for temporary analysis.

Greetings.

#19

It is possible to understand how to export the analysis performed as a script.
grazie

#20

You can use OGC API to do so:

#21

Sorry for the question, but I can’t make this step to download the data.
could you help me if you know a tutorial.
I should do a task but I don’t know the construction of the API very well.
Thanks for your help

#22

Hi,Thank you for the script. I tried running it for my area but it returned a black image. @pierre.markuse ,@fcbasson and @gmilcinski could you please give me ideas on how to customize it to fit my area. What parameters do I need to change/add on the script?

Please note I have no programming skills, I am still trying to teach myself programming.
