This page gives a detailed description of the openEO proof of concept use cases. After the proof of concept, this stays in the API to have some basic examples. The proof of concept covered three clearly defined example use cases and how they are translated to sequences of API calls:
Note: CORS and authentication is not included in these examples for simplicity. Repeating calls are also not included as it would not make much sense to list the same discovery requests (see Use Case 1, requests 1 to 6) for each use case individually.
# Use Case 1Deriving minimum NDVI measurements over pixel time series of Sentinel 2 imagery.
A similar example (computing an EVI) is also available. (opens new window)
