1. Select a process

   Processes are algorithms that you can apply to STAC items in your storage. There are two types of processes:

   • Enhancement processes that pre-process imagery to improve its visual quality.
   • Analytics processes that extract insights from imagery.

2. Accept the EULA

   If you want to run the chosen process for the first time, review and accept its end-user license agreement (EULA). If a EULA is updated, you need to re-accept it before creating your next job.

Open the console and go to  Data management → Map. Search for STAC items in one of the following ways:

• Use the map to zoom in on a specific location.
• Use the search bar to enter a location name and select a prompt from the drop-down list.
• Use the filters in the search bar to define workspace or other search parameters. Click Search.

You can only process STAC items that come from a supported collection and that are added to storage starting in 2023.

You can download and visualize the geometries of selected STAC items before creating a job.

1. Select the STAC items.
2. Above the STAC items, click GeoJSON to download the geometries as a GeoJSON file.
3. Use any third-party GIS tool to visualize the GeoJSON file.

1. Select the STAC items and click Process.
2. In the section below the STAC items overview, select a process.
3. Review the selected STAC items. If necessary, remove some of them as follows:
   • If there are incompatible STAC items, click Remove all to exclude them.
   • If there are STAC items you no longer want to process, go back, expand the STAC items section, and remove those STAC items.
4. From the STAC item compatibility step, click Configure STAC items.
5. Specify the output title and other parameters for the selected process. Click Process STAC items.
6. Check the job summary. Select I agree with the EULA conditions and click Confirm processing.

Monitor the status and the readiness of your job.

I can’t find the STAC item I want to process

Only STAC items that come from a supported collection and were added to storage starting in 2023 are available for processing.

My STAC item isn’t compatible with a chosen process

See the Requirements for input imagery section of the chosen process and check that your STAC item meets these requirements.
