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.
