Area of interest¶
Asset reference
Concept¶
An area of interest (AOI) defines where on Earth coverage and region-based studies should focus: countries, global layer sets, and/or custom polygons.
Coverage does not invent geography by itself — Continuous/Discrete/Static modes evaluate acquirers against an AOI type (global, lat-lon box, or selected AOI assets). Design AOIs to match the operational question (a country, a theater, a coastal strip) before refining grid resolution.
Parameters¶
| Parameter | Type | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | text | — | |
| Active | checkbox | — | |
| Color | color | #00FF00 |
|
| Description | text | — | |
| Global Layers | checkbox list | from backend globalTypes |
Dynamic catalogue |
| Countries | searchable grouped checkboxes | seed often includes Spain |
Grouped by continent; Deselect all |
| Polygons JSON | textarea | — | Rings as [[lon,lat],…]; invalid JSON ignored while typing |
How Coverage uses AOIs¶
When Coverage AOI type = Area of Interest, you multi-select AOI assets via selected_aoi_guids.
Example¶
- Create AOI
EU-DEMO. - Select countries of interest (or paste polygons).
- Point a Coverage analysis at this AOI with Continuous type and Balanced mode.
Area of interest — countries, global layers, and polygons.
