Are you trying to create a collage of satellite imagery that fully covers your AOI with minimum overlaps and cloud cover ?

Are you manually picking the scenes one by one? Looks like a long way to go.

Manually picking the scenes one by one.

Lets try to automate this process, We would be using :

  1. ArcGIS Pro
  2. Image Management Workflows
  3. Sentinel on AWS which requires an AWS account which would be charged for the data you download from this bucket

→ Get Imagery Metadata

We would get S2MSI1C scenes, as required by the imagery management workflow tool.

  1. Make sure you have installed sentinelsat in your environment.
  2. You can use the following notebook then.

→ Get Imagery

  1. Install and configure AWS cli from this URL https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-install.html
  2. Install these dependencies in your environment geopandas, boto3.
  3. You can use the following notebook then.

→ Create Mosaic

Download the Imagery Management Workflow toolbox from here https://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e6e1f20cb0374d28a6eed24f5c2ff51b

  1. You need to be an ArcGIS Pro Python environment and you can use the following notebook then.

TADA Done !!!
