How to use
----------

geo-rasterizer can be used to create rasters based on a geodataframe that
correspond to a given reference image. The shapes from the geodataframe will be
projected to a raster of the same size as the reference image. geo-rasteriser
supports a single class for each pixel, and will encode the rasterized shapes as
one-hot vector, or as a densely encoded int with an index for each class.

To use geo-rasterizer you need a geodataframe that holds shapes, and a corresponding
geotif as reference.

For example we're using the ``test_df.gpkg`` and ``test_geotif`` from the ``test_data``
folder of the repository.

The content of the test_df.gpkg looks like this:

.. code::

     label                                           geometry
  0     r1  POLYGON ((126200.432 425991.321, 126200.901 42...
  1      a  POLYGON ((185960.739 442590.177, 185962.729 44...
  2     g1  POLYGON ((185853.845 442658.306, 185858.166 44...
  ...
  10    k4  POLYGON ((182581.756 441482.010, 182579.714 44...

Importantly, it contains a "geometry" column with polygons, and a "label" column
which contains the corresponding label for each polygon.

The test_geotif.tif file contains a georeferenced geotif which is located in the same
area as polygons in the geodataframe. It looks like this:

To create a raster that corresponds to the classes in the geodataframe we can use
geo_rasterizer.rasterize_multilabel

.. code:: python3

    import geo_rasterizer
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    gpkg_path = "/path/to/repo/test_data/test_df.gpkg"
    ref_path = "/path/to/repo/test_data/test_geotif.tif"

    raster = geo_rasterizer.rasterize_multilabel(
        gpkg=gpkg_path,
        reference_image=ref_path,
        class_column="label",
        classes=["r1", "a", "g1", "g6", "k4"],
        include_background_class=True,
        dense=True,
    )

    plt.imshow(raster.squeeze())
    plt.show()

This results in the following image:

|

Since the labels are encoded as integers from 0 ... n for n classes (with 0 as
background), the colors that matplotlib will give to each class is not consistent or
visually pleasing. geo_rasterizer provides a function to create an rgb image based on
the densely encoded class indices, which takes into account the total number of
classes, which keeps class colors consistent between different images, even if not
all images contain all classes. Additionally, an alpha-channel is optionally added to
make the background class transparent. To use this function on the previous output:

.. code:: python3

    rgb_raster = geo_rasterizer.dense_rasters_to_rgb(
        raster=raster,
        num_classes=5,
        alpha=True,
        cmap="tab10",
    )
    # transpose to channels last for plotting with matplotlib
    plt.imshow(rgb_raster.transpose((1,2,0)))
    plt.show()

.. image:: https://gitlab.com/rwsdatalab/public/codebase/image/geo-rasterizer/-/raw/main/doc/figs/img_rgb_rasters.png

|

If you would like to save this raster as georeferenced geotif itself, for example: to
compare the labels to different map layers in qgis, you can use geo_rasterizer to
save the raster as a geotif with the same geo-meta-data as the reference image:

.. code:: python3

    rasters_to_geotif(
        raster=rgb_raster,
        reference=ref_path,
        output="/path/to/labels_georeferenced.tif,
    )

The resulting file in ``/path/to/labels_georeferenced.tif`` can for example be
compared to open street map in qgis.

**Batch rasterization**

It is also possible to rasterize a geodataframe with an entire batch of reference images. This will create one geotiff
correspond to a reference image for each reference image in the batch.

to rasterize over a batch of reference images we can use *rasterize_batch*.

.. code:: python3

    import geo_rasterizer
    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

    gpkg_path = "/path/to/repo/test_data/test_df.gpkg"
    ref_path = "/path/to/repo/test_data/batch"
    output_path = "/path/to/repo/output"

    geo_rasterizer.rasterize_batch(
        gpkg=gpkg_path,
        reference_images_folder=ref_path,
        class_column="FI_CODE",
        classes=["r1", "r2", "a", "g1", "g6", "k4", "b1"],
        include_background_class=True,
        dense=True,
        prefix = "rasterized",
        output = output_path
    )

This wil create an 'output' folder inside the repo which contains two tifs, one for each reference image inside the
reference_image_folder. The naming convention of the output files is <prefix> + "_" + filename_of_reference_image.
