Open Data for Planetary Variables in Sentinel Hub

Planet recently released support for delivering Planetary Variables to Sentinel Hub. Check out this product announcement and this blog post if you’d like to learn more about what’s been released. To help you explore these new datasets and capabilities, we have also released open datasets for several of our Planetary Variables. We’ve opened these datasets to allow for anybody to explore what this data looks like or to test workflows.As part of this open data release, data is available for Land Surface Temperature, Crop Biomass, and Soil Water Content. There is 4 years of data from 2019 to 2022 across 4 areas of interest in Uruguay, India, Germany, and the US. You can explore more information about these collections here: https://collections.sentinel-hub.com/tag/planetary-variables/. By clicking through to the specific Planetary Variables, you’ll be taken to their open data pages, such as this Soil Water Content Open Data page.To make it simple to use these open datasets, they have

Q&A + Resources - Agile EO: Fast, Flexible Tasking

In the April Agile EO episode, we introduced Single Order Tasking with our partners at SkyFi. Single Order Tasking allows you to fulfill ad hoc projects or individual tasks with a 100% online, pay-as-you-go self-service portal. Watch the webinar on-demand now or jump right in and get started with Single Order Tasking. Below are answers to common questions and some questions that we weren’t able to get to during the live event. Our hosts, Mark Jeffrey, Partner Business Manager at Planet, and Claire Fundingsland, Customer Experience Director at SkyFi, have provided answers, plus resources to learn more. Question: What happens if my image is cloudy?Answer: For Flexible Tasking, we guarantee a maximum cloud cover of no more than 15%. For Assured Tasking, you are booking the satellite to capture an image at a specific date and time, so we recommend checking the forecast prior to booking to ensure a clear day as we do not guarantee a maximum cloud coverage for assured tasking.

Slight spatial misalignment in PlanetScope/RapidEye imagery

Hello!I have a set of scenes of the same area, but there’s some slight misalignment between them (like 3 or 4 pixels), this usually isnt a problem, but I need the most precission possible for my use case (measuring coastal recession), so even a small misalaignment could change results greatly. This happens between images from different and same sensors, so it isnt a result of using different sensors (at least i dont think so),beacuse i have some that are correctly aligned. Also, i used the same AIO to download the images from PlanetScope, so the images have the same extent and are clipped to the same area. My question is, is there any way to download scenes that are correctly aligned, or should I fix it manually? (or is there a faster way to automatically align them?) Thanks everyone!

Issues with opensearch.sentinel-hub.com for images later than February

We’ve had a pipeline running for years now, whenever we need to process imagery for a new geometry, we use the sentinelhub python library to identify relevant historical images for said geometry.This library actually makes a simple request to the url http://opensearch.sentinel-hub.com/resto/api/collections/Sentinel2/search.json with the bounding box and date ranges.Recently, we’ve noticed that we haven’t been getting newer images. After some investigation, it seems that the endpoint is not properly returning newer images (since March, from our tests).As you can see, using a test bounding box we manually created a request to that endpoint, getting a total of 0 images since march:But increasing the range to February, we get images as expected:Searching directly for more recent data on the same tile, we can see that newer images do exist:aws s3 ls --request-payer requester s3://sentinel-s2-l2a/tiles/14/T/LL/2025/4/ PRE 12/ PRE 14/

Some doubts about Processing API and PU usage

Hello everyone.I'd like to clarify a few questions regarding the Processing API and the use of Processing Units.About the Processing APIIs there any way, such as a REST API or endpoint, to retrieve only the dates of the images?Some Sentinel-2 L2A images, depending on the region, may have variations in temporal resolution. What is the explanation for this?About Processing UnitsDo you know if PUs vary when using the same request parameters but changing only the area? If there's no variation, how many PUs does it typically consume, for example, to process the NDVI of a 50-hectare area at 10-meter resolution?Thank you!

Rendering PlanetScope scene in QGIS appears incorrect

I downloaded 8-band analytics ready surface reflectance PlanetScope scenes for a study. I want to create a visualization of one of the scenes with QGIS. However, when I load the scene in QGIS as a raster, it doesn’t look like the agricultural field I’m expecting. I made sure to assign the bands as red = 6, blue = 2, and green = 4.This is how the scene looks in Planet Explorerscreenshot of planet explorer showing a selected image in an AOIThis is how the PlanetScope scene looks rendered in QGISQGIS with the PlanetScope scene in the drawing area The scene looks like an odd mosaic of colors. I realize that the resolution of the underlying NAIP image might influence how the scene might be perceived, but honestly, the scene looks like an odd mosaic of colors. How can I get the scene to render in QGIS the way it looks in Explorer?

Count of days with images meeting filter criteria in Explorer

I have an extensive list of small AOIs and am manually screening them to download the useful images for my project. Is there an easy method to get the total count of days with images that meet my filters and dates in each AOI? Each day shows up in the Daily Scenes panel and on the timeline at the bottom of the map, so this information exists, but doesn’t seem readily available. Thanks!

Best Practices for Visualizing Clear Pixels from UDM2 in ArcGIS Pro?

Hi all,I’m working with PlanetScope SuperDove UDM2.1 data in ArcGIS Pro and I’m trying to better understand how to interpret and visualize clear pixels in the UDM RGB composite.As I understand it, the default RGB band mapping is: Red = Clear Green = Snow Blue = Shadow To work around this, we’re also testing the individual UDM bands using Extract Bands and the Raster Calculator, creating binary layers like:Con("UDM2_B1" == 1, 1, 0) (assuming Band 1 = Clear), so that: 1 = clear pixel 0 = not clear This is giving us a more direct view of which pixels are flagged as usable. Are we on the right track with that approach?I'd love to hear how others: Visualize or validate clear pixels in RGB composites Work with UDM2 bands in ArcGIS Pro or QGIS Apply symbology or classification to quickly identify good pixels for analysis We’re using this for water quality and algal bloom detection, so identifying usable pixels accurately is important for our downstream work.Any advice, workflows, or

Hi. I’ve noticed that in some images (3/3 so far), the udm layer has some shifts across scenes for one same tile/overpass. This complicates the application of cloud masks.

Non consistent surface reflectance values

Hello everyone, I am using PlanetScope Scene images already corrected in surface reflectance (Dove Classic) to assess the temporal changes of the vegetation cover on a specific site. As the site is about 30 km long, I need to use several tiles to cover the whole area. I have recently noticed that the reflectance values of the pixels of two overlapping images are quite different (even if the images were taken by the same satelitte, at the same time).Do somebody know why do I oberve this ? If yes, do somebody know how can I solve and obtain consistant surface reflectance values between overlapping tiles ? I thank you in advance for your answers, Léo

Issue with PlanetScope product type 'Harmonized'

Hi, I’m having issues with the ‘harmonized’ PlanetScope data products.I have been downloading several such scenes and after saving the extracted data folders on disk, the products seem not be the harmonized versions of the scenes. I posted a related question in the forum some months ago but I realize that, from my part I correctly choose the data product to be ‘harmonized’ (please see attachment temp_screenshot.jpg) while ordering. Nowhere in the downloaded files (.tif extension, manifest json file) is there an indication of the product being harmonized, it looks like an ordinary surface reflectance composite scene.For reasons I don’t understand, on the only 2 instances where I received properly annotated ‘harmonized’ products, the extracted folder had a different structure (attachment temp_screenshot_2.jpg). Usually each downloaded product gets extracted in a single folder that contains the ‘manifest’ and ‘catalog’ files.I would really appreciate some assistance/ clarifications here.

Expanding Batch Order Options Beyond Major Cloud Providers: Can Customer-Owned S3 Storage Replace Hosted Solutions?

Are batch orders exclusively supported on hosted cloud servers, or can customers use their own S3-compatible storage? In other words, why are we locked into providers like AWS and Google Cloud? Customers without access to those cloud services can take advantage of the subscription and tasking services offered by Planet. Is it possible to develop a batch order solution that’s more universally accessible without requiring specific cloud platforms?
