Working Toward Planetary Scale Location Insights

Recent innovations in agile aerospace have created unique offerings in high cadence satellite imagery. While this is of immense interest to imagery analysts, a significant portion of GIS professionals and geo-data scientists work less with raster data (AKA imagery) and more with point and vector data. Planet operates the world's largest constellation of earth observation satellites providing near-daily coverage of the entirety of Earth's landmass. Over the past couple of years, we have been working on bringing computer vision and spatiotemporal analysis to market to enable access and data transformations on this rich imagery archive. We recently announced the general availability of our analytic feeds and the launch of our building change detection analytics in private beta (sign up for info here).
