Add getArgusPixelIntensity wrapper for extracting pixel values from Argus imagery by Copilot · Pull Request #42 · SBFRF/murgtools

Copilot · 2026-02-02T02:54:03Z

Implementation Complete: Argus Pixel Intensity Wrapper

✅ All tasks completed successfully

Implementation Summary

Added getArgusPixelIntensity function to extract pixel intensity values from Argus imagery at specified locations.

Key Features Implemented

✅ Flexible coordinate system support:
- Pixel coordinates (i, j)
- FRF local coordinates (xFRF, yFRF)
- Geographic coordinates (lon, lat)
- NC State Plane coordinates (easting_sp, northing_sp)
- Dictionary or tuple input formats
- Slice support for transects (e.g., (slice(None), 500) for full cross-shore at yFRF=500)
✅ Multiple image types: timex, var, snap, bright, dark (documented in docstring)
✅ Channel selection: red, green, blue, grayscale (luminance formula), or all RGB
✅ Batch processing: handles multiple times efficiently
✅ Gap handling: returns timestamps with values, tracks missing times
✅ Automatic coordinate transformation using GeoTIFF metadata
✅ Returns imageType field in output dictionary
✅ Optimized performance: GeoTIFF downloaded only once per function call

Code Quality Improvements (Latest)

✅ Accurate grayscale documentation (weighted luminance formula)
✅ Removed unused imports
✅ Proper variable initialization (lon, lat, easting_sp, northing_sp)
✅ Enhanced coordType validation with early error detection
✅ Performance optimization: Coordinate transformation computed once and reused across all time steps
✅ Clear variable naming: State Plane coordinates explicitly named (easting_sp, northing_sp)
✅ Simplified examples: Removed extraneous example functions
✅ All 54 tests passing

Testing

10 comprehensive unit tests added and passing
All 54 existing tests continue to pass
Test coverage includes all coordinate systems, channels, and edge cases

Documentation

✅ Enhanced docstring with accurate descriptions and specific variable names
✅ Markdown documentation file (docs/getArgusPixelIntensity.md)
✅ Simplified example script (examples/argus_pixel_intensity_example.py) - single focused example

Files Modified

murgtools/getdata/getDataFRF.py: Enhanced with performance optimizations, clear variable naming
examples/argus_pixel_intensity_example.py: Simplified to single example, removed unused functions

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>add wraper around get_argus_data to get image intensity at location</issue_title>
<issue_description>write wrapper that uses get_argus_data call function, but will pull a pixel intensity from the image. Make it easy to do so over a lot of different images/times (and types bright, dark, timex, var etc.) </issue_description>

<agent_instructions>make sure call is flexible to be provided by pixel location, or geographic coordinate location (e.g. xFRF/yFRF, or lon/lat, etc.). if there are gaps in the argus imagery, make sure time stamps are returned with pixel values and they are not assumed. </agent_instructions>

Returns dict with time, epochtime, intensity, location, missing_times

Let's add a field so we know what image type it came from eg bright, timed, var. etc.

update example script to only run example_frf_coordinates() . the others are extraneous.

- Move tempfile, requests, tifffile imports to global scope - Delete extraneous path/to/your/function/file.py - Update example script to only run example_frf_coordinates() - Add slice support for location parameter (transects) - List available imageType options in docstring - Update docstring with slice examples - All tests passing Co-authored-by: SBFRF <8375832+SBFRF@users.noreply.github.com>

Pull request overview

This PR adds a new getArgusPixelIntensity function that extracts pixel intensity values from Argus imagery at specified locations across time series. The implementation wraps the existing getArgusImagery function to provide flexible coordinate system support, batch processing over multiple times, and proper handling of missing imagery data.

Changes:

New getArgusPixelIntensity function with support for pixel, FRF, geographic, and State Plane coordinate systems
Coordinate transformation logic using GeoTIFF metadata tags for accurate pixel mapping
Channel selection capabilities (individual RGB channels, grayscale, or all channels)
Comprehensive test suite with 10 unit tests covering various coordinate systems and edge cases
Example script and documentation

Returns dict with time, epochtime, intensity, location, missing_times

Let's add a field so we know what image type it came from eg bright, timed, var. etc.

The imageType field is already included in the returned dictionary (line 3932 in getDataFRF.py). The function returns a dict with keys: 'time', 'epochtime', 'intensity', 'location', 'imageType', and 'missing_times'.
