Planet Overview
Leaf provides an integration with Planet, fetching PlanetScope images from a back-fill and forward-fill specified by the user.
We generate 4-5 multi spectral bands and a total of 10-11 images between RBG and NDVI GeoTiffs. PlanetScope provides numerus categories of products from different
satellite sensors called itemTypes
and for each one, we have different assetType
. For now, we only support PSOrthoTile
and the assets analytic_5b
and analytic_sr
for more information on those assets check the documentation.
Also, Leaf handles all the subscription process internally in order to bring foward-filled images as area available from Planet.
The following table shows all the images with its resolutions and types: (TIFs are EPSG:4326, PNGs are EPSG:3857).
Name | Resolution (m) | Type | Projection |
---|---|---|---|
NDVI.png | NULL | png ndvi | EPSG:3857 |
RGB.png | NULL | png RGB | EPSG:3857 |
NDVI.tif | 3 | tif raw ndvi values | EPSG:4326 |
NDVI_color.tif | 3 | tif colored ndvi | EPSG:4326 |
RGB.tif | 3 | tif RGB | EPSG:4326 |
B01.tif | 3 | single band | EPSG:4326 |
B02.tif | 3 | single band | EPSG:4326 |
B03.tif | 3 | single band | EPSG:4326 |
B04.tif | 3 | single band | EPSG:4326 |
B05.tif * | 3 | single band | EPSG:4326 |
* A fifth band will be available by using the assetType
: analitic_5b
(red egde band) were the default value is
analitic_sr
which are images with atmospheric reflectance correction.
