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?

How to a I create a Geometry Filter from geojson file in Python?

Hi,Is there a way to create a Geometry Filter using defining the AOI directly from a geojson file in Python (ideally using geopandas)? The only examples I am seeing in tutorials is about copy-pasting coordinates, but I hope there is a more automated way to do this.Thank you!

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. Question: Are there areas of the world where this product is less reliable?Answer: We are currently developing a valida

Analyze Planet Data with R and the Statistical API

R is a powerful statistical data analysis tool. Planet data like PlanetScope or Forest Carbon are datasets which are well suited for statistical analysis because they are multi-temporal with many observations; daily in the case of PlanetScope and yearly in the case of Forest Carbon Diligence.When analyzing how locations have changed over time, one method is to calculate zonal statistics over specific areas of interest to summarize a value, such as index (e.g. NDVI) or Aboveground Carbon Density for Forest Carbon. To extract zonal statistics from Planet datasets, you can use the Statistical API.Using the Statistical API to extract statistical information is a great way to speed up analyses in R. You can calculate zonal statistics for long time series over many areas using cloud computing. You don’t need to download any images to do this, you only will be downloading summary statistics, so you can focus on doing statistical analysis in R.The Statistical API works on data that is store

Interpreting /stats responses

Newby-question here: /stats returns often show millions of “counts” for my searches. for example:{ "count": 10181598, "start_time": "2016-01-01T00:00:00.000000Z" },Compared to the planet explorer GUI online results with what is (I assume) the same filters, this is an extraordinary difference. I imagine that some of the metadata type files are also included in the “count” in this example, but it still seems like a very high number for my search criteria (which included, for this example, included item_type, permission, publishing, cloud, daterange, and geometry filters all fairly strict). How should I interpret the “count” value from the endpoint response? Are there indeed over 10 million images that meet this criteria? Here is the filter structure for this search: # Search filter setupitem_type = ["PSScene"]AssetFilter = { "type": "AssetFilter", "config": ["ortho_analytic_4b", "ortho_analytic_4b_sr"]}PublishingFilter = { "type": "StringInFilter", "field_name":

Updating Subscription Geometries

Just got word that a few farmers submitted inaccurate geometries for their fields (maybe 7 or 8 fields in all). I looked at the sentinelhub API and there doesn’t appear to a means for updating a subscription so assuming I need to delete these 7 or 8 subscriptions and then subscribe to them again with the correct geometries? If this is not the case, please let me know. Was thinking there might be a way to just update the geometry for each field subscription but maybe not. Thank you.
