Earth Observation preprocessing tools for AI and machine learning applications

This project provides easy-to-use tools for preprocessing datasets for image segmentation tasks in Earth Observation. We hope to remove the barrier to entry for data scientists in EO, by reducing the amount of time spent on reformatting datasets. These EO datasets are frequently characterised by very large image formats, high bit-depths, non-standard label formats, pixel values in Digital Number, varied naming conventions, and other dataset-specific peculiarities which slow down development of AI applications.

This package aims to provide users with a pre-prepared dataset ready immediately for AI / Deep Learning applications. The processed datasets are all:

  • Normalised to reflectance values
  • Resampled to the same resolution
  • Split into smaller images for quicker read times
  • Transformed into one-hot encoded masks
  • Organised into simple directory tree structure
  • Documented with useful metadata and command for replication

Cloud Masking datasets

Landsat 8: Biomelink (USGS, 2016)

96 manually annotated Landsat 8 scenes (~8k-by-8k pixels) from 8 different terrain types (biomes). Data provided at 30m res. for all bands.

Landsat 8: SPARCSlink (USGS, 2016)

80 manually annotated cropped Landsat 8 scenes (1k-by-1k pixels). Data provided at 30m resolution but does not include sharper 'Panchromatic' band.

Landsat 7: Irishlink (USGS, 2016)

206 manually annotated Landsat 7 scenes from a diverse range of latitudes. Data provided at nominal Landsat 7 resolution of 30m.

Sentinel-2: ALCDlink (Baetens et al., 2018)

38 Sentinel-2 scenes annotated through an "active learning" system. Data provided in native band resolutions (10m - 60m). Does not include the parent scenes, only the masks. Therefore we include a download tool to retrieve the relevant scenes from the Copernicus Open Access Hub, for which a username and password is needed.

Sentinel-2: IRISlink (Francis et al., 2020)

513 subscenes from Sentinel-2. Each image and mask pair is 1022 pixels across.

Sentinel-2: KappaZetalink (Domnich et al., 2021)

4403 subscenes from 155 Sentinel-2 products. Each image and mask pair is 512 pixels across at 10 m/pixel resolution.
