Best Available Pixel (Bap) Composite using the Python API of Google Earth Engine (Gee)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This code is based on *Pixel-Based Image Compositing for Large-Area Dense Time
Series Applications and Science. (White et al., 2014)*
http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/07038992.2014.945827

It uses a series of pixel based scores to generate a composite with the
*Best Available Pixel*, assuming it is the one that has better score.

Installation
------------

To use this package you must have installed and running Google Earth Engine
Python API: https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/python_install

Once you have that, proceed

::

pip install geebap

this will install also `geetools` that you could use besides `geebap`

Installation in DataLab
-----------------------

After following Option 1 or 2 in https://developers.google.com/earth-engine/python_install,
open a new notebook and write:

.. code:: python

import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install geebap

Available Collections
---------------------

Collections come from `geetools.collection`. For examples see:
https://github.com/gee-community/gee_tools/tree/master/notebooks/collection

Available Scores
----------------

- Satellite
- Distance to clouds and shadows masks
- Atmospheric Opacity
- Day of the year (best_doy)
- Masked pixels percentage
- Outliers
- Absolute value of a vegetation index

Available Indices
-----------------

- ndvi
- evi
- nbr

Some considerations
-------------------

- Sites size should not be too big. Works with 300 km2 tiles

Basic Usage
-----------

If you are using Jupyter, you can download a notebook from
https://github.com/fitoprincipe/geebap/blob/master/Best_Available_Pixel_Composite.ipynb

else, if you are using another approach, like Spyder, create an empty script and
paste the following code:

.. code:: python

import ee
ee.Initialize()

import geebap
from geetools import tools

import pprint
pp = pprint.PrettyPrinter(indent=2)

# SEASON
a_season = geebap.Season('11-15', '03-15')

# MASKS
cld_mask = geebap.masks.Mask()

# Combine masks in a tuple
masks = (cld_mask,)

# FILTERS
filt_cld = geebap.filters.CloudCover()
# filt_mask = geebap.filters.MaskCover() # Doesn't work

# Combine filters in a tuple
filters = (filt_cld,)#, filt_mask)

# SCORES
best_doy = geebap.scores.Doy('01-15', a_season)
sat = geebap.scores.Satellite()
out = geebap.scores.Outliers(("ndvi",))
ind = geebap.scores.Index("ndvi")
maskpercent = geebap.scores.MaskPercentKernel()
dist = geebap.scores.CloudDist()

# Combine scores in a tuple
scores = (
best_doy,
sat,
out,
ind,
maskpercent,
dist
)

# BAP OBJECT
BAP = geebap.Bap(range=(0, 0),
season=a_season,
masks=masks,
scores=scores,
filters=filters)

# SITE
site = ee.Geometry.Polygon([[-71.5,-42.5],
[-71.5,-43],
[-72,-43],
[-72,-42.5]])

# COMPOSITE
composite = BAP.build_composite_best(2019, site=site, indices=("ndvi",))

# `composite` is a ee.Image object, so you can do anything
# from here..
one_value = tools.image.getValue(composite,
site.centroid(),
30, 'client')
pp.pprint(one_value)

*Prints:*
