Error when passing in ee.Projection() as parameter for open_dataset()

[mhutchinson-woolpert]

Good afternoon,

I've tried to reproduce one of the examples from the website, but rather using a different dataset (Sentinel-2). The goal was to open the dataset using the same projection as the satellite image. So far these have been tried:

• Using an ImageCollection constructed from a specific image EE path
• Using an ImageCollection created via filtering
• Using a manual ee.Geometry.Rectangle
• Using the geometry in EPSG 4326
• Using the geometry in EPSG 32605 (same as the image)

# ic = ee.ImageCollection(ee.Image('COPERNICUS/S2_SR_HARMONIZED/20230728T221531_20230728T221534_T05WPU'))
ic = ee.ImageCollection('COPERNICUS/S2_SR_HARMONIZED').filter(ee.Filter.eq('PRODUCT_ID', 'S2A_MSIL2A_20230728T221531_N0509_R115_T05WPU_20230729T014233') )

rect = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-148.46380797863654, 70.30003598701754, -148.39544465908497, 70.32308553183186)
# rect_projected = rect.transform(ic.first().select(0).projection(), 1)

xr_ds = xarray.open_dataset(ic, 
                            engine='ee',
                            projection=ic.first().select('B4').projection(),
                            geometry=rect)

Version 0.0.12 of Xee is being used.
Note that other data has been loaded successfully using Xee (different parameters, different datasets etc.), so it's not an issue related to installation or dependencies.

The error can be seen below:

I took a quick look. Xee doesn't do a great job exporting data in this image's native projection. Earth Engine batch export tools are the way to go for something like that.

I think you've hit a bug. We calculate the specified region's bounds in EPSG:32605 projection and it ends up being a complex multi-polygon (which Xee isn't equipped to deal with). You could consider using a different projection for the output (EPSG:4326 for example).
