TerraTorch - The geospatial foundation model fine-tuning toolkit

Please, read the contribution guidelines (see Contribution below) if you want to contribute to TerraTorch.

Overview

TerraTorch is a PyTorch domain library based on PyTorch Lightning and the TorchGeo domain library for geospatial data.

Disclaimer

TerraTorch provides tools for fine-tuning and using pretrained models. No models are hosted by TerraTorch. TerraTorch only provides the training and inference framework.

User responsibility: It is the sole responsibility of the user to verify that the license of any model they download, fine-tune, or deploy allows their intended use. The TerraTorch maintainers do not provide legal advice and are not liable for any misuse of third-party models.

TerraTorch’s main purpose is to provide a flexible fine-tuning framework for Geospatial Foundation Models, which can be interacted with at different abstraction levels. The library provides:

• Convenient modelling tools:
  • Flexible trainers for Image Segmentation, Classification and Pixel Wise Regression fine-tuning tasks
  • Model factories that allow to easily combine backbones and decoders for different tasks
  • Ready-to-go datasets and datamodules that require only to point to your data with no need of creating new custom classes
  • Launching of fine-tuning tasks through CLI and flexible configuration files, or via jupyter notebooks
• Easy access to:
  • Open source pre-trained Geospatial Foundation Model backbones:
    • Prithvi
    • TerraMind
    • SatMAE
    • ScaleMAE
    • Satlas (as implemented in TorchGeo)
    • DOFA (as implemented in TorchGeo)
    • SSL4EO-L and SSL4EO-S12 models (as implemented in TorchGeo)
    • Clay
  • Backbones available in the timm (Pytorch image models)
  • Decoders available in SMP (Pytorch Segmentation models with pre-training backbones) and mmsegmentation packages
  • Fine-tuned models such as granite-geospatial-biomass
  • All GEO-Bench datasets and datamodules
  • All TorchGeo datasets and datamodules

Installation

Pip

In order to use the file pyproject.toml it is necessary to guarantee pip>=21.8. If necessary upgrade pip using python -m pip install --upgrade pip.

For a stable point-release, use pip install terratorch==<version>.

To get the most recent version of the branch main, install the library with pip install git+https://github.com/terrastackai/terratorch.git.

Conda

TerraTorch is also available on conda-forge, to install from there do conda install -c conda-forge terratorch.

Pipx

Alternatively, it is possible to install using pipx via pipx install terratorch, which creates an isolated environment and allows the user to run the application as a common CLI tool, with no need of installing dependencies or activating environments.

Gdal

TerraTorch requires gdal to be installed, which can be quite a complex process. If you don't have GDAL set up on your system, we recommend using a conda environment and installing it with conda install -c conda-forge gdal. If you are installing from conda-forge it probably won't be a problem.

Install as a developer

To install as a developer (e.g. to extend the library):

git clone https://github.com/terrastackai/terratorch.git
cd terratorch
pip install -e .[test]

To install terratorch with partial (work in development) support for Weather Foundation Models, pip install -e .[wxc], which currently works just for Python >= 3.11.
