get_extent(xds: str | CloudPath | Path | tuple[ndarray | MaskedArray, dict] | DataArray | Dataset | DatasetReader | DatasetWriter) → GeoDataFrame[source]#

Get the extent of a raster as a geopandas.Geodataframe.

Parameters:

xds (AnyRasterType) – Path to the raster or a rasterio dataset or a xarray

Returns:

Extent as a geopandas.Geodataframe

Return type:

gpd.GeoDataFrame

Example

>>> raster_path = "path/to/raster.tif"
>>>
>>> extent1 = get_extent(raster_path)
>>>
>>> # or
>>> with rasterio.open(raster_path) as ds:
>>>     extent2 = get_extent(ds)
>>>
>>> # Assert those two approaches give the same result
>>> extent1 == extent2
True
