Parquet-cached COG metadata cuts satellite image cold starts from minutes to seconds.
Strengths
- •Solves the exact repeated-header-parsing problem in satellite ML workflows with measurable 20x speedup
- •Integrates seamlessly with TorchGeo, DuckDB, xarray without forcing API changes
- •Shareable Parquet index captures reproducible scene selection and band metadata for teams
Weaknesses
- •Audience limited to geospatial ML practitioners; narrow domain applicability
- •No Windows support mentioned, dependency on rasterio/GDAL ecosystem
