I have downloaded several planet PS Scenes, all of them are captured by PSB.SD. According to https://developers.planet.com/docs/data/planetscope/, the image size should be 32.5 * 19.6 km2. However, when I use python to load the tiff file and print the numpy array shape, I get following results. All images have different size, and some are significantly smaller than others, like (547, 13063). Why is it like this? I can provide the file name if it is necessary. Thanks.
I used QGIS to calculate the area of footprints of some of the images and this is what I am seeing. These seem correct to me. I realize that scene footprint size and the actual tiff tiles aren’t 100% same but they are close enough in SuperDove images that I am confident these are also the size of the tiffs. I’d need to get someone else to help you with using numpy in case there is something else going on.
The 32.5 * 19.6 km2 metric provide is approximate and not exact.
Hello! My name is Mariana Curdoglo and I am the Product Manager of PlanetScope images. Do you much providing couple of example of scene ids? I can take a look and see if there are issues with them?
