KyFromAbove-STAC-AddIn Browser

KyFromAbove-STAC-AddIn Browser is an ArcGIS Pro add-in for searching, previewing, and downloading aerial imagery, DEM, and LiDAR point cloud data from the Kentucky From Above open data registry on AWS leveraging the STAC API -- without leaving ArcGIS Pro.

It adds a dockable KyFromAbove-STAC-AddIn pane with tools to build an area of interest from the map, filter by collection and date, run a STAC search, and add or download the results, all backed by a standard STAC API.

Features

  • Search the built-in KyFromAbove STAC catalog, or bring your own STAC API and search it alongside (or instead of) the built-in one.
  • Area of interest tools: draw a point/line/polygon on the map, use the current map extent, use an existing layer's selection or full extent, or load an AOI from a .shp/.geojson file -- even before a map is open.
  • Filter by collection, date range, and free text.
  • Preview results with thumbnails and a hover card showing the full item detail (the raw STAC JSON) -- selectable, and with any asset/thumbnail URL clickable.
  • Add to map individual raster (COG) results, or build one merged mosaic dataset from all of them.
  • Download selected assets (raster or point-cloud) in parallel, with a cancelable progress dialog.
  • Footprints: draw result footprints on the map to see coverage at a glance.

Where to start

Built on open standards

The add-in speaks plain STAC -- the same API style used by Development Seed's TiTiler and stac-fastapi projects. Any STAC API that supports /collections and /search can be added as a source; see Bring Your Own API.
