28.1.15. Raster analysis

28.1.15.1. Cell stack percent rank from value

Calculates the cell-wise percentrank value of a stack of rasters based on a single input value and writes them to an output raster.

At each cell location, the specified value is ranked among the respective values in the stack of all overlaid and sorted cell values from the input rasters. For values outside of the stack value distribution, the algorithm returns NoData because the value cannot be ranked among the cell values.

There are two methods for percentile calculation:

• Inclusive linear interpolation (PERCENTRANK.INC)

• Exclusive linear interpolation (PERCENTRANK.EXC)

The linear interpolation methods return the unique percent rank for different values. Both interpolation methods follow their counterpart methods implemented by LibreOffice or Microsoft Excel.

The output raster’s extent and resolution is defined by a reference raster. Input raster layers that do not match the cell size of the reference raster layer will be resampled using nearest neighbor resampling. NoData values in any of the input layers will result in a NoData cell output if the “Ignore NoData values” parameter is not set. The output raster data type will always be Float32.

Fig. 28.19 Percent ranking Value = 1. NoData cells (grey) are ignored.

28.1.15.2. Cell stack percentile

Calculates the cell-wise percentile value of a stack of rasters and writes the results to an output raster. The percentile to return is determined by the percentile input value (ranges between 0 and 1). At each cell location, the specified percentile is obtained using the respective value from the stack of all overlaid and sorted cell values of the input rasters.

There are three methods for percentile calculation:

• Nearest rank: returns the value that is nearest to the specified percentile

• Inclusive linear interpolation (PERCENTRANK.INC)

• Exclusive linear interpolation (PERCENTRANK.EXC)

The linear interpolation methods return the unique values for different percentiles. Both interpolation methods follow their counterpart methods implemented by LibreOffice or Microsoft Excel.

The output raster’s extent and resolution is defined by a reference raster. Input raster layers that do not match the cell size of the reference raster layer will be resampled using nearest neighbor resampling. NoData values in any of the input layers will result in a NoData cell output if the “Ignore NoData values” parameter is not set. The output raster data type will always be Float32.

28.1.15.3. Cell stack percentrank from raster layer

Calculates the cell-wise percentrank value of a stack of rasters based on an input value raster and writes them to an output raster.

At each cell location, the current value of the value raster is ranked among the respective values in the stack of all overlaid and sorted cell values of the input rasters. For values outside of the the stack value distribution, the algorithm returns NoData because the value cannot be ranked among the cell values.

There are two methods for percentile calculation:

• Inclusive linear interpolation (PERCENTRANK.INC)

• Exclusive linear interpolation (PERCENTRANK.EXC)

The linear interpolation methods return the unique values for different percentiles. Both interpolation methods follow their counterpart methods implemented by LibreOffice or Microsoft Excel.

NoData values in any of the input layers will result in a NoData cell output if the “Ignore NoData values” parameter is not set. The output raster data type will always be Float32.

28.1.15.4. Cell statistics

Computes per-cell statistics based on input raster layers and for each cell writes the resulting statistics to an output raster. At each cell location, the output value is defined as a function of all overlaid cell values of the input rasters.

By default, a NoData cell in ANY of the input layers will result in a NoData cell in the output raster. If the Ignore NoData values option is checked, then NoData inputs will be ignored in the statistic calculation. This may result in NoData output for locations where all cells are NoData.

The Reference layer parameter specifies an existing raster layer to use as a reference when creating the output raster. The output raster will have the same extent, CRS, and pixel dimensions as this layer.

Calculation details: Input raster layers that do not match the cell size of the reference raster layer will be resampled using nearest neighbor resampling. The output raster data type will be set to the most complex data type present in the input datasets except when using the functions Mean, Standard deviation and Variance (data type is always Float32 or Float64 depending on input float type) or Count and Variety (data type is always Int32).

• Count: The count statistic will always result in the number of cells without NoData values at the current cell location.

• Median: If the number of input layers is even, the median will be calculated as the arithmetic mean of the two middle values of the ordered cell input values.

• Minority/Majority: If no unique minority or majority could be found, the result is NoData, except all input cell values are equal.

Fig. 28.22 Example with all the statistic functions. NoData cells (grey) are taken into account.

28.1.15.5. Equal to frequency

Evaluates on a cell-by-cell basis the frequency (number of times) the values of an input stack of rasters are equal to the value of a value layer. The output raster extent and resolution are defined by the input raster layer and is always of Int32 type.

If multiband rasters are used in the data raster stack, the algorithm will always perform the analysis on the first band of the rasters - use GDAL to use other bands in the analysis. The output NoData value can be set manually.

Fig. 28.23 For each cell in the output raster, the value represents the number of times that the corresponding cells in the list of rasters are the same as the value raster. NoData cells (grey) are taken into account.

28.1.15.12. Greater than frequency

Evaluates on a cell-by-cell basis the frequency (number of times) the values of an input stack of rasters are equal to the value of a value raster. The output raster extent and resolution is defined by the input raster layer and is always of Int32 type.

If multiband rasters are used in the data raster stack, the algorithm will always perform the analysis on the first band of the rasters - use GDAL to use other bands in the analysis. The output NoData value can be set manually.

Fig. 28.25 For each cell in the output raster, the value represents the number of times that the corresponding cells in the list of rasters are greater than the value raster. NoData cells (grey) are taken into account.

Performs algebraic operations using raster layers and generates in-memory result.

The resulting layer will have its values computed according to an expression. The expression can contain numerical values, operators and references to any of the layers in the current project.

A virtual raster layer is a raster layer defined by its URI and whose pixels are calculated on-the-fly. It’s not a new file on disk; the virtual layer is still connected to the rasters used in the calculation meaning that deleting or moving these rasters would break it. A Layer name can be provided, otherwise the calculation expression is used as such. Removing the virtual layer from the project deletes it, and it can be made persistent in file using the layer Export ► Save as… contextual menu.

28.1.15.27. Rescale raster

Rescales raster layer to a new value range, while preserving the shape (distribution) of the raster’s histogram (pixel values). Input values are mapped using a linear interpolation from the source raster’s minimum and maximum pixel values to the destination minimum and miximum pixel range.

By default the algorithm preserves the original NoData value, but there is an option to override it.

28.1.15.28. Round raster

Rounds the cell values of a raster dataset according to the specified number of decimals.

Alternatively, a negative number of decimal places may be used to round values to powers of a base n. For example, with a Base value n of 10 and Decimal places of -1, the algorithm rounds cell values to multiples of 10, -2 rounds to multiples of 100, and so on. Arbitrary base values may be chosen, the algorithm applies the same multiplicative principle. Rounding cell values to multiples of a base n may be used to generalize raster layers.

The algorithm preserves the data type of the input raster. Therefore byte/integer rasters can only be rounded to multiples of a base n, otherwise a warning is raised and the raster gets copied as byte/integer raster.
