Hi everybody

maybe someone on this list has some experience using numpy in combination with GDAL/Python and could give me some advice.

I wanted to try to use GDAL/Python/numpy to caculate the difference between 2 images. The images are vegetation indexes for different dates. The direct difference can be easily calculated after reading both images into an array and substract one from the other.

The problem is that both images can contain clouds or snow that have predefined pixel values (252,253). And I of course would like to exclude these parts in both images from the calculation because they would cause wrong results. So I wanted to mask the non wanted areas.

Does anybody know if this is possible and how to perform it? Looking through the numpy docs I was not able to identify required methods or functions for this. There is something like 'masked arrays' but I have not understood if this could be used for my purpose.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Best regards, Armin
