Let us know when you’re going to publish something, or present at a conference—we’d love to see what you’re doing with the data! Woody Island, South China Sea – March 28, 2018
Slide 9: Temporal resolution and areal coverage
• Unprecedented temporal resolution • Unmatched areal coverage at relatively high spatial resolution (3–5 m) ० Facilitates global-scale studies ० Allows for research in areas that might otherwise be neglected coverage-wise by other providers (i.e., remote areas) ० More chances for low/cloud-free cov

Slide 16: Dove-R improvements
He ( ie al Dove-R provides significant improvements to spectral resolution, image sharpness, and dynamic range over the older Dove satellites.
Slide 17: What is next generation PlanetScope imagery?
What is “next generation PlanetScope” imagery? This refers to improvements made to our flagship PlanetScope imagery on the sensor and hardware: • Richer color and vibrancy due to narrower spectral bands • Sharper images through the elimination of the color filter array Larger images with ~2x longer im
Slide 18: Dove-R benefits
● Richer color ● Aligned with Sentinel-2 bands ● Improved land cover classification ● Improved vegetation stress detection ● More accurate surface reflectance © Planet Labs Inc. 2019 - Proprietary and Confidential
