Hello,
I’m thinking, if there is a way to visualize the drop in NDVI value between two dates. Something like pixels with NDVI drop from 0.8 to 0.6 in yellow and from 0.8 to 0.5 and less in red.
I didn’t find anything like that in script repository and I’m too clueless to be able to create it by myself.
Yep, it is possible.
You have to engage the multi-temporal processing (mosaicking = ORBIT)
Here is an example
In order to configure the right colors, you might want to revise or replace this part:
return valueInterpolate(diff, [-1, 0, 1], [
[1, 0, 0],
[1, 1, 1],
[0, 1, 0]
]);
Thank you for your response.
I have a few questions about the script to be able to use it.
If I use it on another image it shows only white color,
and I don’t see the part in the script that defines the 2 dates being compared.
Thanks for any answer.
Not sure what you mean by “on another image”. It is important to have a time range, so that there is something to compare. In EO Browser there is a “timespan” button, where you need to set start and end time.
Here the difference is calculated:
var ndvi_last = calcNDVI(samples[0]);
var ndvi_first = calcNDVI(samples[samples.length - 1]);
var diff = ndvi_last - ndvi_first;
Oh, I see. I kinda made some visuals from that, but it highlights red not only decresed ndvi values, but all low ndvi values such as water, building etc… I don’t know how to make it work as I described.
Hello,
I still haven’t managed out how to edit that script to visualize only the 0,5-0,8 ndvi values (I’m interested only about trees). If it’s not a big deal, could you still help me with that?
Hi, if you could share the evalscript I can help you with your visualisation 
Hello, thank you for your help.
I’m currently working with the script below that sent me Mr. Milcinski , but I can’t get the visualization I need. The script shows some changes in NDVI, but I’m only interested in tree values and only those that are decreasing. Practically I am trying to script showing this anomaly. But currently the script visualizes all surfaces in red and it’s hard to find the anomaly I need. Since healthy trees have an ndvi value higher than 0.8, I would like the script to show only the places with decline rate from this value.
Script:
//VERSION=3
//This script was converted from v1 to v3 using the converter API
function setup() {
return {
input: [{
bands: [
"B04",
"B08"
]
}],
output: {
bands: 3
},
mosaicking: "ORBIT"
}
}
function calcNDVI(sample) {
var denom = sample.B04+sample.B08;
return ((denom!=0) ? (sample.B08-sample.B04) / denom : 0.0);
}
function evaluatePixel(samples) {
var ndvi_last = calcNDVI(samples[0]);
var ndvi_first = calcNDVI(samples[samples.length - 1]);
var diff = ndvi_last - ndvi_first;
return valueInterpolate(diff, [-1, 0, 1], [
[1, 0, 0],
[1, 1, 1],
[0, 1, 0]
]);
}
function filterScenes (scenes, inputMetadata) {
return scenes.filter(function (scene) {
return scene.date.getTime()>=(inputMetadata.to.getTime()-2*31*24*3600*1000) ;
});
}
Hi @MicroCzech ,
If I understand correctly, you would like to mask out pixels having an initial ndvi value lower than 0.8. In this case you could create mask with the threshold you mentioned and put it to the forth band for transparency.
Here’s an example code:
//VERSION=3
function setup() {
return {
input: [{
bands: [
"B04",
"B08"
]
}],
output: {
bands: 4
},
mosaicking: "ORBIT"
}
}
function calcNDVI(sample) {
var denom = sample.B04+sample.B08;
return ((denom!=0) ? (sample.B08-sample.B04) / denom : 0.0);
}
function evaluatePixel(samples) {
var ndvi_last = calcNDVI(samples[0]);
var ndvi_first = calcNDVI(samples[samples.length - 1]);
var diff = ndvi_last - ndvi_first;
var tree_mask = 1
if (ndvi_first < 0.8) {
tree_mask = 0;
}
var viz = valueInterpolate(diff, [-1, 0, 1], [
[1, 0, 0],
[1, 1, 1],
[0, 1, 0]
]);
return [viz[0], viz[1], viz[2], tree_mask];
