Satellogic has announced that the Satellogic EarthView dataset is now openly accessible on Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud through the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program.
The Satellogic EarthView dataset includes more than 2 million regions across five continents with multiple revisits, reaching in total over 7 million images. By having access to Satellogic EarthView on AWS, researchers AWS pay only for computing services they use without having to purchase extra storage. AWS, through its Open Data Sponsorship Program, is covering the costs of the storage and transfer of the data so that it can be accessed and analyzed in the cloud by researchers around the world.
A small number of these regions overlap significantly. Images are provided in COG format and include four bands: red, blue, green and near-infrared. For each region and date, the dataset provides Top-Of-Atmosphere reflectance values. Metadata contains off-nadir, sun elevation angle, satellite altitude and other relevant information. Satellogic images were captured between July 1, 2022, and December 30, 2022.
Satellogic EarthView is one of the largest contributions made by a commercial company in the Earth Observation community, made available under the CC BY 4.0 license. This dataset was created in collaboration with ServiceNow Research. Please visit this direct infolink for more information.
A paper presenting the EarthView dataset, along with the release of a baseline foundation model—a masked autoencoder (scalable self-supervised learners for computer vision)—has been accepted as a full paper at the CV4EO Workshop at the 2025 IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV). The paper, titled “EarthView: A Large Scale Remote Sensing Dataset for Self-Supervision,” describes how we built the full dataset, the model architecture, and the experimental setup. This work is the result of Satellogic’s collaboration with an exceptional team of researchers led by Alexandre Lacoste at ServiceNow under Yoshua Bengio’s guidance.
Having the Satellogic EarthView dataset available on AWS will unlock scalable access to a vast collection of high-resolution satellite imagery for researchers, developers, and organizations. This will enable advancements in EO applications such as environmental monitoring, agricultural analysis, disaster response, urban planning, and climate studies. AWS’s infrastructure will facilitate efficient data processing, analysis, and machine learning model training, empowering users to innovate and derive insights quickly without the need for extensive local storage or computational resources.
Through the AWS Open Data Sponsorship Program, AWS works with data providers to democratize access to data by making it available for analysis on AWS; develop new cloud-native techniques, formats, and tools that lower the cost of working with data; and encourage the development of communities that benefit from access to shared datasets. Through the program, AWS has democratized access to petabytes of data, including satellite imagery, climate and weather data, genomic data, and data used for natural language processing. The full list of publicly available datasets is available on the Registry of Open Data on AWS.
The release of the Satellogic EarthView dataset on AWS represents a significant step forward in our mission to democratize access to geospatial data,” said Emiliano Kargieman, CEO of Satellogic. “We are excited to empower researchers, developers, and organizations worldwide with the tools they need to drive innovation, address global challenges, and uncover new insights about our planet.”
