georeader-spaceml 2.0.0

🛰️ Process raster data in python

georeader

georeader is a Python package for processing raster data from different satellite missions. It provides a unified interface for reading, manipulating, and saving geospatial raster data with a focus on machine learning workflows.

georeader is mainly used to process satellite data for scientific usage, to create ML-ready datasets and to implement end-to-end operational inference pipelines (e.g. the Kherson Dam Break floodmap). See georeader concepts and protocols for basic concepts and API.

Quick Start

Read a Sentinel-2 image from cloud storage

Read from a Sentinel-2 image a fixed size subimage on an specific lon,lat location:

from georeader.rasterio_reader import RasterioReader
from georeader import read

# S2 image from WorldFloodsv2 dataset
s2url = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/isp-uv-es/WorldFloodsv2/resolve/main/test/S2/EMSR264_18MIANDRIVAZODETAIL_DEL_v2.tif"
rst = RasterioReader(s2url)

# lazy loading bands
rst_rgb = rst.isel({"band": [3, 2, 1]}) # 1-based list as in rasterio

cords_read = (45.43, -19.53) # long, lat
crs_cords = "EPSG:4326"

# See also read.read_from_bounds, read.read_from_polygon for different ways of croping an image
data = read.read_from_center_coords(rst_rgb,
                                    cords_read, shape=(504, 1040),
                                    crs_center_coords=crs_cords)

data_memory = data.load() # this loads the data to memory

data_memory # GeoTensor object

>>  Transform: | 10.00, 0.00, 539910.00|
| 0.00,-10.00, 7842990.00|
| 0.00, 0.00, 1.00|
         Shape: (3, 504, 1040)
         Resolution: (10.0, 10.0)
         Bounds: (539910.0, 7837950.0, 550310.0, 7842990.0)
         CRS: EPSG:32738
         fill_value_default: 0

from georeader import plot
plot.show((data_memory / 3_500).clip(0, 1))

Saving the GeoTensor as a COG GeoTIFF:

from georeader.save import save_cog

# Supports writing in remote location (e.g. gs://bucket-name/s2_crop.tif)
save_cog(data_memory, "s2_crop.tif", descriptions=["B4","B3", "B2"])

Align images from different sensors

from georeader import read

# Load two images from different sensors
s2_data = read.read_from_tif("sentinel2.tif")
aviris_data = read.read_from_tif("aviris.tif")

# Reproject AVIRIS to match Sentinel-2 grid
aviris_aligned = read.read_reproject(
    aviris_data, 
    dst_crs=s2_data.crs,
    dst_transform=s2_data.transform,
    dst_shape=s2_data.shape[-2:]
)

Core Concepts

GeoTensor

The central data structure is GeoTensor - a numpy array with geospatial metadata:

from georeader.geotensor import GeoTensor

gt = GeoTensor(
    values=np_array,           # Shape: (C, H, W) or (H, W)
    transform=affine_transform, # Maps pixel to geographic coordinates
    crs="EPSG:32613"           # Coordinate Reference System
)

# Access properties
gt.bounds      # (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)
gt.res         # (x_res, y_res)
gt.footprint() # Shapely polygon of extent

Reader Protocol

All readers implement the GeoData protocol, providing a consistent interface:

# Any reader works with the same read functions
from georeader import read

data = read.read_from_bounds(reader, bounds, crs_bounds="EPSG:4326")
data = read.read_from_polygon(reader, polygon)
data = read.read_from_center_coords(reader, coords, shape=(512, 512))

Documentation

📚 Full documentation: spaceml-org.github.io/georeader

georeader makes easy to read specific areas of your image, to reproject images from different satellites to a common grid (georeader.read), to go from vector to raster formats (georeader.vectorize and georeader.rasterize) or to do radiance to reflectance conversions (georeader.reflectance).

georeader is mainly used to process satellite data for scientific usage, to create ML-ready datasets and to implement end-to-end operational inference pipelines (e.g. the Kherson Dam Break floodmap).
