Hi at all,

at https://sentinel.esa.int/web/sentinel/missions/sentinel-2/data-products you may download

Sentinel-2 tiling grid in kml format (Sentinel-2 tiling grid kml) (nearly 100 Mb).

I tried to export it to SpatialLite and Shape polygons in order to work with inside a GIS more easily.

But till now, I haven't success to export geometry Placemark (no polygon nor lines).

By inspection them inside FME DATA Inspector, I see a complex structure --> IFMEAggregate made up by polygons and points. What I'm looking for!! But sure due to my illiteracy I can't find a manner to explode and extract and I just get or error on output or strange void features.

Any hints?

Best,

fz

Have a look at sentinelindex2shp.fmw.

 

 

If you don't need the attribute information, and just the TILE_ID, all you need to do is expose the kml_name on the reader, and deaggreagate/geometryFilter

Hi @frazucca1,

The Deaggregator transformer can break up the aggregates for you.

If you want only one type of geometry from the aggregate, you can use the GeometryFilter transformer with the option Homogenize Collections set to 'Yes'.
