How-To Guides¶
Use the how-to pages when you already know the task you want to do and want the canonical written guide for it.
If you are still learning the basic workflow, start with Getting Started, then Concepts, then Migrating from Rasterio.
How-to pages are grouped by the kinds of tasks people usually do next:
- bringing data into Rasteret
- reading from collections
- enriching collections for downstream workflows
- training and multi-dataset use
- managing collections and cloud access
| Guide | Use it when you want to... |
|---|---|
| Migrating from Rasterio | Compare Rasteret's collection-first shape with manual rasterio/STAC loops |
| TorchGeo Integration | Use a Rasteret collection as a TorchGeo GeoDataset |
| Build from Parquet and Arrow Tables | Create a collection from an existing Parquet, GeoParquet, DuckDB, Polars, or Arrow source |
| Bring Your Own AOIs, Points, And Metadata | Pass business tables from GeoPandas, DuckDB, Polars, PyArrow, or SedonaDB into pixel reads |
| Point Sampling and Masking | Sample point values or control polygon masking behavior |
| AEF Embeddings | Work with AlphaEarth Foundation embeddings through Rasteret |
| Multi-Dataset Training | Compose Rasteret-backed TorchGeo datasets or merge xarray outputs |
| Collection Management | Build, import, inspect, export, reload, and filter collections |
| Dataset Catalog | Browse built-in datasets and register local dataset IDs |
| Custom Cloud Provider | Configure requester-pays or authenticated cloud access |
When a notebook and a how-to page cover similar ground, the how-to page is the canonical written reference and the notebook is the guided walkthrough.
