The new item thumbnails are amazing for getting a visual impression of the data in a client application like STAC Explorer!

Unfortunately, for many collections in our VEDA Earthdata catalog which are on global lat/lon grids (e.g. fldas-soil-moisture-anomalies), they do not mount well on the preview map in STAC Browser:

I guess the thumbnail is not reprojected and just a dump of the native grid (equirectangular, i.e. regular lat/lon), while the little preview map is using Web Mercator. Preview thumbnails in native map projection are more informative than reprojected ones, I'd say, but it just does not look good...

Btw, Planetary Computer STAC / STAC Browser has the same issue with preview thumbnails for global gridded datasets, e.g. https://radiantearth.github.io/stac-browser/#/external/planetarycomputer.microsoft.com/api/stac/v1/collections/noaa-cdr-ocean-heat-content/items/ocean-heat-content-2020-Q2-2000m?.asset=asset-rendered_preview

Can we fix this somehow, so the preview images show nicely on the STAC Browser map - or we disable this map, because it will be wrong for most datasets? (btw, no is also an acceptable answer...)

Acceptance criteria

  • STAC Browser does not show a wrong map representation of the preview thumbnails

I wonder if setting dst_crs in the renders params would address this?

Nice, yes, the preview does get reprojected with dst_crs=epsg:3857. Not sure the bounding box is well preserved, though?

This one in particular gets weirdly expanded towards the north.

4326 is where we are coming from (native projection). We do need 3857 for the Web Mercator map in STAC Browser, I guess...

🤔 I tried putting the dst_crs epsg:3857 in the collection renders config just to see if the browser handled it any better. Nope

Yes, all the Leaflet map does is take the PNG and place it within the given bbox (from STAC). So the long PNG gets used as-is.

I'm pretty sure the preview should be in EPSG:4326, the issue then is to know which bbox (in epsg4326) correspond to image returned by the service

Which bbox does STAC Browser use to mount the image on the map?

https://github.com/radiantearth/stac-browser/blob/37064de0d5eaf9538c27e50239f6b7507e47140f/src/components/Map.vue#L291-L297

Looks like stac.extent.spatial.bbox[0] for collections and stac.bbox for items.

And why do image and that bbox not match?

?
