Raster Source

Demonstrates pixelwise operations with a raster source.

This example uses a ol.source.Raster to generate data based on another source. The raster source accepts any number of input sources (tile or image based) and runs a pipeline of operations on the input pixels. The return from the final operation is used as the data for the output source.

In this case, a single tiled source of imagery is used as input. For each pixel, the Vegetation Greenness Index (VGI) is calculated from the input pixels. A second operation colors those pixels based on a threshold value (values above the threshold are green and those below are transparent).
