Chapter 8. Raster Analysis II

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Calculating NDVI
  • Handling null values
  • Setting extents with masks
  • Sampling a raster layer
  • Visualizing multispectral layers
  • Modifying and reclassifying values in raster layers
  • Performing supervised classification of raster layers

Introduction

Following the previous chapter, this chapter introduces some additional techniques for raster analysis. This chapter will show you how to work with images, how to modify raster values and classify them, and how raster layers can be used along with vector layers, thus extending the set of tools that were introduced in the recipes in the previous chapter.
