Access to assets

Manage and download data acquired from orders and processes.


Overview


Storage allows you to work with the assets delivered as a result of a completed order or a finished processing job.

Assets can be either transformed or not transformed. Transformed assets are STAC-retrievable. Depending on the transformation status of an asset, it can be found in different parts of the data management component:

  • Map only contains transformed assets.
  • Table contains both transformed and not transformed assets.

Transformed assets are called STAC items. STAC items represent individual scenes and contain geospatial features that are called STAC assets.

STAC items

STAC items are transformed assets.

  2. To search for STAC items only in your workspace, click Filters inline-icon in the search bar and select My workspace. Otherwise, stay in My account. If needed, use the search bar to find STAC items with specific parameters.
  3. All STAC items matching the search criteria will be displayed. To limit the search to specific geographical locations, zoom in over a specific area and click Search this area.

STAC assets

Only transformed assets have STAC assets.

Preview STAC assets

You can preview a CNAM-supported projected raster asset in storage before download. For example, georectified or orthorectified TIFFs, PNGs, and JPEGs.

  1. Open the console and go to Data management inline-icon Data managementMap.
  2. To search for STAC items only in your workspace, click Filters inline-icon in the search bar and select My workspace. Otherwise, stay in My account. If needed, use the search bar to find STAC items with specific parameters.
  3. Access the asset by clicking on it.
  4. In the opened sidebar, expand the STAC asset you want to preview. Select the View on map toggle to see a preview displayed.

Download STAC assets

  1. Open the console and go to Data management inline-icon Data managementMap.
  2. To search for STAC items only in your workspace, click Filters inline-icon in the search bar and select My workspace. Otherwise, stay in My account. If needed, use the search bar to find STAC items with specific parameters.
  3. Access the STAC item by clicking on it.
  4. In the opened sidebar, expand the STAC asset you want to download. Click the button with the file type next to Download. You can also download the ZIP file of the original delivery from the list of STAC assets.

Stream STAC assets

  1. Open the console and go to Data management inline-icon Data managementMap.
  2. To search for STAC items only in your workspace, click Filters inline-icon in the search bar and select My workspace. Otherwise, stay in My account. If needed, use the search bar to find STAC items with specific parameters.
  3. Access the STAC item by clicking on it.
  4. In the opened sidebar, expand the STAC asset you want to stream. Click Copy URL Copy inline-icon.

Paste the streaming link into a third-party application or visualization software — for example, QGIS.

Troubleshooting

I’m not happy with the quality of the received tasking data

If the delivered data has quality issues, report this to the Operations team with the order ID within 7 days of data delivery to extend the tasking period, retask the order, or get a refund.

Why is my imagery black?

If your imagery doesn’t appear as expected in an image viewer, the imagery probably has a higher bit depth per pixel than the viewer can render. To view the imagery, visualize it in QGIS.

I have a project with several orders. How do I group all this data?

Add tags when creating orders for your project. After the orders are completed, search for assets with the specified tag in the search bar.
