"### **Exercise: Create Labeled Training Data as a Shapefile in QGIS** \n",
"\n",
"Your task is to create a **shapefile** in QGIS containing labeled training data for satellite image classification. The shapefile must include an **attribute table** with the following variables: \n",
"\n",
"- **`id`** *(int)*: A unique identifier for each sample. \n",
"- **`label`** *(str)*: The class name (e.g., \"Water\", \"Forest\", \"Urban\"). \n",
"- **`labelID`** *(int)*: A numerical code corresponding to the class label. \n",
"\n",
"Use the [AcaTama plug-in](https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/AcATaMa/) to generate a random set of points inside your image. Use these points to draw the polygons.\n",
"\n",
"#### **Steps:** \n",
"\n",
"1. **Open QGIS and Load a Basemap:** \n",
" - Open QGIS and add a relevant satellite image or basemap as a reference. \n",
"\n",
"2. **Create a random sample of points using the AcaTama plug-in**\n",
" - Go to **Plugins**\n",
" - Open the AcaTama plugin (first install if needed)\n",
" - Select your clipped image as the thematic map\n",
" - Generate random points in the sampling design window\n",
"\n",
"2. **Create a New Shapefile Layer:** \n",
" - Go to **Layer** → **Create Layer** → **New Shapefile Layer**. \n",
" - Save the layer as **`in_situ.shp`** in the folder **`DATA/A_IN_SITU`** \n",
" - Select **\"Polygon\"** as the geometry type (or \"Point\" if appropriate). \n",
" - Set the **CRS (Coordinate Reference System)** to match your satellite image. \n",
"\n",
"3. **Create the following fields:**\n",
" - `id` (Integer) \n",
" - `label` (Text/String) \n",
" - `labelID` (Integer) \n",
"\n",
"4. **Digitize Training Samples:** \n",
" - Activate **Editing Mode** (click the pencil icon). \n",
" - Use the **\"Add Feature\"** tool to draw polygons (or points) over different land cover types. \n",
" - In the pop-up window, assign a **unique id, a class label, and a numerical labelID**. \n",
"\n",
"5. **Save and Export:** \n",
" - Stop editing and save changes. \n",
" - Ensure the shapefile is properly stored and named **`in_situ.shp`**. \n",
"\n",
"#### **Hints:** \n",
"\n",
"- Be consistent with labeling (e.g., `labelID = 1` for \"Water\", `labelID = 2` for \"Forest\", etc.). \n",
"- Ensure your samples cover a variety of land cover types to improve classification accuracy. \n",
"- You can later use this shapefile as ground truth data for supervised classification. \n",

"### **Task:** \n",
"\n",
"Write a Python script to load satellite image features stored as **GeoTIFF files** and save them as arrays for further processing. \n",
"\n",
"#### **Steps:** \n",
"\n",
"1. **Define a List of Features** \n",
" - Create a list named `features` with the feature names you want to load (e.g., `\"NDVI\"`, `\"EVI\"`). \n",
"\n",
"2. **Initialize an Empty List** \n",
" - Define `list_src_arr = []` to store raster arrays. \n",
"\n",
"3. **Search and Load Raster Files** \n",
" - Use `glob.glob()` to find `.tif` files for each feature. \n",
" - Adapt the search path according to your file structure. \n",
" - Open each file with `rasterio`, read band **1**, append it to `list_src_arr`, and close the file. \n",
"\n",
"4. **Print Summary** \n",
" - Print the shape of the last loaded feature and the total number of features stored. \n",
"\n",
"#### **Hints:** \n",
"\n",
"- Modify the search path in `glob.glob()` to match your dataset structure. \n",
"- You can easily extend the script by adding more features to `features`. \n",
