Accessing Planet data from ArcGIS Pro

Can we access the Planet imageries in ArcGIS Pro and operate geoprocessing tools on the imageries without actually downloading them in our local machine? I am able to download the imageries from ArcGIS Pro using Planet add on, but I am working on huge number of imageries, and it would be easy if I could operate on the imageries without actually downloading them to my computer.

Q&A + Resources - Agile EO: Streaming and Sharing Planet Data

In the June Agile EO episode, we shared the upcoming improvements to the Planet Add-in for ArcGIS Pro (not yet released, but coming soon!).  In this new version of the Planet ArcGIS integration you will be able to store data in cloud data collections on Planet Insights Platform, and visualize it through streaming OGC services without downloading the imagery. Watch the webinar on-demand now to learn more or jump right in and download the add-in. Below are answers to questions from the live event and resources to get you started.             Question: Can you visualize a collection/ordered imagery in an ArcGIS Online webmap?Answer: Yes, you can stream imagery from data you deliver to a collection through OGC services. You can see an example of this in the recorded demo. Question: How do you access your Planet account in the add-in? Answer: You can log in to the Planet Add-in for ArcGIS Pro with the same credentials as you use for your Planet account. You can find steps for getting starte

Integrating Planet Labs Satellite Maps with Mapbox for a Consumer Mobile App: Product and Pricing Questions

I’m interested in integrating Planet Labs satellite maps into a consumer mobile app using Mapbox. Could someone explain how I can achieve this and which specific Planet Labs product would be best suited for this use case? Additionally, I’d like to know if the pricing is based on per-map-load costs tied to a specific resolution. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

NDWI formula for Planet 4 band imagery

I’m trying to generate NWI images from the Planet 4 band imagery in QGIS. Should I useNDWI = (Band 2 - Band 4) / (Band 2 + Band 4)or as a QGIS tutorial (Viewing a Flood Event with the Planet Explorer QGIS Plugin) suggestsNDWI = ((Band 2 * Band 2 coefficent) - (Band 4 * Band 4 coefficient)) / ((Band 2 * Band 2 coefficent) + (Band 4 * Band 4 coefficient))The first option seems to give results closer to downloaded Sentinel 2 NDWI imagery, and I’ve not seen option 2 published outside of that tutorial.NDWI = (Band 2 - Band 4) / (Band 2 + Band 4)

Securing Planet Api Key from client in wmts requests arcgis sdk js

I am using Arcgis sdk for js 4.xx  for my web app. My idea is to add planet basemap using wmts layer.const planetApiKey = "myPlanetApiKey"const activeLayerId= "mySelectedBasemap"            const custom_params = {              api_key: planetApiKey            }            const wmtsLayer = new WMTSLayer({              url: `https://api.planet.com/basemaps/v1/mosaics/wmts?`, // url to the service              activeLayer: {                id: activeLayerId,              },              customParameters: custom_params            });                        // Add the layer to the map            map.add(wmtsLayer);  this will, of course, expose my Api Key on my client side, Is there a way to hide my credentials using this approach ?,Thanks in advance.

Nicfi streaming issues on QGIS

I am using the planet explorer/nicfi plugin with QGIS to monitor forest loss in our project area. It is really useful. However I'm having issues with the streaming of imagery. I connect the monthly mosaics/streaming and it shows up in the layers. I can just click these on and off based on which month I want to view. Lately, these have not been refreshing (and not coming up at all) and i have to add the month in again as another layer (and delete the previous - not working layer) to get that month’s pictures up again.Not sure why this is happening now. My other staff working on this has no issue with the same set up!  I have a poor internet connection so am sometimes offline. I remember initially that it may have worked offline even with previous images still staying put. So the issue seems recent. Now even when i'm online with an OK connection, i can't bring up the previous layers and need to add new layers every time. It's a hassle.Thanks!!  Much appreciate any solutions.

Cloud Masking and Image Download for PlanetScope Imagery in Google Earth Engine

'm relatively new to the Planet API, having engaged with it for just over a week. Following the GEE-Integration guide, I've successfully exported data to Google Earth Engine. Now, I'm working on cloud masking for a cloud-free composite using the asset type "ortho_analytic_4b_sr" and the scene "PSScene". I have around 122 images in the collection. I've come across "udm2" for cloud masking but I'm uncertain about its implementation. Also, once the requirements are met, could you guide me on downloading it? I'm unclear on parameters such as scale and maxPixel; my attempt to download a single image seemed off from the expected result.Appreciate your assistance.

Creating data from satellite images

Hello.I have recently acquired an education and research standards account.I use this wonderful satellite imagery to study conflicts and wars around the world.The best example of this is the data file of Russian military trenches in Ukraine.This data is used in many OSINT maps.I previously created this file based on Sentinel-2 imagery using QGIS and thought the 3 meter resolution would improve the accuracy of the data.I am trying to download satellite imagery from Basemap and use QGIS to create new data. Is there any possibility of violating the terms and conditions?I have used translations and read the terms and conditions that might apply, but I do not see any such thing.I have included the actual data and images of the work made using sentinel satellite imagery.I would appreciate it if you could answer my question.

Unable to import Planets Multispectral PlanetScope Imagery into Google Earth Engine

I am doing multispectral geospatial analysis using pair of Planets (RGB, NIR) imagery band, for Sept 11 and October 18, 2016 with Google Earth Engine (GEE). My Planet Explorer search through my Planets account showed the pair of images are available as PlanetScope scene. However, the GEE snippet for importing Planets imagery seemed to be an experimental "Skyboard for Good Beta" program from 2015, found here: Planet SkySat Public Ortho Imagery, Multispectral  |  Earth Engine Data Catalog  |  Google for DevelopersWhen I run the code snippet in GEE, I get an error image that reads "Layer 1: Layer error: Expression does not evaluate to an image". Is there a GEE code for the type of images I need (PlanetScope 4 or 8 band imagery)? Is there some way to directly import Planets images into my GEE project folder?

Dust Detection with Planet Images

Hello everyone, I am studying dust storm effects in the oceans. I want to use satellite imagery to improve the results of my project. However, I am having issues with dust visualization in ArcGIS.I did a table with the following features:In the first column, you can see Planet explorer. On the left, you can see a clear day, while on the right, you can see a dusty day.On the second column, they are the same images after being downloaded and then uploaded in ArcGIS Pro. On the left, the uploaded image is similar to the one shown in Planet Explorer. However, on the right, the image is not dusty, it does not look like the top-right image. On the third column, I decided to use a Stretch (ESRI) on the image in ArcGIS Pro. Again, on the left, you see similar colors to the one visualized in Planet Explorer. On the image to the right, only the South West area looks different (perhaps dusty?) than the rest of the image. However, overall, the image still does not resemble the image visualized in

Messed up colors when importing Planet imagery into GEE- what mins and maxs do I use?

Hi,I thought I had posted this question yesterday, but it seems my post didn’t go through because I can’t find it anywhere. I’m having trouble with properly importing Planet imagery into GEE- the colors of my area of interest are skewed. Per this page: https://developers.planet.com/docs/integrations/gee/gee/ and my boss’s instruction, I tried both recommended sets of mins and maxs:For min 405.79 and max 4499.71 I got the following image, with hues of dark green and red: For min 190.00 and max 5322.00, I got the following image, with pale greens and browns:I’m aiming for more natural, Earth tone colors, like the example image below, which I was able to achieve the last time I imported Planet data into GEE, using min 190.00 and max 5322.00:Anyone know why my colors aren’t turning out this time? And why I have to keep switching the mins and maxs? Is there a trick to this? I’m a research assistant so I’m not totally familiar with the intricacies and lingo of these programs yet. Thanks for

Planet data in DataCubes

Hi Community,I feel there is a need to make the step from analyzing just a couple of eo images to analyzing hundreds or more images for many applications. Even local solutions involve many images. Building data cubes seems to be a good solution, I would like to hear what your experience is with (local) data cube environments or frameworks and Planet data! Some exciting solutions are around, such as rasdaman, opendatacube, and gdalcubes. Google earth engine seems to be working, but I don’t think I get the code to deploy GEE on our infrastructure. However, so far, I haven’t found reading procedure for planet data, whereas the usual (and boring 😜) Sentinel and Landsat data seem to be supported out of the box.It would be very interesting to get inspiration.Cheers 🤙,Christoph
