ESA WorldCover 10 m 2020 V100 InputQuality¶

The ESA WorldCover 10 m 2020 V100 product is delivered in 3x3 degree tiles as Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs (COGs) in EPSG:4326 projection (geographic latitude/longitude CRS). There are 2651 tiles and more information on accessing this dataset can be found here. The current collection focused on the Input Quality layers only, the Map layer is available in Google Earth Engine as an image collection.

The input quality layer is a per pixel quality indicator showing the quality of the Earth Observation (EO) input data. The layer is a 3 band GeoTIFF with

• Band 1: Number of Sentinel-1 GAMMA0 observations used in the classification workflow

• Band 2: Number of Sentinel-2 L2A observations used in the classification workflow

• Band 3 Percentage (0-100) of invalid S2 observations discarded in the classification workflow (after cloud and cloud shadow filtering).

Combining Band 2 and Band 3 yields the total absolute number of valid Sentinel-2 L2A observations used in the classification workflow.
