Good afternoon folks,

Helping a student who is using artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret global imagery for geological purposes. The student has been testing this workflow using LandSat 8 (bands 6-7), ASTER shortwave infrared, and Digital Globe RGB. Since the student is looking to download and process imagery in large batches – the Earth Explorer and Digital Globe portals propose some unique challenges as imagery practically has be downloaded tile by tile. Wondering if there’s a way to access any of these sources through a directory or batch download?

The researcher is open sources other than LandSat 8, ASTER & Digital Globe. The project is not geographically specific, and is using global imagery sources. It would acceptable if there were a license or cost associated with this data, as long as the batch processing and possible automation capability is there.

Your insight and expertise are greatly appreciated!

Best&Cheers,
Francine
