Today, we’re thrilled to release Analysis-Ready PlanetScope (ARPS). ARPS harnesses a cutting-edge proprietary algorithm to create harmonized and spatially consistent near-daily stacks of images that enable time-series analysis and machine learning applications. ARPS normalizes data from PlanetScope’s daily 3m imagery by reducing inconsistencies between captures. It then harmonizes that data with temporally […]

We are excited to share the power of Planet satellite imagery with Amazon SageMaker’s geospatial capabilities. Our partnership has the potential to revolutionize agriculture and sustainability insights by combining geospatial data with machine learning and cloud architecture.  In this blog, the application of a crop segmentation model on top of Planet high-frequency […]

Last week Planet engineers helped organize the Analysis Ready Data (ARD) Research Workshop in Menlo Park, California, an event where great minds met to tackle the burning topic of how to make ARD operational in 2019. The event’s purpose was to educate and create collaborations across various industries, including data analytics providers, […]

Last week, we partnered with Google to bring together technology experts to explore the next wave of insights and applications being built upon geospatial datasets. Moderator Marshall Burke lead the conversation joined by Fei Xue, Machine Learning Specialist at Google; Planet’s own Gopal Erinjippurath, Sr. Director, Analytics Engineering; Pierre Massat, Head of […]

Earlier this week, Planet announced its vision to index physical change on Earth and make it searchable for all. Today we’re unveiling a major step toward realizing this vision – the beta release of an exciting new solution called Planet Analytics. Planet Analytics leverages machine learning to transform our global, daily satellite […]

I’ve spent the better part of my career in more traditional enterprise SaaS software, so my recent move to Planet has been both a challenge and a breath of fresh air. I was lucky enough to attend the ESRI User Conference in San Diego – an illuminating experience as my first industry […]

At Planet, we’ve been pursuing Mission 1: to image the entire Earth’s landmass every day. I couldn’t be more excited to announce that we have achieved our founding mission. Six years ago, our team started in a garage in Cupertino. Mission 1 was the north star: we needed to build the satellites […]

The amount of data is growing exponentially. The amount of labeled, clean data is not. Every advance in machine learning is built upon a well-labeled dataset. Technology companies all over the world use the ImageNet library to train computer vision and machine learning algorithms; and modern facial recognition technology was built on […]

I am ecstatic to announce today that Planet has struck an unprecedented deal with the geo- analytics company, Orbital Insight. Together, we’re making a strong expansion into the financial sector. This partnership represents some of the most exciting trends happening in the geo world. And the reason is simple: Five years ago, […]
