PROBA-V COLLECTION 2 DATA ACCESS

Following methods are available for accessing PROBA-V data.
All products are distributed free of charge.

 
  • Viewer
    The viewer provides fast access to PROBA-V data. You can easily search, view and compare various data layers. Via the ‘Export’ and ‘Download tab you can download png images, GIF timelapses or the original data in just a few clicks. 
  • Catalogue API
    The PROBA-V products are available in the Terrascope STAC catalogue which allows you to search through the data. The STAC browser and viewer  provide a way to do this manually, but when you are programming yourself, you can use the psytac-client library to interact with the Terrascope STAC API. This library can be used in combination with stac-asset to download data assets, using the necessary authentication mechanisms. We provide an example notebook on how to interact with the STAC API and the download service using these tools on GitHub

  • Virtual Machine
    With the Terrascope Virtual Machine (VM), a developer or researcher can access a Virtual Research Environment with access to the complete PROBA-V data archive and a powerful set of tools and libraries to work with the data (e.g. SNAP toolbox, GRASS GIS, QGIS) or to develop-debug test applications (R, Python or Java). 

  • Jupyter Notebooks
    The notebooks in Terrascope JupyterLab allow you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text. It is directly integrated with the Hadoop processing cluster to enable large scale processing.
