Important Update: Sunset of EO Browser and Sentinel Hub Dashboard

I like it

Can you show me a sample of the new platform?

Why is the image quality of Corpernicus so much worse than that of EO Browser? Can you explain? I took two screenshots on the same day, from the same location, and the difference is very clear.

There should be no difference between the data available on Copernicus Browser and the old EO Browser. This looks like a different visualisation. When in Copernicus Browser you can swap between the True Color and the enhanced True Color visualisations depending on your use case.

Hello Williamray, I'm glad you listened to my question and responded. I think it's not just me who sees that Copernicus's image quality is inferior to EO Browser; many people in the community feel the same way. You mentioned layers like True Color or Enhanced, so I'll take another screenshot to confirm that the image quality is still worse than EO Browser. It's noticeably blurrier and more indistinct. Look at the building to see the difference, and compare it to the EO Browser image I posted in the previous comment. Do you agree? I'll also send you a link to the location in the image so you can check it yourself.

Thanks 

Hi, as previously said there is a difference in the evalscripts (which determine the visualisation), the different image effects can give the effect of degraded image quality but this is purely visual. Before comparing again, make sure that the evalscripts are indentical (by default the true color visualisation in Copernicus Browser is different to EO Browser) and make sure the zoom level is also identical (you can check this in the URL as you zoom in and out in the Browser). 

Hope this helps you out :) 

Dear Ely,

As you are already aware, the whole Gulf region is now in a flaring political tension and a stage for devastative military operations and aggravating war. Apart of the terrestrial ecosystems, the marine environment of the ROPME Sea Area and the region are now under increased pressure and more risk due to recurrent oil spillage and marine vessels strikes, etc.

In view of these conditions, I think that remote sensing specialists and environmentalists and not only myself are in a bad need to keep the Sentinel Hub and EO Browser operative and not deprecated possibly until the end of the current war or to another closer date. The idea is that this satellite data source is a simple and fast that can be accessed freely by public users and specialists, as well. Its deprecation will result in cut of important and vital source for satellite images for very large number of users.

Therefore, I would humbly suggest that you revise your decision about the date of depreciation of the EO Browser not for me but for sake of the environment and all environmentalists.

I am quite sure that your environmental sense and understanding to the present situation will have a positive impact towards your decision and respond to this request.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Regards.

Dr Wahid Moufaddal

P.S I sent a similar request to info@sentinel-hub.com
 

Hi ​@ROPME Org 

Thank you so much for providing your feedback, we appreciate it! 
 

The deprecation of EO Browser should not affect any API users, as we have deprecated only the UIs, not the APIs. Here are 2 UI alternatives:

• Browser on Planet Insights Platform for customers mostly working with Planet data
• Copernicus Browser for customers mostly working with public data

Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
