With the advent of geospatial foundation models, unexplored use cases are emerging that require well-curated datasets. Currently, no standardised approach exists for creating such AI-ready geospatial datasets. In this session, we introduce TerraKit: a comprehensive open-source Python library for retrieving, and processing geospatial data, that seamlessly integrates with upstream geospatial model training libraries such as TorchGeo or TerraTorch.

From raster/vector annotations, TerraKit will match, download, process, align and split the requested data source (e.g., EarthData, CDSE, Planetary Computer) based on user specifications provided by a simple configuration file. TerraKit also supports spatial train/val splits and exports datasets in standard formats such as TACO datasets. TerraKit streamlines the pipeline from raw EO data to AI-ready datasets, accelerating the development of custom geospatial applications, and ensuring query and processing pipelines are reproducible. By lowering the barrier to entry, a wider community of TorchGeo and TerraTorch users are empowered to leverage foundation models for Earth observation.
