Build object-centric remote sensing computer vision datasets

GeoGrapher

GeoGrapher is a Python library for building remote sensing computer vision datasets starting from vector features (e.g. locations or georeferenced bounding boxes or segmentation maks). It connects the features and images by a bipartite graph that keeps track of the containment and intersection relations between them making it suited for object-centric tasks. GeoGrapher also provides highly general and customizable dataset cutting functionality as well as other utility functions.

Installation

This package has two external dependencies:

• Python 3.9 or newer.
• The geopandas and rasterio libraries might depend on GDAL base C libraries. See https://geopandas.org/en/stable/getting_started/install.html#dependencies and https://pypi.org/project/rasterio/ for instructions on installing these. On many Linux distros, you can use the the gdal-devel or libgdal-dev packages.

The package itself (and its Python dependencies) can be installed with

pip install GeoGrapher

Getting started

Read our our blogpost for an introduction to GeoGrapher, try out the tutorial notebooks in the notebooks directory, or read the documentation.

Development

To create a local dev installation, clone the repo, cd into the repo folder, and use the commands

python -m venv geographer-env
source geographer-env/bin/activate
make -B venv

to create a virtual environment, activate it, and create an editable local installation of the package and its dependencies.

Use the make format, make lint, make test, and make docs commands to format, lint, or test the code or to create the documentation locally.

To create the documentation locally, you will need to install the pandoc external dependency following the instructions here https://pandoc.org/installing.html.
