Planet Overview

Leaf provides an integration with Planet, fetching PlanetScope images from a back-fill and forward-fill specified by the user. PlanetScope provides numerus categories of products from different satellite sensors called itemTypes and for each one, we have different assetType.

For now, we support PSScene with their respective assets ortho_analytic_8b_sr (13 images), ortho_analytic_8b (13 images), ortho_visual (2 images), ortho_udm2 and ortho_analytic_8b_xml. For more information on those assets check the documentation.

Note

Planet will continue to publish imagery to the PSOrthoTile item types until June 20, 2023. This way, this option will remain available in Leaf until the same referenced date. For more information: PSOrthoTile deprecation

Also, Leaf handles all the subscription process internally, in order to bring foward-filled images as area available from Planet.

See the Crop Monitoring API Reference for more information.
