One line code to get Any Remote Sensing Foundation Model (RSFM) embeddings for Any Place and Any Time
Get Start on I-GUIDE Today!
emb = get_embedding("prithvi", spatial=..., temporal=..., output=...)git clone https://github.com/cybergis/rs-embed.git
cd rs-embed
pip install -e .For models that depend on terratorch (terramind):
pip install -e ".[terratorch]"If this is your first time using Google Earth Engine, authenticate once:
earthengine authenticatefrom rs_embed import FetchSpec, PointBuffer, TemporalSpec, OutputSpec, get_embedding
spatial = PointBuffer(lon=121.5, lat=31.2, buffer_m=2048)
temporal = TemporalSpec.range(
"2022-06-01",
"2022-09-01",
)
emb = get_embedding(
"prithvi",
spatial=spatial,
temporal=temporal,
output=OutputSpec.pooled(),
)See the visualization helper and end-to-end notebook in the repository:
For new users, start with these primary APIs:
get_embedding(...): one ROI -> one embeddingget_embeddings_batch(...): many ROIs, same modelexport_batch(...): export datasets / experiments (single or multiple ROIs)inspect_provider_patch(...): inspect raw provider patches before inference
This is a convenience index with basic model info only (for quick scanning / links). For detailed I/O behavior and preprocessing notes, see Supported Models.

Resolution here means the default provider/source fetch resolution used by the adapter, not the final resized tensor shape seen by the model.

We welcome requests for new model integrations and extensions. If you have your own work, or a model/paper you care about and think is meaningful to include, please open an Issue and share it. We will prioritize helping extend rs-embed for those requests.
If you want to implement the extension yourself, you can also follow the guide in extending.
We would like to thank the following organizations and projects that make rs-embed possible: Google Earth Engine, TorchGeo, GeoTessera, TerraTorch, rshf, and the Copernicus-Embed.
This library also builds upon the incredible work of the Remote Sensing community!(Full list and citations available in our Documentation)
