Short answer

How can I find satellite imagery using my AI?

Your AI queries the EOSDA Agriculture dataset to locate Sentinel or Landsat scenes that match your specific coordinates and timeframes. It returns the metadata and scene IDs required for your work. You get a filtered list of available imagery based on your exact parameters.

Where your data lands

The search outcomes

The AI processes your request and organizes the results into these specific outputs.

DATA

Available scene lists

The AI identifies which Sentinel or Landsat datasets contain the imagery you requested. You receive a list of matching scenes with relevant metadata.

QUERY

Refined search parameters

Your agent translates your vague location or date requests into precise search queries. It ensures the data request hits the right satellite constellation.

HUMAN

Visual verification

The AI provides the metadata, but you must review the imagery to ensure cloud cover or resolution meets your specific needs.

LOG

Search history

The AI keeps track of the datasets it has checked. You can ask it to compare different available datasets for the same area.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your conversation and the EOSDA satellite archives.

  1. Identify datasets

    The AI checks which satellite collections are available to ensure it searches the right source.

    get_available_datasets

  2. Execute search

    The AI uses your location and date range to find specific imagery matches.

    search_dataset

  3. Broaden search

    If a single source doesn't have what you need, the AI looks across multiple satellite collections at once.

    search_multi_dataset

  4. Finalize results

    The AI presents the filtered list of scenes, dates, and locations to your chat interface.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI download the actual image files?

    No. The AI finds the metadata and identifies the available scenes, but you must handle the actual file downloads through your preferred GIS software or platform.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my satellite subscription settings?

    No. The AI only interacts with the data through the provided tools. It cannot modify your EOSDA account or billing information.

  • 03

    Does the AI search all satellite data or just EOSDA's?

    The AI only searches the datasets provided through the EOSDA Agriculture Connector.

  • 04

    Can I ask for specific cloud cover percentages?

    Yes, you can include cloud cover requirements in your prompt, and the AI will use those parameters to filter the search results.

  • 05

    Will the AI suggest which satellite is better for my area?

    The AI can compare the available datasets it finds, but the final decision on which imagery to use for your specific analysis remains with you.
