Search and filter S1 and S2 data#

Short description

This notebook introduces the Search and Filter functionality for SpaceSense catalog entries.

In this notebook, you will search for Sentinel-1 and Sentinel-2 images over a specified area and time, and filter the returned results.

0 - Install Spacesense Client Library and dependencies#

Please follow the installation process and use the virtual environment in this notebook.

1 - Import spacesense object(s) and other dependencies#

[5]:

from spacesense import Client

2 - Configure the API Key by setting the SS_API_KEY environment variable#

[2]:

import os
if "SS_API_KEY" not in os.environ:
    from getpass import getpass
    api_key = getpass('Enter your api key : ')
    os.environ["SS_API_KEY"] = api_key

3 - Define AOI and output options#

[3]:

# Define the AOI
aoi = {
  "type": "FeatureCollection",
  "features": [
    {
      "id": "0",
      "type": "Feature",
      "properties": {},
      "geometry": {
        "type": "Polygon",
        "coordinates": [
          [
            [
              8.622499,
              39.831038
            ],
            [
              8.622499,
              39.827197
            ],
            [
              8.630311,
              39.827197
            ],
            [
              8.630311,
              39.831038
            ],
            [
              8.622499,
              39.831038
            ]
          ]
        ]
      }
    }
  ]
}

7 - Filter and select only the S1 and S2 images you require#

There are many ways to select the data you need, as it is simply manipulating the Pandas Dataframe object. Here is a link to the Pandas documentation for DataFrames, and there are introductory tutorials available to teach the basics of DataFrame structure and manipulation here and here

So experiment and find the best way that suits your use case!

This same process works for both S1 and S2 search results. The following examples simply display the result after filtering. To apply the filters, set them equal to a new or existing variable.

[7]:

# Select only the first (0) and second (1) elements of the Sentinel-1 results by their index (using "iloc")
res_S1.dataframe.iloc[[0,1]]
