Data Sources¶
Earth Engine Data Catalog¶
The Earth Engine Data Catalog host over 500+ datasets that have been ingested and a lot more actively curated for easy use. The catalog allows you to look for datasets using keywords as tags so search for water and see what you can find.
Open California Dataset¶
Apart from Education and Research account quota of 10,000 sqkm per month, you also have access to free and open data for all of California using the Open California project
High Resolution Settlement Layer¶
The Connectivity Lab at Facebook released high resolution population datasets for a couple of countries these are done using high resolution training data at 0.5 m resolution and can be used to understand urban density and movement. This is a 3band product where based on information from Center for International Earth Science Information Network(CIESIN). I have ingested 13 High Resolution Settlement Layers(HRSL) layers into Google Earth Engine for you to use during the period of the hackathon.
You can find the dataset here

Microsoft: Computer generated building footprints for the United States and Open AI for Earth¶
In June Microsoft released 125 million Footprints in the US as Open Data,US Buildings Footprints. Though considering the segmentation and classification are performed for Building rooftops as is a better indicator of rooftoop edges. That being said this was also when the discussion and interest in Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit CNTK. You can find more about the research including the papers and the resnet base on their github page
Another important and interesting project was the Land Cover Mapping using CNTK and the GeoAI DataScience VM. Head to the [main website]
Microsoft: AI for Earth¶
I am including the series of links and useful follow ups posted earlier on Slack to have easy reference

Satellogic Open Data¶
Head over to Satellogic's data explorer and use the username and password provided to you during the hackathon to access their multispectral and hyperspectral datasets.
Tools¶
Planet CLI¶
The planet CLI as mentioned earlier allows you to batch activate, search, download imagery among other things interact with Planet Data API directly. You can find it here or try pip install planet
Planet notebooks¶
Planet Labs holds and hosts plenty of jupyter notebooks of you to be able to download, use and analyze Planet data.
Earth Engine Python Installation¶
You can access earthengine using python rather than javascript for batch processing. Find installation instructions here
Earth Engine CLI¶
This is updated quite frequently earthengine and new releases are released on pypi
Satellogic Open Impact¶
Satellogic maintains an open impact repository that holds tutorials to access, download and process data along with introduction to Telluric for analysis. You can find it here
satadd: Satellite Data Download Addon¶
I wrote tool a few days back with the idea to harmonize easy access to data that are made available from public and private open data endpoints. This will allow you to download , Planet Labs data, Satellogic Data, query and search Digital Globe data , and query and download Earth Engine imagery as neeeded. You can find the tool here or pip install satadd
