Data Wrangling (High Res)
Here is a Powershell script to download the tiled images from the Consilium VM: The private key needs to be named p2kaggle.pem in the local directory. Input parameters are:
- image: '104001002B124500' or '10400100265ED400'
- tile: the tile number ranging from 0 to 49 for '10400100265ED400' and 0 to 160 '104001002B124500'
.\download_images.ps1 -image 104001002B124500 -tile 64
From trial and error the tiles of overlap are:

Notable Aspects
The images are geoaligned but do not line up properly, as shown in the following image:
In order to overcome this, a preprocessing step which includes image alignment utilizing open-CV is being investigated. <a href="https://www.learnopencv.com/image-alignment-ecc-in-opencv-c-python/" class="external-link" rel="nofollow">https://www.learnopencv.com/image-alignment-ecc-in-opencv-c-python/</a>
