Problem with minimun and maximum value of raster

I have a problem with maximum and minimum value of raster. I have a script (on screenshot, and attached) that calculates NDVI.

 

Firstly I use RasterExpressionEvaluator to count NDVI, and then RasterBandMaxMinExtractor to extract max and min (I need those for further calculation). The maximum and minimum I get are different then maximum and minimum in QGIS for the same raster file.

 

I checked raster before I run RasterExpressionEvaluator, and minimums, and maximums of bands are the same in FME, and QGIS, so I think the issue might be with the RasterExpressionEvaluator, but I am not sure.

 

Has anyone has idea how to get this issue right? I need proper max and min value for normalization of NDVI, and I can see that results I get with this max and min value are wrong.

Hi @marta,

What are the min/max values produced by FME and QGIS, for comparison?

Hi @daveatsafe

 

FME says:

 

_band{0}.max (string): 0.6461538461538462

 

_band{0}.min (string): -0.4368932038834951

 

QGIS says:

 

Maximum:0.346939

 

Minimum:-0.283019

 

 

The difference is too big, and when I use max/min from FME to normalize (change the range to -1,1) the raster the output is terrible.

 

Thanks for quick reply!

Hi @marta, no idea what your source image is, but as far as i used them before the bands of a three-band CIR color-infrared images are in order: near infrared, red and green. So could it be your expression should be (A[0]-A[1])/(A[0]+A[1])?

And for your interest: there's a NDVI custom transformer in the hub I used before with satisfaction, maybe you could check the results with that transformer too?

Thanks @becchr for answer. I changed the bands, and used this NDVI custom transformer, but still has the same problem. I get raster from FME, and FME says max is about 0.68, min -0.44, and GQIS max about 0.65, and min -0.22

Hi @marta,

I tested your workspace with a sample image and QGIS 3.4, but was not able to reproduce the problem. Would you be able to share a sample of your source imagery with me? If you don't want to make it public, you can send it to me directly:
