Raster Vision is an open source Python **library** and **framework** for building computer vision models on satellite, aerial, and other large imagery sets (including oblique drone imagery).

It has built-in support for chip classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation with backends using PyTorch.


Examples of chip classification, object detection and semantic segmentation

**As a library**, Raster Vision provides a full suite of utilities for dealing with all aspects of a geospatial deep learning workflow: reading geo-referenced data, training models, making predictions, and writing out predictions in geo-referenced formats.

**As a low-code framework**, Raster Vision allows users (who don't need to be experts in deep learning!) to quickly and repeatably configure experiments that execute a machine learning pipeline including: analyzing training data, creating training chips, training models, creating predictions, evaluating models, and bundling the model files and configuration for easy deployment.

Raster Vision also has built-in support for running experiments in the cloud using [AWS Batch](https://docs.rastervision.io/en/stable/setup/aws.html#running-on-aws-batch) as well as [AWS Sagemaker](https://docs.rastervision.io/en/stable/setup/aws.html#running-on-aws-sagemaker).

See the [documentation](https://docs.rastervision.io/en/stable/) for more details.

## Installation

*For more details, see the [Setup documentation](https://docs.rastervision.io/en/stable/setup/)*.

### Install via `pip`

You can install Raster Vision directly via `pip`.

```sh
pip install rastervision
```

### Use Pre-built Docker Image

Alternatively, you may use a Docker image. Docker images are published to [quay.io](https://quay.io/repository/azavea/raster-vision) (see the *tags* tab).

We publish a new tag per merge into `master`, which is tagged with the first 7 characters of the commit hash. To use the latest version, pull the `latest` suffix, e.g. `raster-vision:pytorch-latest`. Git tags are also published, with the Github tag name as the Docker tag suffix.

### Build Docker Image

You can also build a Docker image from scratch yourself. After cloning this repo, run `docker/build`, and run then the container using `docker/run`.

## Usage Examples and Tutorials

**Non-developers** may find it easiest to use Raster Vision as a low-code framework where Raster Vision handles all the complexities and the user only has to configure a few parameters. The [*Quickstart guide*](https://docs.rastervision.io/en/stable/framework/quickstart.html) is a good entry-point into this. More advanced examples can be found on the [*Examples*](https://docs.rastervision.io/en/stable/framework/examples.html) page.

For **developers** and those looking to dive deeper or combine Raster Vision with their own code, the best starting point is [*Usage Overview*](https://docs.rastervision.io/en/stable/usage/overview.html), followed by [*Basic Concepts*](https://docs.rastervision.io/en/stable/usage/basics.html) and [*Tutorials*](https://docs.rastervision.io/en/stable/usage/tutorials/index.html).
