# Core-S1RTC

Contains a global coverage of Sentinel-1 (RTC) patches, each of size 1,068 x 1,068 pixels.

| Source | Sensing Type | Number of Patches | Patch Size | Total Pixels |
|--------|--------------|-------------------|------------|--------------|
|Sentinel-1 RTC | Synthetic Aperture Radar |1,469,955|1,068 x 1,068 (10 m) | > 1.676 Trillion |

## Content

| Column | Details | Resolution |
|--------|---------|------------|
| VV | Received Linear Power in the VV Polarization | 10m | 
| VH | Received Linear Power in the VV Polarization | 10m | 
| thumbnail | RGB composite [B04, B03, B02] saved as png | 10m | 

## Spatial Coverage
This is a global monotemporal dataset. Nearly every piece of Earth captured by Sentinel-1 is contained at least once in this dataset (and only once, excluding some marginal overlaps). The coverage is about 35% lower than for Core Sentinel-2 dataset due to the sensor coverage limitations.

## Example Use

Interface scripts are available at https://github.com/ESA-PhiLab/Major-TOM

Here's a sneak peek with a thumbnail image:
```python
from fsspec.parquet import open_parquet_file
import pyarrow.parquet as pq
from io import BytesIO
from PIL import Image

PARQUET_FILE = 'part_03900' # parquet number
ROW_INDEX = 42 # row number (about 500 per parquet)

url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/Major-TOM/Core-S1RTC/resolve/main/images/{}.parquet".format(PARQUET_FILE)
with open_parquet_file(url,columns = ["thumbnail"]) as f:
    with pq.ParquetFile(f) as pf:
        first_row_group = pf.read_row_group(ROW_INDEX, columns=['thumbnail'])

stream = BytesIO(first_row_group['thumbnail'][0].as_py())
image = Image.open(stream)
```
