From GIS to Remote SensingThis post is about a new update of the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin v. 7.10.0.
Following the changelog:
-added option to Download products for downloading as virtual raster the portion of the image defined with search coordinates (for Landsat and Sentinel-2)
-Stack raster bands can now export virtual raster if output extension is .vrt
-in Batch the function create_bandset if the option date is 'auto' it tries to get the date of the image from the directory name
-in Band set list added button to sort Band sets by date if defined
-fixed Scatter plot
-fixed Band combination
-small fixes to Clip multiple rasters
In particular, the main new feature is the option "Virtual output" in the tab Download products, which allows to download Sentinel-2 and Landsat images as virtual file (i.e. a link to the download url), and also the ability to download only the portion of the image defined by search coordinates. This allows for downloading a subset of the original images reducing the download and processing time, in case the whole image is not needed.
Following a brief tutorial that illustrates this new feature.
