 # GeoGrapher
 
-*GeoGrapher* is a Python library for building remote sensing
-computer vision datasets starting from vector features
-(e.g. locations or georeferenced bounding boxes or segmentation maks).
-It connects the features and images by a bipartite graph that keeps
-track of the containment and intersection relations between them making
-it suited for *object-centric* tasks. GeoGrapher also provides highly
-general and customizable dataset cutting functionality as well as other
-utility functions.
+*GeoGrapher* is a Python library for building _object-centric_
+machine learning datasets from remote sensing data—starting with a
+list of objects (vector features such as locations or polygonal
+segmentation masks) rather than a specific area. At its core,
+GeoGrapher leverages a bipartite graph structure to efficiently
+associate objects with relevant geospatial data, solving common
+challenges in object-centric dataset construction. It provides
+flexible, customizable cutting of large remote sensing rasters,
+ensuring precise data extraction.
