Removing clouds

Let’s use EOReader with optical data, in order to remove clouds from brightness temperature measurements

Imports

import os
from eoreader.reader import Reader
from eoreader.bands import TIR_1, CLOUDS

Open the product

First, open a Landsat-8 OLI-TIRS collection 2 product.

path = os.path.join("/home", "data", "DATA", "PRODS", "LANDSATS_COL2", "LC08_L1TP_200030_20201220_20210310_02_T1.tar")
reader = Reader()
prod = reader.open(path)
prod

Load clouds and TIR band

# Load those bands as a dict of xarray.DataArray
bands = prod.load([TIR_1, CLOUDS])
bands[TIR_1].plot(cmap="viridis")

<matplotlib.collections.QuadMesh at 0x7fbf20314c10>

bands[CLOUDS].plot()

<matplotlib.collections.QuadMesh at 0x7fbf202ce620>

Remove clouds from TIR band

cloud_free = bands[TIR_1].where(bands[CLOUDS] == 0)
cloud_free.plot(cmap="viridis")
