Introduction

nf-core/rangeland is a geographical best-practice analysis pipeline for remotely sensed imagery. The pipeline processes satellite imagery alongside auxiliary data in multiple steps to arrive at a set of trend files related to land-cover changes. The main pipeline steps are:

  1. Read satellite imagery, digital elevation model, endmember definition, water vapor database and area of interest definition

  2. Generate allow list and analysis mask to determine which pixels from the satellite data can be used

  3. Preprocess data to obtain atmospherically corrected images alongside quality assurance information

  4. Classify pixels by applying linear spectral unmixing

  5. Time series analyses to obtain trends in vegetation dynamics

  6. Create mosaic and pyramid visualizations of the results

  7. Read QC (FastQC)

  8. Present QC for raw reads (MultiQC)

Usage

:::note If you are new to Nextflow and nf-core, please refer to this page on how to set-up Nextflow. Make sure to test your setup with -profile test before running the workflow on actual data. :::

To run the pipeline on real data, input data needs to be acquired. Concretely, satellite imagery, water vapor data, a digital elevation model, endmember definitions, a datacube specification, and a area-of-interest specification are required. Please refer to the usage documentation for details on the input structure.

Now, you can run the pipeline using:

nextflow run nf-core/rangeland/main.nf \
   -profile <docker/singularity/.../institute> \
   --input <SATELLITE IMAGES> \
   --dem <DIGITAL ELEVATION MODEL> \
   --wvdb <WATER VAPOR DATA> \
   --data_cube <DATA CUBE> \
   --aoi <AREA OF INTEREST> \
   --endmember <ENDMEMBER SPECIFICATION> \
   --outdir <OUTDIR>

:::warning Please provide pipeline parameters via the CLI or Nextflow -params-file option. Custom config files including those provided by the -c Nextflow option can be used to provide any configuration except for parameters; see docs. :::

For more details and further functionality, please refer to the usage documentation and the parameter documentation.

Pipeline output

To see the results of an example test run with a full size dataset refer to the results tab on the nf-core website pipeline page. For more details about the output files and reports, please refer to the output documentation.
