The objective of the project is to develop a prototype application to modify land cover or spectral indices raster layers based on vector masks to simulate changes due e.g. to new construction sites or reforestation in urban contexts. The final goal is to provide a geospatial data manipulation model (including documentation on the procedure to generate input vector data) with a simplified interface which will serve as a demonstrator module in an Urban Digital Twin platform for Urban Heat Island analysis.
