SSL4EO-L is a set of self-supervised image encoders for Landsat, with separate weights for Landsat 4–5 TM (top-of-atmosphere reflectance) and for Landsat 7 ETM+ and Landsat 8–9 OLI/TIRS (top-of-atmosphere or surface reflectance). They produce embeddings, or serve as a frozen backbone for segmentation and classification.

The TM and ETM+ weights reach back before Landsat 8, so work spanning decades can use encoders trained the same way on each sensor.

The code is MIT through TorchGeo, and the weights are CC0-1.0.
