Sentinelhub - copernicus and planet and the EO browser

I am a total novice trying to use sattelite data for our monitoring (and stopping hopefully) land encroachment in the forest we’re working in. I’ve been learning bit by bit QGIS - have been using the planet plugin for the monthly mosaics (with some issues i’ve mentioned in another post).We used to use the sentinelhub eobrowser until (i thought) it was discontinued last year and they told us to now use copernicus EO browser.Now back here at planet i see sentinelhub is back up! and i’m curious what the difference is between sentinelhub and copernicus.Also looking to add in these into my QGIS project -but wondering what the difference is .. they work similarly.. but are they indeed the same, is one better? or are both good? how different?All using only the free account options.A simple explanation as to how all these services are related would me much appreciated! Thanks so much.

Nicfi streaming issues on QGIS

I am using the planet explorer/nicfi plugin with QGIS to monitor forest loss in our project area. It is really useful. However I'm having issues with the streaming of imagery. I connect the monthly mosaics/streaming and it shows up in the layers. I can just click these on and off based on which month I want to view. Lately, these have not been refreshing (and not coming up at all) and i have to add the month in again as another layer (and delete the previous - not working layer) to get that month’s pictures up again.Not sure why this is happening now. My other staff working on this has no issue with the same set up!  I have a poor internet connection so am sometimes offline. I remember initially that it may have worked offline even with previous images still staying put. So the issue seems recent. Now even when i'm online with an OK connection, i can't bring up the previous layers and need to add new layers every time. It's a hassle.Thanks!!  Much appreciate any solutions.

SkySat 0.5m high resolution images

Hi I was trying to search SkySat 0.5m high resolution images on the Planet Explorer by checking SkySat scene and collect, somehow I couldn’t find anything anywhere. About half year ago, I could find these images at many locations. I saved a few links with for those search results and these links don’t work anymore. I just wondered if there is any change to the SkySat data archive lately? My search for 3m PlanetScope images is usually successful at many locations and date ranges.I would really appreciate it if someone could help me on this.

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

Integrating my Planet API Key with my Sentinel Hub Credentials ConfigurationNew

Currently, I can store my Sentinel Hub credentials in a configuration file and access them using Sentinel Hub Python package as documented here.If I need to enter my Planet API Key in the same workflow, I currently need to input this as a variable via a different method.As a user, it would be super neat if I could enter my Planet API Key as a variable into my Sentinel Hub configuration so that I can have one method to call my credentials with simplifying how to enter my credentials.

Integrating single-sign onNew

We currently maintain a shared quota for all users (students, faculty, researchers-- excluding labs with separate funding for their own Planet licenses) and have to try to equitably divide the quota for everyone on campus. Some of our students want to rely on Planet data for their thesis, some researchers hope to download millions of square km with regularity for their research. To try to ensure that a handful of users don’t consume our entire annual quota quickly, we’ve worked with Planet to designate each unique campus user as their own sub-org. Our Planet rep is stellar and has been very helpful in this process, but it does mean that users must reach out to us every time they need a quota increase, and we then need to contact the Planet rep to execute the quota increase. It can be tedious, and it would be very helpful to integrate single sign-on for campus users so we can easily control their download quota and adjust accordingly.

Planet Crisis Response - Hualien Earthquake, Taiwan

Hualien City, TaiwanPlanet’s Crisis Response Program has made available select non-commercial data for the recent earthquake affecting Hualien County in Taiwan. The 7.4 magnitude earthquake was Taiwan’s strongest in 25 years, has injured more than 1,000, and impacted thousands more. The initial earthquake and subsequent aftershocks have also triggered landslides, posing additional risks to residents in the region. Planet has collected initial data in the region, but we plan to make more imagery available as cloud cover and imaging conditions improve.This dataset is reserved for qualified users affiliated with organizations directly involved in or supporting response efforts. This dataset is made available under Planet’s non-commercial Crisis Response license and terms of use, and accessed through a secure web portal. Please contact crisis-response@planet.com for more information and to find out if you qualify for access.

Measure size of gathering/number of people

Hi, I’m a new user in Planet and I’d like to measure the number of people gathering for certain events in Mexico. What would be the best way of doing this?I know the date, time and location of events, which sometimes overlap with the timing when the satellite images are taken. I don’t know too much of remote sensing, but my idea was to measure the spatial distribution of image tone intensities, comparing images of a same location with and without the gathering.I’d appreciate if I could get any feedback on how to implement this! One of my questions is what is the appropriate meters per pixel that image that I should use? What is the minimum size of a gathering that I could detect?Example: I know that in this park (24.022724971695283, -104.67158198775181) there was a political gathering on June 21, 2018 around the time the image was taken. Hopefully, if there were enough people attending, I would be able to observe this, right?Thanks for any directions or suggestions!

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

Hi team Planet,I would like you to check if you can allow users to choose the aspect ratio for plant stories, for example take 1:1 or 9:16 or 4:5 images, thinking about sharing your content on other platforms where these proportions are the most used.Regards,

How to remove cloud cover from RapidEye?

Hi, Hope you are doing well. I have downloaded nearly 50 tiles of the wet tropical rainforest of Australia, and a few tiles have severe cloud cover even after applying the filter function of Planet Explorer.  So, how can I remove those clouds? Unfortunately, there are no reference images available without Cloud for those locations in near times (2019). I am using QGIS. Any suggestions in this matter are highly appreciated. Kind regards,Shawkat

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!!
