Unable to add images to cart on Planet Explorer

Selecting images that can be viewed in Planet Explorer and adding them to the cart is no longer possible. There is no cart icon available. I am a participant in the Education and Research Program. Have I reached my monthly download limit? Last month, I actually went a touch above my limit a little. I also tried to download a past order again to see if the order itself could be placed. However, assets are not configured.

KeyError: 'id' when placing API order

Hello! I’m replicating the code found at this link https://github.com/planetlabs/notebooks/blob/master/jupyter-notebooks/Orders-API/ordering_and_delivery.ipynb with my own set of images and am receiving the error in the screenshot below when trying to place the order. For reference, I’m trying to pull all available analytic_8b_sr_udm2 products that overlap with my specified area of interest.I’m unsure if this is a problem with the API, the images I’m trying to order or the way I’ve written the code. My code is exactly the same as the one linked, except I performed a paginated quick search first and then copy and pasted the resulting item id list into the request code. That item id list has 786 image ids in it. Any insight someone can provide about what is causing this error and how to fix it would be so appreciated!

Confused about image resolution

Greetings all,By my own admission, I am very new at the satellite imagery usage and processing, so I am confused about the image quality (resolution) that I am seeing in the images downloaded.I am downloading a series of images that have a GSD of 3.7m, so this should allow me to resolve an object of about 9m.When I open the images in ArcGIS Pro, the images are really pixelated, and I cannot even clearly see the outline of houses.Here are some item IDs that I have downloaded today 20230921_151412_22_242d, 20230820_155500_02_247d, 20230705_150612_29_2420, 20230530_151402_74_24cc, 20230403_150804_41_2431, 20230723_150707_37_2460And here is a sample of the images I see on my screen, viewed at a resolution of 1:3,672. Heck, I get better resolution from Google Maps imagery (but not the 8 band spectra) like the Planet images have. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

What's the easiest way to download data over a long temporal range?

I'm new to PlanetScope and to mapping. My question is which is the easiest and most time efficient way to download my site data from Planet? I find using the Planet Explorer clear and easy to use, and it lets me clip the image data to just my sites, which is very good as it prevents me from going over my quota. However, I want to download the data for my sites across their whole temporal range (2016 to present day). As far as I can tell, the explorer won't let me do this easily as I have to manually click each scene and press the "load more" button.I've also tried using the official Planet plugin for QGIS. It is cool that it loads Planet data directly into QGIS, but I don't see any option to crop scenes down to just the pixels I want. I also don't see the option to bulk select scenes within a date range. Lastly, I've attempted to use the APIs that Planet provides, but this is challenging because I'm only familiar with the R programming language, so I keep encountering errors. Furthermo

Prior to the expiration of Planet’s previous CSDA contract with NASA I had been using the Planet API to download Planet SuperDove imagery straight into Google Earth Engine. When the contract expired, I lost access to imagery via the API but am hoping that is now reinstated. Have any changes been made to Planet access via the API with the new CSDA contract? Specifically, I’m curious about limits on 8-band SuperDove imagery downloads, as my project requires a lot.

Expected Time for Downloading Batch

Hello Planet community! I am looking to perform my first batch download and am wondering if it’s possible to get a ballpark estimate of how long this will take. I have a script prepared in Python using Planet’s API that will facilitate the retrieval and download of about 240 images from PSScene (3m resolution). To anyone with experience doing this, how long will this download process take? Should I run it before going to bed to give it enough time, or is it more recommended to try a parallel processing approach? Any tips are appreciated.

How is Scene Download usage calculated?

I downloaded PSScenes for two locations yesterday. One location’s extent was 0.003 km2, the other was similar. I downloaded 9 daily scenes for one location and 4 for the other. I got 8 bands for each day. My thinking, the total area for one location is 8 (bands) X 9 (days) X 0.003 km2 = 0.216 km2 for one location. The other location is about half that, since I had half as many days. However, my account dashboard says that I’ve used 1300 km2 this month, even though those were the only downloads I’ve done this month. Can someone clarify this for me, please?

Albedo estimation from Visible and NIR

Hello Everyone!I am a beginner, and I am trying to explore the possibility of estimating surface albedo using PlanetScope data. Since there are several established relationships between the visible and NIR bands from Landsat 8 and Sentinel-2, I was wondering if anyone has explored the use of PlanetScope data for surface albedo estimation.Can we use the visible and NIR bands from PlanetScope data to estimate surface albedo?I would really appreciate any help or insights.

Transition from Sentinel Hub EO Browser to Copernicus Browser - 2 questions

I have a browser based webapp that allows users to jump directly to a location in the EO Browser at specific zoom/date (known to be visited by Sentinel-2).This allows them to visually assess the utility of Sentinel-2 product without the barriers of knowing about calendar or tiles or having to do a login (anonymously) - to see public data.I now note that this EO Browser convenience is going away: If the user persists and clicks Use Anonymously they are met with a second modular block:where they must click Stay in EO Browser. My questions are thus:Can Sentinel-2 data be viewed in Copernicus browser anonymously? Can one deep-link to such a location/date/zoom specified view in Copernicus browser?

PlanetScope VIs calculation

Hello I’m a beginner in GIS and have a few questions about calculating vegetation indices (VIs). Here are the details of my process: I have PlanetScope images (4 bands, 3B_AnalyticMS_SR). I successfully calculated NDVI, and the result was as expected, ranging from -1 to +1. However, when I tried to calculate EVI using this formula (2.5 * (NIR - Red) / ((NIR + 6 * Red - 7.5 * Blue) + 1), the results were strange, ranging from about -8000 to 6000. To address this, I normalized the band values (since some values exceeded 10,000) by dividing by 10,000. But even after that, some values were still greater than 1, which didn’t help. Then, I found a suggestion from somewhere in this community that I should convert the bands to TOA reflectance using coefficients from the metadata because the initial values are in Digital Numbers (DNs). After doing this, I got EVI values within the expected range of -1 to +1. But I’m not sure if this solution is correct. So, I have a few questions:Is the solutio

Skysat - Vegetation Indexes

Dear allI’m working with a set of images collected through satellite tasking and would like to calculate some vegetation indexes such as NDVI and EVI. I have downloaded the TOA and SR images (both 16-bit unsigned raster). I tried re-scaling each band by the maximum pixel value before calculating the indexes and it seems to work for NDVI but not for EVI, which returns indexes completely out of range (for both, TOA and SR). This result makes me wonder if the NDVI I calculated is correct. Does anyone have experience with something similar and can recommend a procedure or reference to a material that can help me understand how to work with the imagery for this purpose?ThanksCM

Query Regarding Vegetation indices

Hi!I have been trying to compute some vegetation indices suing 8band PS data. The generated NDVI his in its range of -1 to +1 but I am not able to get the suitable range for other indices like EVI, EVI2 etc. These indices are coming up in ranges of -4000 to +5000 with most of the data concentrated between 0 and 2. Could you please tell why is it happening?I am using Qgis for the computation of these indices.

Resources and Q&A - Agile EO Webinar: 3 m Forest Carbon Monitoring

In October’s Agile EO episode, 3 m Forest Carbon Monitoring, we introduced the world's first 3 m-resolution and quarterly-updated map of every tree on Earth that brings accuracy, transparency, and trust to nature-based solutions for climate change. Watch the webinar on-demand here. Below are some questions we received during the event and resources to learn more. Questions Question: What is the minimum tree size you can detect?Answer: The monitoring product provides area-based estimates, rather than tree-based estimates. In other words, it is not explicitly detecting and delineating individual trees. However, visually, signals of individual trees can be apparent in the data in some cases, e.g., sparsely vegetated systems with large trees. These signals are more likely for large trees (crowns larger than the 3 m pixel size), and trees with heights greater than 4 m.
