Calculating Coverage Percentage of the AOI by an Item

This notebook demonstrates the use of pystac-client to calculate the percentage an Item’s geometry that intesects with the area of interest (AOI) specified in the search by the intersects parameter.

Matplotlib is building the font cache; this may take a moment.

def intersection_percent(item: Item, aoi: Dict[str, Any]) -> float:

    completely covers the AOI has a value of 100.
