I've been trying to download all the .tif files and while most of them do get downloaded for some an error occurs. This would be fine if they were only in the training set but some testing data also gets left out. I'm using the starter notebook provided by Zindi to download my data.
Same here. close 1000 rows with no images downloaded for training set.
In the case of the training set there are certain ranges of dates with no images (I'm guessing due to clouds). In such dataset this tends to happen for rows with pretty small date ranges (there are registers with "unrealistically" short differences between Harvest and Sowing, even less than 10 days). Such thing also happens on the test set.
Also, while in the test dataset the rows with Harvest date before Sowing date where eliminated, there ares still rows that fullfill that condition on the training set. Thus, setting an invalid date range for the tiff files download.
How can I address this issue of missing images in the test set? If it was in the training set, I could just skip them but I can't make submissions without a complete test set
