Sentinel-1

The Sentinel-1 imagery is provided by two polar-orbiting satellites, operating day and night performing C-band synthetic aperture radar imaging, enabling them to acquire imagery regardless of the weather. Main applications are for monitoring sea ice, oil spills, marine winds, waves & currents, land-use change, land deformation among others, and to respond to emergencies such as floods and earthquakes. The identical satellites orbit Earth 180° apart and at an altitude of almost 700 km, offering a global revisit time of 6-12 days depending on the area (check observation scenario). Sentinel-1’s radar can operate in four modes. The spatial resolution depends on the mode: approx. 5 m x 20 m for IW mode and approx. 20 m x 40 m for EW mode. See Copernicus services for more details.

DEM

DEM (digital elevation model) is a 3D representation of the terrain's surface created from terrain elevation data. It can be used for terrain analysis and orthorectification, which helps improve the accuracy of satellite imagery. With DEM, you are able to measure and analyze your area of interest or integrate data into a 3D application as a terrain data source. Sentinel Hub is using MapZen's DEM, available through Amazon Web Services (AWS) in US. This dataset is based on SRTM30 (30 m resolution) but is in several places improved with local datasets. It is static and does not depend on the date (the values are updating as MapZen is improving the dataset). Read the blog post on how to explore the DEM dataset and see our API documentation for details.

PlanetScope (Commercial)

PlanetScope satellite constellation consists of more than 130 small satellites called Doves. The satellites are launched in groups, which constantly improves mission's characteristics such as revisit times, spatial and spectral resolutions. PlanetScope data complements Sentinel-2 with better spatial resolution (3m) and almost global daily coverage. It is an excellent source for vegetation monitoring. For more information on PlanetScope, visit our documentation page.

The spectral bands of PlanetScope data are the following:

B1 - Blue, resolution 3m

B2 - Green, resolution 3m

B3 - Red, resolution 3m

B4 - Near Infrared, resolution 3m

Airbus Pleiades (Commercial)

Pléiades constelation is composed of two twin satellites orbiting the Earth 180° apart. The satellites deliver the incredible global 0.5 m spectral resolution imagery. Pleiades' satellites share the orbit with SPOT satellites, which makes it possible to combine the data form both sources. The Pléiades data with its high spatial resolution is suitable for a wide range of remote sensing applications such as vegetation monitoring, precise mapping, as well as risk and disaster management. To learn more about Pleiades, visit our documentation page.

The spectral bands of Pleiades data are the following:

B0 - Blue (430-550 nm, resolution 2m)

B1 - Green (490-610 nm, resolution 2m)

B2 - Red (600-720 nm), resolution 2m

B3 - Near Infrared (750-950 nm), resolution 2m

PAN - Panchromatic (480-830 nm), resolution 0.5m

Pleiades's RGB bands are in 2 meter spatial resolution. To take advantage of the 0.5 m PAN band, the pansharpening process is required.

Airbus SPOT (Commercial)

SPOT 6/7 is a satellite constellation providing very high-resolution optical imagery and is owned by Airbus. It is composed of two twin satellites orbiting the Earth 180° apart. The satellites deliver 1.5 m optical imagery and offer a daily revisit capability to any point on the globe. SPOT 6/7 data with its high spatial resolution is suitable for a range of remote sensing applications such as vegetation monitoring, precise mapping, risk and disaster management. To learn more about SPOT, visit our documentation page.

The spectral bands of SPOT data are the following:

B0 - Blue (454-519 nm, resolution 6m)

B1 - Green (527-587 nm, resolution 6m)

B2 - Red (624-694 nm), resolution 6m

B3 - Near Infrared (756-880 nm), resolution 6m

PAN - Panchromatic (455-744 nm), resolution 1.5m

SPOT's RGB bands are in 6 meter spatial resolution. To take advantage of the 1.5 m PAN band, the pansharpening process is required.

Note: Because Pleiades and SPOT bands are very similar in wavelengths, the same custom scripts are used for both constellations.

Data fusion

The combination of multiple remote sensing data sources can provide invaluable information that would not be obtained with a single sensor alone. Observation-level or pixel-based fusion combines pixels from different sources to form an image containing new information (more information). Two widely used examples of pixel-based fusion are pan-sharpening and the fusion of radar and multispectral optical images. On the one hand, pan-sharpening consists of blending a high-resolution panchromatic image with a lower resolution multispectral image to obtain a high-resolution multispectral image. On the other hand, the combination of radar and optical imagery provides images with increased spectral resolution that can mitigate the drawbacks of each product (such as cloud cover for optical images), but also provide increased temporal resolution with more frequent overpasses.

CORINE Land Cover

In 1985 the 'Coordination of Information on the Environment' (CORINE) programme was initiated by the European Commission. It aimed at collecting environmental information on high priority topics for the European Union (air, water, soil, land cover, coastal erosion, biotopes, etc.). Since 1994, the established databases and programmes are managed by the European Environment Agency (EEA). The CORINE Land Cover (CLC) inventory is a vector-based dataset that consists of 44 land cover and land use classes.

CORINE Land Cover data is available in our public collections.

Global Surface Water

The Global Surface Water dataset was developed by the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) within the framework of the Copernicus Programme. It is derived from Landsat 5, 7 and 8 imagery and shows various aspects of the spatio-temporal distribution of surface water between 1984 and 2020 (with annual revisions) at the global scale in six different layers.

  1. Occurrence - Intra- and inter-annual frequency of surface water presence in the entire time range.
  2. Occurrence Change Intensity - Changes in water occurrence between two epochs, the first ranging from 1984 to 1999 and the second covering 2000 to 2020.
  3. Seasonality - Intra-annual distribution of surface water in the selected review year.
  4. Recurrence - Inter-annual variability of surface water presence in a defined water period within the entire time range.
  5. Transitions - Visualises changes in the three surface water classes (1) not water, (2) seasonal water, and (3) permanent water between the first and last year in the entire time period.
  6. Extent - Maximum extent of surface water bodies in the entire time range.

Global Surface Water data is available in our public collections.

Please check the official Global Surface Water website for more details. Detailed information on the processing methodology for the included layers can be found in the Data Users Guide and Pekel et al. (2016) as the associated scientific publication.
