Monthly NDVI values with a Education and Research Standard (PlanetScope) subscription

Hello geowizars,I have a question. I would like to use monthly or quarterly mosaic data for my analysis and I saw that there are also montly or quarterly NDVI mosaics available. But I do not see how to get them? I tried everything, in QGIS, ArcGIS, Planet Explorer, Planet Orders, etc. Has this to do with my Education and Research Standard (PlanetScope) subscription? Bye, Bart

Creating DEM or DTM data

DearI have a problem. I have an academic account and they guided me that I am eligible for 5,000 km2 of 3m data with Planet's Basic Research Account. I want to create a DEM or DTM file from the Planet Explorer, but I do not know how to do that. I have some questions:Does Planet Explorer be able to create DEM or DTM data? If yes, how could I download it or create a TIF or txt file and download it? My study case is in “Ponzano di Civitella del Tronto” in Italy. Does it cover this area?Thanks for your response,I look forward to hearing from you,Sincerely,Amir Farshadfar

How to get an up to date reference on the size of the PlanetScope Constellation?

I need a current reference for some general information on the size of the PlanetScope constellation for a scientific article. Even on the Planet website there are multiple values for the size of the constellation:130+: https://developers.planet.com/docs/data/planetscope/#:~:text=PlanetScope%2C%20operated%20by%20Planet%2C%20is,3%20meters%20per%20pixel%20resolution. updated March 2024. ~200 https://www.planet.com/products/monitoring/180+ https://www.planet.com/products/planet-imagery/ Which would be the best value to accurately present the size of the constellation?

Imagery in Planet Explorer not loading at full resolution

Hi,I have a “Planet’s Basic Education & Research” account. And since some weeks ago, the daily imagery on Planet Explorer is not loading at full resolution. In fact the resolution displayed in the main map window see to be the same than the thumbnail image on the left bar with available dates. I can still order the image and I can download it in full resolution, but I can not see it at full resolution in the explorer as I used to do.Anyone knows why this happens?Thanks!!

Unable to access monthly basemap full resolution images

Hello!I joined the Education and Research Program very early. I have always been able to access the basemap full-resolution data and quarterly full-resolution data. However, after I just logged into the system, I found that I could no longer access the full-resolution data. The prompt was "full resolution". Rates require purchase. I would like to know what the current policy is on this area. Is it true that personnel in education and research programs cannot access it? Looking forward to your reply！

Hello,I’ve been trying to figure out what HTTP request I need to create to get a surface reflectance base map.Here’s the code I’ve created, which can download RGB basemaps. Am I missing a tag or field to get the surface reflectance basemaps?Also I’m on the student/educational API planAlso, I believe I attempted to post this same question last week, but I got something along the lines of “the mods will review your post”, but I don’t think anything ever happened there...# This code is all in a class, but I don't think pasting the entire file is relevantself.ORDERS_API_URL = 'https://api.planet.com/compute/ops/orders/v2'# Order api stuff for basemaps def download_basemap(self, session, request, download_location, file_prefix): #POST request to get data headers = {'content-type': 'application/json'} response = session.post(self.ORDERS_API_URL, data=json.dumps(request), headers=headers) print(response.json()) #Construct url for getting request status

Question about Hi-Res imagery download

Greetings all,First of please allow me to say that I am brand new to this platform, and I am not super familiar with all that it has to offer (I am slowly making my way through the Planet University vids) so go easy on me ;) Currently I am working with a student who is interested in detection of invasive plant species based on their spectral signature. For this I need Hi Res imagery (0.5m/px) of my area of interest, which already exist in Planet Explorer.I am not able to download these two images (or better yet, I do not know how to download) for my student project. (20210624_190141_ssc10d1_0015, and 20210624_190141_ssc10d1_0014) The “Order Scenes” button is grayed out.Currently, there is no reason to task new image acquisition because at this time of the year, the plants have already shed their foliage, and I cannot wait until next summer, the project needs to be finished before April. Any guidance is greatly appreciated,Ovidiu

One of the members of the NICFI Satellite Data Program asks for support on how to run code, at scale, in Google Earth Engine. If you have experienced and solved a similar problem, let us know if you are able to help! You can also check out this thread.“Currently, I am engaged in a significant endeavor to map forest cover. I am utilizing images from the multispectral Planet mosaics as part of the NICFI initiative, which has proven to be a valuable resource for this activity. However, I am facing significant challenges in processing this data at a national scale, particularly in terms of excessive resource consumption, such as memory, when conducting large-scale analyses (800k sqkm) on the GEE platform. Within the scope of this project, I have been trying to divide the national surface area down to the provincial level to address this issue. Unfortunately, I am still encountering considerable memory overruns. I would like to inquire whether you might have any suggestions for optimizing t

Education and Research Account

Hello,I am reaching out to you in connection with my ongoing master's thesis, which involves the analysis of satellite images. I am currently utilizing a standard Education and Research Account. As my thesis progresses, I anticipate the need for a larger volume of data, and I am concerned that the freely available download area may not be sufficient for my requirements.Is there a possibility to extend the monthly download limit for my account. If such an extension is available, could you please provide details on whether it is a complimentary service for educational and research purposes, or if there is a cost associated with the additional data access? thanks in advance!

Planet Labs Basic Student Account

I recently just got a basic student account for Planet Labs. With this account am I able to download images from planet explorer? If so, for some reason I can not. All I can seem to do is zoom in on the map and look around, but it is very blurry. I have looked at a few courses and other materials, but can not seem to figure it out. The picture below is from my Planet account. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am also reaching out to customer support.

Satellite EO for Ground EO: Pilot in Ethiopia

Indexing the Earth requires satellite data and ground data, but the latter are lacking. Satellite imagery allows us to observe from above the places that we mainly observe from the ground. This gives us a unique perspective of the places where we live, and an advantage to better understand our changing environment as compared to our ancestors who observed the Earth from the ground only. Now, the problem is that the systems that we are building to monitor the planet use mainly this new perspective from above, but not the perspective from the ground. Remote sensing cannot capture information such as the use of a building, a pond or a (sacred) tree; or crop and livestock diseases; or biodiversity under the tree canopy; or where are the fuzzy boundaries of a grazing or hunting area. Understanding land use change requires, fundamentally, land user-generated information.The figure above shows the map created by agro-pastoralists communities in South West Ethiopia (left), a PlanetScope scene

A virtual flyover of illegal mining activity in the Upper Caroní River Basin (Venezuelan Amazonia)

The Venezuelan government makes it practically impossible to fly in Southern Venezuela, so we wanted to create a virtual flyover of the Venezuelan Amazon to show the areas affected by illegal gold mining activity in the upper Caroní River basin. We partnered with VE360 to make the video. The SOSOrinoco team to selected and downloaded Planet-NICFI monthly basemaps in the Basemaps viewer on the Planet Explorer web. Using the free program QGIS and a computer capable of handling the nearly 90GB of data, the team made 5 mosaics, representing close to 50,000km2 of real-world terrain. One of the problems we encountered was the selection of the appropriate images due to the high cloud cover in the basin, which could only be achieved with the monthly mosaics that present images with the least amount of cloud cover possible, since they are a summary of the best daily PlanetScope images. We used the layer of mining activities surveyed in this basin to date by SOSOrinoco using Planet Explorer imag

Analyzing Forest Cover in Indonesia with Planet-NICFI and Sentinel-2 Data

A research group mapped the forest cover of Indonesia based on combined Planet-NICFI and Sentinel-2 data. They benefited from the random forest approach. One of their objectives is to show how this method is simple and efficient for image classification as well as to achieve a high accuracy in classification by implementing high-quality image data. They evaluated their dataset to assess model performance and compared it with another forest cover dataset. Check out their research in more detail, and stay tuned for the upcoming user stories!
