Document MODIS data sampling #311

Open yellowcap opened 2 months ago

yellowcap commented 2 months ago

Added Modis to our training data set using stacchip.

Most of the work went into finding a reasonable projection for the data, which comes in SIN grid originally. The processor reprojects the modis tiles into web mercator. The prechipping and stats were working almost out of the box 🚀 .

@yellowcap can you share more about the projection choice? From what I remember we do not reproject in other cases, correct?

@brunosan Based on my discussion with Daniel, default projection of MODIS had a lot of empty pixels, so he had to reproject them into Web Mercator & slice to areas that are best available. Yes, we don't reproject any other data source.
