Fig 2. The result our data pipeline that queries a STAC API. X is the longitude and y the latitude. The "V V” color bar represents the type of polarity signal for the C-band radar image.

Fig 3. An example data pipeline that converts a STAC query into tuples of Torch tensors for the image and label pairs. Torchdata allows each step in this datapipe to stream from cloud stores and supports multiprocessing.

  • 1Use STAC

    Find an existing STAC API that serves your dataset. If your imagery and labels aren’t in a STAC API, you can use open source tools like stactools to create STAC items that can be ingested into a STAC API.

  • 2Use pystac_client and stackstac

    to load STAC Items into Xarray objects for visualization, analysis, and inspection.

  • 3Use TorchData and Zen3Geo

    to convert Xarray structures to Torch tensors.
