The dataset is divided into four distinct subsets sourced from Satellogic, Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and NEON imagers, each providing unique data. The dataset is also available in [AWS Open Data registry](https://satellogic-earthview.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/index.html). And you can play and [navigate Satellogic's dataset in this Colab notebook. ![Colab](https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg)](https://colab.sandbox.google.com/github/satellogic/satellogic-earthview/blob/main/satellogic_earthview_exploration.ipynb) ## Dataset Viewer Check the [EarthView Dataset Viewer](https://huggingface.co/spaces/satellogic/EarthView-Viewer) and [it's code](https://huggingface.co/spaces/satellogic/EarthView-Viewer/tree/main) for examples on how to access the images and navigate the dataset.

Each source (satellite type) has different characteristics, so the details for the samples in each of the subsets are subtly different. We provide a very simple library to access the images in the subsets. ## Available Subsets | Name | Samples | Unique locations | Products | Image Resolution | |--|--|--|--|--| | Satellogic | ~6 million | ~3 million | RGB | 1m | | | | | NIR (Near Infrared) | 1m | Neon | ~1 million | ~0.3 million | RGB | 0.1m | | | | | Canopy Height Model (Lidar)| 1m | | | | Hyperspectral (369 bands) | 1m | Sentinel-1 | ~5.2 million | ~1 million | SAR (mapped to RGB) | 10m (from 20m) | Sentinel-2 | ~10 million | ~1 million | RGB | 10m | | | | NIR | 10m | | | | NIR / Red Edge / SWIR | 20m | | | | Scene Classification Layer | 20m | | | | Coastal-Aerosol / Water Vapour / Cirrus | 40 (from 60m) ## Data Format Each subset has some peculiarities and a specific data format in the dataset. Each item (sample) in the dataset is a dictionary with a `metadata` field and one or more entries for the different image products available, such as `rgb`, `chm`, `1m`, `10m` (see below). All of the image fields are 4D arrays where dimensions are REVISITS, BANDS, HEIGHT, WIDTH. We encourage you to use the supplied [`earthview` library](https://huggingface.co/spaces/satellogic/EarthView-Viewer/blob/main/earthview.py) to simplify accessing the dataset, metadata and images. (For now, download the single python file and place in the same directory as your scripts, or in Python's path) Bellow you'll find details for each subset ### Satellogic #### Metadata | key | description | |--|--| | `bounds` | [x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max] (bottom-left corner and top-right corner coordinates in (easting, northing) format, WGS 84 / UTM). | | `[178191.0, 8248444.0, 178575.0, 8248828.0]` | `crs` | EPSG code | | `['EPSG:32723']` | `timestamp` | list of timestamps corresponding to the capture dates (only date is valid) | | `['2022-07-21T00:00:00']` | | `['2022-07-21T00:00:00', '2022-07-25T00:00:00']` |`count` | Number of re-visits for the location (not present in the dataset, generated by `items_to_images()`) | | 2 #### Images Satellogic images are captured with Satellogic's MarkIV satellite fleet. The payload produces RGB and NIR images at 1m native resolution (no PAN sharpening). Each sample in the dataset has 1 or 2 re-visits per location. | key | Product | Image Resolution | Size (pixels) | Bands | Re-samples | Data type | |--|--|--|--|--|--|--| | rgb | RGB | 1m | 384 x 384 | 3 | 1 or 2 | uint8 | | 1m | NIR | 1m | 384 x 384 | 1 | 1 or 2 | uint8 | Note: Despite data type being stored in uint64, values range between 0 and 255 (uint8). #### Example (Jupyter Notebook)
```python import numpy as np import earthview as ev data = ev.load_dataset("satellogic", shards=[10]) # shard is optional sample = next(iter(data)) print(sample.keys()) print(np.array(sample['rgb']).shape) # RGB Data print(np.array(sample['1m']).shape) # NIR Data ```

The data (imagery) produced has two channels, for vertical and horizontal polarization. The data in the dataset contains just the two channels, the images returned by `item_to_images()` implements a [standard mapping](https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/400726/creating-composite-rgb-images-from-sentinel-1-channels) to return RGB images. (see the example below). Samples in the dataset contain varied numbers of re-visits per location. | key | Product | Image Resolution | Size (pixels) | Bands | Re-samples | Data type | |--|--|--|--|--|--|--| | 10m | RGB | 10m | 384 x 384 | 3 | 1 or more | uint8 | Note: Despite data type being stored in uint64, values range between 0 and 255 (uint8). #### Example (Jupyter Notebook)

![Sentinel-1 RGB](sentinel_1-0.png) ![Sentinel-1 RGB](sentinel_1-1.png) ### Neon In the dataset, the subset/configuration for NEON is called `default`, but when using the earthview library you should call it `neon`. #### Metadata | key | description | |--|--| | `bounds` | [x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max] (bottom-left corner and top-right corner coordinates in (easting, northing). | | `[-82.04138011662944, 29.634596313943526, -82.04071312100113, 29.635179014437973]` | `epsg` | EPSG code | | `'EPSG:32617'` (this is an error, coordinates are actually `'ESPG:4326'`, the library (earthview) solves it) | `timestamp` | list of timestamps corresponding to the capture dates (only date is valid) | | `['2018-01-01T00:00:00', '2019-01-01T00:00:00', '2021-01-01T00:00:00']` | `siteID` | `'OSBS'` for Ordway-Swisher Biological Station |`count` | Number of re-visits for the location (not present in the dataset, generated by `items_to_images()`) | | 3 #### Images The NEON subset is composed of very high resolution RGB images at 0.1m, 1m hyperspectral data (369 bands), and 1m Canopy Height Model out of a LIDAR sensor.

Please, don't use it for anything else than an example. Note that images were stored in uint64, although values range between 0 and 255 (uint8). #### Example (Jupyter Notebook)
