Thank you for providing a complete example of your code and the ArcMap error message. Without those details, it can be hard to provide help.

When you open the files for writing, there is one thing missing: the *transform* keyword argument that determines the spatial extent of the dataset. I think that in your case, you will have success if you copy the value from the source datasets:

filename = "20180308_133037_1024_3B_AnalyticMS.tif"

# Copy the transform and crs objects from the source dataset.

with rasterio.open(filename) as src:

    dst_transform = src.transform

    dst_crs = src.crs

# Pass the copied values to rasterio.open().

new_dataset = rasterio.open(

       'ReflectanceB1.tif',

       'w',

       driver='GTiff',

       height=band_blue_reflectance.shape[0],

       width=band_blue_reflectance.shape[1],

       count=1,

       dtype=band_blue_reflectance.dtype,

       crs=dst_crs,

       transform=dst_transform

)    

    

new_dataset.write(band_blue_reflectance, 1)

new_dataset.close()

After following the steps in the tutorial of the Planet website (https://developers.planet.com/tutorials/convert-planetscope-imagery-from-radiance-to-reflectance/), I want to save each individual band of a RapidEye image Level 3B as a separate GeoTIFF layer file to be able to open it in any other GIS-software such as QGIS, ArcGIS other. I could not succeed in saving each band separately as GeoTIFF layer file. Here is the code:

 

```

#!/usr/bin/env python

# coding: utf-8

 

import rasterio

import numpy as np

 

filename = "20180308_133037_1024_3B_AnalyticMS.tif"

 

# Load red and NIR bands - note all PlanetScope 4-band images have band order BGRN

with rasterio.open(filename) as src:

    band_blue_radiance = src.read(1)

    

with rasterio.open(filename) as src:

    band_green_radiance = src.read(2)

 

with rasterio.open(filename) as src:

    band_red_radiance = src.read(3)

 

with rasterio.open(filename) as src:

    band_nir_radiance = src.read(4)

 

from xml.dom import minidom

 

xmldoc = minidom.parse("20180308_133037_1024_3B_AnalyticMS_metadata.xml")

nodes = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName("ps:bandSpecificMetadata")

 

# XML parser refers to bands by numbers 1-4

coeffs = {}

for node in nodes:

    bn = node.getElementsByTagName("ps:bandNumber")[0].firstChild.data

    if bn in ['1', '2', '3', '4']:

        i = int(bn)

        value = node.getElementsByTagName("ps:reflectanceCoefficient")[0].firstChild.data

        coeffs[i] = float(value)

 

print "Conversion coefficients:", coeffs

 

# Multiply the Digital Number (DN) values in each band by the TOA reflectance coefficients

band_blue_reflectance = band_blue_radiance * coeffs[1]

band_green_reflectance = band_green_radiance * coeffs[2]

band_red_reflectance = band_red_radiance * coeffs[3]

band_nir_reflectance = band_nir_radiance * coeffs[4]

 

import numpy as np

print "Red band radiance is from {} to {}".format(np.amin(band_red_radiance), np.amax(band_red_radiance))

print "Red band reflectance is from {} to {}".format(np.amin(band_red_reflectance), np.amax(band_red_reflectance))

 

print "Before Scaling, red band reflectance is from {} to {}".format(np.amin(band_red_reflectance), np.amax(band_red_reflectance))

 

# Here we include a fixed scaling factor. This is common practice.

scale = 10000

blue_ref_scaled = scale * band_blue_reflectance

green_ref_scaled = scale * band_green_reflectance

red_ref_scaled = scale * band_red_reflectance

nir_ref_scaled = scale * band_nir_reflectance

 

print "After Scaling, red band reflectance is from {} to {}".format(np.amin(red_ref_scaled), np.amax(red_ref_scaled))

```

Here I tried unsuccessfully to save each individual band as GeotiFF file.

 

I have tried, any idea how to do the save of each band correctly to further open in QGIS orArGIS for calculating NDVI there?

 

```

dst_crs='EPSG:32720'

 

##  saving bands individualy  

new_dataset = rasterio.open(

       'ReflectanceB1.tif',

       'w',

       driver='GTiff',

       height=band_blue_reflectance.shape[0],

       width=band_blue_reflectance.shape[1],

       count=1,

       dtype=band_blue_reflectance.dtype,

       crs=dst_crs,

)    

    

new_dataset.write(band_blue_reflectance, 1)

new_dataset.close()

   

   

new_dataset = rasterio.open(

       'ReflectanceB2.tif',

       'w',

       driver='GTiff',

       height=band_red_reflectance.shape[0],

       count=1,

       dtype=band_red_reflectance.dtype,

new_dataset.write(band_red_reflectance, 1)

new_dataset.close()

 

new_dataset = rasterio.open(

       'ReflectanceB3.tif',

       driver='GTiff',

       height=band_red_reflectance.shape[0],

new_dataset.write(band_red_reflectance, 1)

new_dataset.close()    

 

 

new_dataset = rasterio.open(

       'ReflectanceB4.tif',

       'w',

       driver='GTiff',

       height=band_red_reflectance.shape[0],

       width=band_red_reflectance.shape[1],

       count=1,

       dtype=band_red_reflectance.dtype,

I'm using as input image "20180308_133037_1024_3B_AnalyticMS.tif" instead of "20180308_133037_1024_3B_AnalyticMS_SR.tif" don't know if is the problem

 

I'm getting resulting GeoTIFF file but when I open it in ArcMap I get this error

 

The GeoTIFF band are there and can be seen at ArcMap screen...   but the error appear anyway... might be related to coordinate systems to be defined possibly while saving in rasterio? And need to have it correctly projected for clipping with shapefiles.
