Within the first year of making Landsat data publicly available on their cloud services platform, Amazon had logged over a billion requests for the same. Clearly there is a huge demand for open geo data.
Following the success of Landsat on AWS,*Amazon*had recently announced the launch of “Earth on AWS” – an open spatial data repository consisting of several another datasets including “SpaceNet Machine Learning Corpus“.
SpaceNet – Open Data for training your Remote Sensing AI
SpaceNet is a repository of approximately 1900 square kilometres of high-resolution (50cm) satellite imagery and labelled training data made available via AWS under a Creative Commons license. It is most probably the largest Open Data repository available for training your (remote sensing) machine learning algorithms!
SpaceNet – Open Data on AWS
The satellite imagery is from DigitalGlobe’s WorldView-2 satellite, which has a 8-Band multispectral sensor. The Data sheet for WorldView-2 is available here.
WorldView-2 Spectral bands In addition to satellite imagery, SpaceNet also includes over 200,000 building footprints across the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil*derived from the*imagery. On a side note, extracting building footprints was in fact the first thing that Facebook had to do when they started working on their population density map using DigitalGlobe data*(Related:*Facebook created the most detailed Population Density Map to bring the rest of the world online).
This is just the first release and the*SpaceNet collaboration partners*i.e.*DigitalGlobe, CosmiQ Works, and NVIDIA plan to eventually make over*60 million labeled*high-resolution images (TechCrunch) available to the public.*The data is available as GeoTIFF, GeoJSON on AWS. Here’s the link to the main page.
