build_and_predict_mosaic_recipe()

Build a mosaic and run model inference using a pre-configured recipe associated with a specific model. This convenience method combines mosaic building and inference into a single workflow using a model recipe that defines the input datasets, model, and inference parameters. 
def build_and_predict_mosaic_recipe(self, aoi: str)

​
Parameters

​
aoi
str
required
Remote URL path to the area of interest GeoDataFrame.
​
start
datetime
required
Start date for the temporal range of the mosaic.
​
end
datetime
required
End date for the temporal range of the mosaic.
​
model_recipe
ModelRecipes
required
Pre-configured recipe that defines the datasets, model, and inference parameters to use. Available recipes are defined in the ModelRecipes enum.
​
crs_epsg
int | None
EPSG code for the coordinate reference system of the output. Consider using a UTM-specific EPSG code (e.g., EPSG:32610 for UTM Zone 10N) to avoid reprojection/resampling if your AOI falls within a single UTM zone and the model recipe uses a UTM-projected dataset. If None, defaults to the native CRS of the underlying datasets for the model recipe, which are often UTM-projected. Default is None.
​
runtime
RuntimeEnum
Compute resources to allocate for the workflow execution. Options defined in RuntimeEnum (e.g., SMALL, MEDIUM, LARGE). Default is RuntimeEnum.SMALL.
​
envs
dict[str, str] | None
Additional environment variables to pass to the workflow execution. Default is None.

​
Response

​
return
str
URI of the output Zarr store containing the inference results.

​
build_gti_mosaic()

Build a Zarr mosaic from a GDAL Tile Index (GTI) vector file. See https://gdal.org/en/latest/drivers/raster/gti.html for more information. Note: The GTI tile index must:
  1. Have a geometry column corresponding to the spatial extent of each tile
  2. Have a column pointing to the remote URL of each GeoTIFF/COG
  3. Contain homogeneous bands across all entries
Additional recommended metadata as described in the GDAL docs will improve performance or quality of the mosaic.
