- tldr: SatExtractor gets all revisits in a date range from a given geojson region from any public satellite constellation and store it in a cloud friendly format.
The large amount of image data makes it difficult to create datasets to train models quickly and reliably. Existing methods for extracting satellite images take a long time to process and have user quotas that restrict access.
Therefore, we created an open source extraction tool SatExtractor to perform worldwide datasets extractions using serverless providers such as Google Cloud Platform or AWS and based on a common existing standard: STAC.
The tool scales horizontally as needed, extracting revisits and storing them in zarr format to be easily used by deep learning models.
It is fully configurable using Hydra.
<p align="right">(<a href="#top">back to top</a>)</p> <!-- GETTING STARTED -->Getting Started
SatExtractor needs a cloud provider to work. Before you start using it, you'll need to create and configure a cloud provider account.
We provide the implementation to work with Google Cloud, but SatExtractor is implemented to be easily extensible to other providers.
Structure
The package is structured in a modular and configurable approach. It is basically a pipeline containing 6 important steps (separated in modules).
-
Builder: contains the logic to build the container that will run the extraction. <details>
<summary>more info</summary> SatExtractor is based on a docker container. The Dockerfile in the root dir is used to build the core package and a reference in it to the specific provider extraction logic should be explicitly added (see the gcp example in directory providers/gcp).This is done by setting <code> ENV PROVIDER </code> var to point the provider directory. In the default Dockerfile it is set to gcp: <code> ENV PROVIDER providers/gcp </code>.
- Stac: converts a public constellation to the STAC standard. <details> <summary>more info</summary> If the original constellation is not already in STAC standard it should be converted. To do so, you have to implement the constellation specific STAC conversor. Sentinel 2 and Landsat 7/8 examples can be found in <code> src/satextractor/stac </code>. The function that is actually called to perform the conversion to the STAC standard is set in stac hydra config file ( <code> conf/stac/gcp.yaml </code>)
- Tiler: Creates tiles (patches) of the given region to perform the extraction. <details> <summary>more info</summary> The Tiler split the region in tiles using <a href=https://sentinelhub-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/large_area_utilities.html> SentinelHub splitter </a>. For example if a Tile size of 10000m is set, you will have in your storage patches of size 10000m. The config about the tiler can be found in <code> conf/tiler/utm.yaml </code>. There, the size of the tiles can be specified.
-
Scheduler: Decides how those tiles are going to be scheduled creating extractions tasks. <details>
<summary>more info</summary> The Scheduler takes the resulting tiles from the Tiler and group them in bigger areas to be extracted.For example, if the Tiler splitted the region in 1000x1000m tiles, now the scheduler can be set to group them in UTM splits of, say, 100000x100000m (100km). Also, the scheduler calculates the intersection between the patches and the constellation STAC assets. At the end, you'll have and object called <code> ExtractionTask </code> with the information to extract one revisit, one band and multiple patches. This <code> ExtractionTask </code> will be send to the cloud provider to perform the actual extraction.
The config about the scheduler can be found in <code> conf/scheduler/utm.yaml </code>.
-
Preparer: Prepare the files in the cloud storage. <details>
<summary>more info</summary> The Preparer creates the cloud file structure. It creates the needed zarr groups and arrays in order to later store the extracted patches.The gcp preparer config can be found in <code> conf/preparer/gcp.yaml </code>.
- Deployer: Deploy the extraction tasks created by the scheduler to perform the extraction. <details> <summary>more info</summary> The Deployer sends one message per ExtractionTask to the cloud provider to perform the actal extraction. It works by publishing messages to a PubSub queue where the extraction is subscribed to. When a new message (ExtractionTask) arrives it will be automatically run on the cloud autoscaling. The gcp deployer config can be found in <code> conf/deployer/gcp.yaml </code>.
All the steps are optional and the user decides which to run the main config file.
Prerequisites
In order to run SatExtractor we recommend to have a virtual env and a cloud provider user should already been created.
Installation
- Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/FrontierDevelopmentLab/sat-extractor
- Install python packages
pip install .
Usage
🔴🔴🔴
- WARNING!!!!:
Running SatExtractor will use your billable cloud provider services.
We strongly recommend testing it with a small region to get acquainted
with the process and have a first sense of your cloud provider costs
for the datasets you want to generate. Be sure you are running all your
cloud provider services in the same region to avoid extra costs.
🔴🔴🔴
Once a cloud provider user is set and the package is installed you'll need to grab the GeoJSON region you want (you can get it from the super-cool tool geojson.io) and change the config files.
- Choose a region name (eg
cordoba
below) and create an output directory for it:
mkdir output/cordoba
- Save the region GeoJSON as
aoi.geojson
and store it in the folder you just created. - Open the
config.yaml
and you'll see something like this:
dataset_name: cordoba
output: ./output/${dataset_name}
log_path: ${output}/main.log
credentials: ${output}/token.json
gpd_input: ${output}/aoi.geojson
item_collection: ${output}/item_collection.geojson
tiles: ${output}/tiles.pkl
extraction_tasks: ${output}/extraction_tasks.pkl
start_date: 2020-01-01
end_date: 2020-02-01
constellations:
- sentinel-2
- landsat-5
- landsat-7
- landsat-8
defaults:
- stac: gcp
- tiler: utm
- scheduler: utm
- deployer: gcp
- builder: gcp
- cloud: gcp
- preparer: gcp
- _self_
tasks:
- build
- stac
- tile
- schedule
- prepare
- deploy
hydra:
run:
dir: .
The important here is to set the dataset_name
to <your_region_name>
, define the start_date
and end_date
for your revisits, your constellations
and the tasks to be run (you would want to run the build
only one time and the comment it out.)
Important: the token.json
contains the needed credentials to access you cloud provider. In this example case it contains the gcp credentials. You can see instructions for getting it below in the Authentication instructions.
-
Open the
cloud/<provider>.yaml
and add there your account info as in the default provided file. Thestorage_root
must point to an existing bucket/bucket directory.user_id
is simply used for naming resources. (optional): you can choose different configurations by changing modules configs:builder
,stac
,tiler
,scheduler
,preparer
, etc. There you can change things like patch_size, chunk_size. -
Run
python src/satextractor/cli.py
and enjoy!
See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).
<p align="right">(<a href="#top">back to top</a>)</p>Authentication
Google Cloud
To get the token.json
for Google Cloud, the recommended approach is to create a service account:
- Go to Credentials
- Click
Create Credentials
and chooseService account
- Enter a name (e.g.
sat-extractor
) and clickCreate and Continue
- Under
Select a role
, chooseBasic
->Editor
and then clickDone
- Choose the account from the list and then to to the
Keys
tab - Click
Add key
->Create new key
->JSON
and save the file that gets downloaded - Rename to
token.json
and you're done!
For building the sat-extractor
service, you may also need to configure the credentials used by the cloud provider commandline devkit.
Permissions at the project-owner level are recommended.
If using Google Cloud Platform, you can authorize the gcloud
devkit to access Google Cloud Platform using your Google credentials by running the command gcloud auth login
.
You may also need to run gcloud config set project your-proj-name
for sat-extractor
to work properly.
