EOReader is a remote-sensing opensource python library reading optical and SAR constellations, loading and stacking bands, clouds, DEM and spectral indices in a sensor-agnostic way.

Managed optical constellations

Sentinel-2 SAFE and Theia Sentinel-3 OLCI and SLSTR Landsat 1 to 9 Harmonized Landsat-Sentinel PlanetScope, SkySat and RapidEye Pleiades and Pleiades-Neo SPOT-6/7 and 4/5 Vision-1 Maxar (WorldViews, GeoEye) SuperView-1 GEOSAT-2

Managed SAR constellations

Sentinel-1 COSMO-Skymed 1st and 2nd Generation TerraSAR-X, TanDEM-X and PAZ SAR RADARSAT-2 and RADARSAT-Constellation ICEYE SAOCOM Capella

Features

EOReader implements sensor-agnostic features:

EOReader works mainly with:

Python Quickstart

Optical

from eoreader.reader import Reader
from eoreader.bands import *

# Sentinel-2 path
s2_path = "S2B_MSIL1C_20181126T022319_N0207_R103_T51PWM_20181126T050025.SAFE"

# Create the reader object and open satellite data
reader = Reader()

# The reader will recognize the constellation from its product structure
s2_prod = reader.open(s2_path)

# Load some bands and index
bands = s2_prod.load([NDVI, GREEN, CLOUDS])

# Create a stack with some bands
stack = s2_prod.stack([RED, GREEN, BLUE], stack_path="s2_rgb_stack.tif")

SAR

from eoreader.reader import Reader
from eoreader.bands import *

# Sentinel-1 GRD path
s1_path = "S1B_EW_GRDM_1SDH_20200422T080459_20200422T080559_021254_028559_784D.zip"

# Create the reader object and open satellite data
reader = Reader()

# The reader will recognize the constellation from its product structure
s1_prod = reader.open(s1_path)

# Load some bands and index
bands = s1_prod.load([VV, VH])

# Create a stack with some bands
stack = s1_prod.stack([VV_DSPK, VH_DSPK], stack_path="s1_stack.tif")

⚠️SNAP and SAR

SAR products need ESA SNAP free software to be orthorectified and calibrated. Ensure that you have the folder containing your gpt executable in your PATH. If you are using SNAP 8.0, be sure to have your software up-to-date (SNAP version >= 8.0).

Installation

Pip

You can install EOReader via pip:

pip install eoreader

EOReader mainly relies on geopandas and rasterio (through rioxarray).

On Windows and with pip, you may face installation issues due to GDAL. The well known workaround of installing from Gohlke's wheels also applies here. Please look at the rasterio page to learn more about that.

Conda

You can install EOReader via conda:

conda config --env --set channel_priority strict
conda install -c conda-forge eoreader

Context

As one of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service Rapid Mapping and Risk and Recovery Mapping operators, SERTIT needs to deliver geoinformation (such as flood or fire delineation, landslides mapping, etc.) based on multiple EO constellations.

In rapid mapping, it is always important to have access to various sensor types, resolutions, and satellites. Indeed, SAR sensors are able to detect through clouds and during nighttime (which is particularly useful during flood and storm events), while optical sensors benefit from of multi spectral bands to better analyze and classify the crisis information.

As every minute counts in the production of geoinformation in an emergency mode, it seemed crucial to harmonize the ground on which are built our production tools, in order to make them as sensor-agnostic as possible.

This is why SERTIT decided to decouple the sensor handling from the extraction algorithms: the latter should be able to ingest semantic bands (i.e. RED or VV) without worrying about how to load the specific sensor band or in what unit it is.
The assumption was made that all the spectral bands from optical sensors could be mapped between each other, in addition to the natural mapping between SAR bands.

Thus, thanks to EOReader, these tools are made independent to the constellation:
the algorithm (and its developer) can focus on its core tasks (such as extraction) without taking into account the sensor characteristics (how to load a band, which band correspond to which band number, …)
new sensor addition is effortless (if existing in EOReader) and requires no algorithm modification
maintenance is simplified and the code quality is significantly improved
testing is also simplified as the sensor-related parts are tested in EOReader library

However, keep in mind that the support of all the constellations used in CEMS is done in the best effort mode, especially for commercial data. Indeed, we may not have faced every product type, sensor mode or order configuration, so some details may be missing. If this happens to you, do not hesitate to make a PR or write an issue about that !
