Dependencies

mgrs, s3fs

Tutorial

The library is small and limited. It could be used to download Cloud Optimized Geotiff files from AWS S3.

First of all we should import the library:

import s2froms3

To know what you can download from S3 you can use:

for item in s2froms3.products.Properties:
    print(item.value)
    description = item.describe()
    for k, v in description.items():
        print(f'    {k}: {v}')
    print()

The previous code will print the available options to download COGs:

Once you know the different possibilities you can start to download COGs using the following:

import datetime as dt
from pathlib import Path

lon = 10 # Longitude of interest
lat = 10 # Latitude of interest
start_date = dt.date(2020, 8, 1) # Start date to search images
end_date = dt.date(2020, 8, 15) # End date to search images
what = ['B02', 'B03', 'B04'] # What we want to download
cc = 25 # Minimum cloud cover on each image, 25 is 25%
folder = Path('.') # Where the files will be downloaded

downloaded = s2froms3.download_S2(
    lon=lon,
    lat=lat,
    start_date=start_date,
    end_date=end_date,
    what=what,
    cloud_cover_le=cc,
    folder=folder
)

After a while, you will find several COG files in the same folder where you were running the code. The function above will return the S3 file paths of the downloaded files:

print(downloaded)

The previous code will show:

['sentinel-cogs/sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs/32/P/PS/2020/8/S2A_32PPS_20200804_0_L2A/B02.tif',
 'sentinel-cogs/sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs/32/P/PS/2020/8/S2A_32PPS_20200804_0_L2A/B03.tif',
 'sentinel-cogs/sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs/32/P/PS/2020/8/S2A_32PPS_20200804_0_L2A/B04.tif',
 'sentinel-cogs/sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs/32/P/PS/2020/8/S2B_32PPS_20200809_0_L2A/B02.tif',
 'sentinel-cogs/sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs/32/P/PS/2020/8/S2B_32PPS_20200809_0_L2A/B03.tif',
 'sentinel-cogs/sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs/32/P/PS/2020/8/S2B_32PPS_20200809_0_L2A/B04.tif',
 'sentinel-cogs/sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs/32/P/PS/2020/8/S2B_32PPS_20200812_0_L2A/B02.tif',
 'sentinel-cogs/sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs/32/P/PS/2020/8/S2B_32PPS_20200812_0_L2A/B03.tif',
 'sentinel-cogs/sentinel-s2-l2a-cogs/32/P/PS/2020/8/S2B_32PPS_20200812_0_L2A/B04.tif']

Sometimes the location you have in mind is in a border of a tile (COG) and the scene you want to analyze is not complete. You can check if the location is close to a border/corner using the following function:

from s2froms3 import point_in_tile

print(s2froms3.point_in_tile(2.98279, 39.73887))

The previous code will show

+ + + + + + + + + + + 
+                 O + 
+                   + 
+                   + 
+                   + 
+                   + 
+                   + 
+                   + 
+                   + 
+                   + 
+ + + + + + + + + + + 

This way you can better understand if, in this case, you will need to download also the COGs in the East, the Northeast and/or the North.

if you want to download also COG files adjacent to the target location you could use the also option. For instance, in the previous case you maybe also want to download the COGs located to the East (E), to the North (N) and to the Northeast (NE). You could do so with the following code:

lon, lat = 2.98279, 39.73887

downloaded = s2froms3.download_S2(
    lon=lon,
    lat=lat,
    start_date=start_date,
    end_date=end_date,
    what=what,
    cloud_cover_le=cc,
    folder=folder,
    also=['N', 'NE', 'E']
)

Now, you will get several COGs but also the COGs located to the N, NE and E.

TO-DO

• Use threading to download the files (done ✔️).
• Add entry point / cli command (I'm thinking about it. Let's see).
