GISDay@Stanford with Planet Labs

Real-Time Satellite Monitoring with Planet

With roughly 200 Dove satellites in orbit, PlanetScope Monitoring provides a high-resolution, continuous, and complete view of the world from above, every day.

Planet Monitoring provides 3.7 meter resolution images of the entire Earth daily. Access to these ready-to-use images is made simple with Planet’s APIs, web application, and GIS integrations.

Description:

Join us for a comprehensive day of workshops and discussions centered around improving your skills using Planetscope Daily Imagery, particularly focusing on the utilization of Planet's APIs and image processing with Python. This event is designed for those keen on advancing their understanding of leveraging Planetscope Imagery, at scale, for research and teaching.
