Automatically selects the newest suitable CBERS-4A/WPM scene for a chosen area using spatial coverage and potential cloudiness thresholds.
CBERS AutoSelect queries the INPE STAC catalog backwards in time to automatically select the most recent suitable CBERS-4A/WPM scene for a polygon area of interest. Users choose a minimum coverage percentage, a maximum potential cloudiness percentage, and an output product (2 m PCA-fused RGB or 8 m multispectral RGB). The experimental cloud screening uses raw WPM Level-4 B, G, R and NIR values; bright surfaces may cause false positives. A network connection and QGIS's bundled Python, NumPy and GDAL libraries are required. Processing is limited to 40 million pixels per internal grid. The interface supports English and Brazilian Portuguese based on QGIS language settings. The selected product keeps its original STAC identifier in the QGIS Layers panel. This is an experimental research plugin, not an official INPE product.
