Has anyone used Planet data to look in depth at archeological sites?
Archeological Sites
+1- Planeteer 🌎
Yes! Multiple folks have used the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) to look for signs of archaeological sites based on plant growth patterns.
These folks used SkySat in Rome: https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/14/4/959/htm
These folks used NDVI from RapidEye in Egypt: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2352409X17300561?via%3Dihub
And these folks used PlanetScope NDVI and some other indices in Romania:https://www.mdpi.com/2072-4292/12/12/1975/htm
