COG/STAC Generator with Docker

Overview

This is a generator that takes GeoTIFF data and a configuration JSON file as input and generates COG and STAC files compatible with the JAXA Earth Database for API.

How to Use the Generator

  1. Install Docker in your environment.
  2. Download and unzip the generator package.

    COG_STAC_generator.zip

  3. Change your current directory to the location of the Dockerfile.

  4. Run:
docker-compose up -d --build

You can then execute main.py inside the Docker container to generate COG/STAC.

Description of Input Parameters

Parameters in main.py

Parameter Description
root_local Location of COG/STAC output on your environment
bucket Bucket name to be used
ftype Fixed with "cog"
version_path Fixed with "v1"
version_full STAC version in JAXA Earth API

Preparation of GeoTIFFs

Prepared GeoTIFFs must be placed under a date folder. The generator detects dates by folder name:

sample_geotiff/
├── 2020-01-01/
│   ├── sample_LST.tif
│   └── sample_LST_QA_flag.tif
└── 2020-01-09/
    ├── sample_LST.tif
    └── sample_LST_QA_flag.tif

Supported date folder types:

Date type Example Description
YYYY-MM-DD 2022-01-01 Daily, 8-day, half-monthly data
YYYY-MM 2022-01 Monthly data
YYYY 2022 Yearly data
DDD 001, 365 Daily normal data
MM-DD 01-01, 12-31 Half-monthly normal data
MM 01, 12 Monthly normal data
