INTEGRATED AND BUILT FOR SCALE
Planet’s fully-automated, cloud-based imagery platform downloads, processes, and manages 5+ terabytes of data every day. Built for speed and affordability, our platform enables customers to build tools, ingest data, and run analytics at scale.
Fully-automated imagery processing
Planet’s imagery pipeline corrects for a variety of factors and delivers analysis-ready data, without costly post-processing or manual intervention.
- Orthorectification removes collection geometry, pointing error, and terrain variability distortions
- Radiometric corrections correct for sensor artifacts and transformation to at-sensor radiance
- Top- and bottom-of-atmosphere corrections reduce spectral inconsistency across time and location
