EarthView dataset
Overview
The EarthView Dataset is a comprehensive collection of multispectral earth imagery. The dataset is divided into four distinct subsets sourced from Satellogic, Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 (coming soon), and NEON imagers, each providing unique data.
Dataset Viewer
Check the EarthView Dataset Viewer and it's code for examples on how to access the images and navigate the dataset.
Data Sources
Each subset (AKA configuration) in the EarthView dataset includes samples representing specific patches of the Earth. 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.

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 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

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.

Images
Sentinel-1 carries a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload. 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 to return RGB images. (see the example below). Samples in the dataset contain varied numbers of re-visits per location.

Neon
In the dataset, the subset/configuration for NEON is called default

.

When using item_to_images()
the Hyperspectral images are mapped, from the 369 bands to RGB using a meaningless mapping. Please, don't use it for anything else than an example.

Sentinel 2 (Coming Soon)
Check the EarthView Dataset Viewer and it's code to get an idea on how to use it.
Known Issues
- The time component of timestamps is not correct.
Bounds for some images is not correct. We are evaluating what has happened.. The new version of Satellogic data has correct bounds.
We intend to update the dataset to fix issues when possible
