The Sentinel-2 MSI SAFE Raster reader provides FME with access to data in the Sentinel-2 MSI SAFE format.
Overview
The European Space Agency’s Sentinel-2 is an imaging mission involving satellites carrying the Multispectral Instrument (MSI). The MSI captures images in 13 spectral bands at resolutions of 10 meters, 20 meters, and 60 meters. It is designed to be used for applications such as spatial planning, environment & water monitoring, and forest & vegetation monitoring.
Sentinel-2 MSI SAFE Level-1C products are comprised of a folder structure containing a manifest file as well as subfolders for image data, product information in XML format, and other metadata. Level-1C products contain a single data-take, which is a continuous acquisition of image data. A data-take is comprised of granules or tiles, which divide the entire capture area into smaller regions. Each tile is stored as a set of JPEG-2000 images, each image containing the data for one of the 13 spectral bands.
Reader Overview
The reader supports UTM coordinate systems in the dataset. A raster may contain tiles that cross UTM zone boundaries, but the raster will be treated as belonging to one zone.
Each SENTINEL2 dataset produces a single feature per resolution per UTM zone.
Each SENTINEL2 product folder contains an XML file that is prefixed with S2A. The reader processes this XML file.
FME Raster Features
FME raster features represent raster data and use several concepts that are unlike those used in the handling of vector data. See About FME Rasters.
