read_uint8_array# read_uint8_array(bit_mask: Union[DataArray, ndarray], bit_id: Union[list, int]) → Union[ndarray, list][source]# Read 8 bit arrays as a succession of binary masks. Forces array to np.uint8. See read_bit_array. Parameters: bit_mask (np.ndarray) – Bit array to read bit_id (int) – Bit ID of the slice to be read Example: read the bit 0 of the mask as a cloud mask (Theia) Returns: Binary mask or list of binary masks if a list of bit_id is given Return type: Union[np.ndarray, list]
