Google Satellite Embedding V1

The AlphaEarth Foundations annual Satellite Embedding dataset provides a rich collection of aerial and satellite imagery. These embeddings are stored as Cloud-Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) files, making them highly efficient for cloud-based geospatial workflows and analysis. The dataset covers a range of years, offering a temporal dimension for studying changes and trends.

Managed by Source Cooperative and hosted on AWS, the dataset is updated as new data versions become available, ensuring access to the latest information. It is made available under a CC-BY 4.0 license, promoting open access and reuse. Users can access the data directly via an AWS S3 bucket, with CLI access instructions provided.

This resource is particularly useful for researchers and developers working with machine learning, remote sensing, and earth observation. The use of COG files facilitates scalable processing and integration into various geospatial platforms, making it a powerful tool for large-scale data analysis.
