Classic NDVI can be fuzzy over bright soils and sparse canopies. We re-parameterized EVI with PSO for semi-arid mountains on Sentinel-2.
Have you tried scene-specific EVI tuning?

Our analyses of the Qutayfah and Dhumair mass graves consisted of more than 500 images (likely much higher when you count the use of streaming tiles) and the overwhelming majority were PlanetScope.

Update on the town of Al-Mughraqa in central Gaza: Looking at PlanetScope imagery from Planet Labs, we can see that as much as 94% of the town has now been destroyed. Of the hundreds of buildings in the town, very few remain standing and essentially all of the orchards have been destroyed.

Just for awareness of the area around Nasser Hospital and central/northern Khan Yunis, there's some partial @planet.com SkySat from yesterday showing an IDF outpost about 2.5km NE of the hospital and the heavy destruction that's taken place since June.
Most recent SkySat over Nasser was August 4.

Yes, the very high resolution imagery were key in confirming small details. But the near-daily cadence of PlanetScope enabled us to identify start and stop dates of activity, create vector datasets tracking the pace of reopening trenches at Qutayfah, as well as filling of new ones at Dhumair.

Alex Melancon assesses the usefulness of ICEYE X band #SAR data in combination with C-band #Sentinel 1 and optical Sentinel 2 and #PlanetScope data for #flood mapping.
X band is useful but the more susceptible to wind interference given the shorter wavelength

Quick geolocation by @annonemo.bsky.social of the deadly IDF strike on journalists in northern Gaza today.
While it's not clear where the journalists were filming before getting into the car, the location of the strike here is more than 3km from the border and IDF outpost constructed near it.

This area has so many pre-existing landslides that it will be really important to pay close attention when mapping the co-seismic failures. Some areas that look quite dramatic post-earthquake look... less dramatic when compared with the pre-earthquake imagery (3 April vs. 4 March PlanetScope images)

A few months ago, a leading figure in the commercial satellite biz, who did not work for Planet, told me that PlanetScope imagery is the most underused dataset in remote sensing. Consider me a cosigner. Here's why:

Yes! I would love to work for them. I’ve even used PlanetScope images in my academic research. I’ve applied a few times but haven’t gotten an interview with them yet.

Nearly all #EarthObservation-based #cropland maps across #SubSaharanAfrica include fallows in their cropland definition:

November 4 PlanetScope imagery from Planet Labs shows what appears to be mass demolitions in northern Gaza's Jabaliya neighborhood, not unlike what we've seen elsewhere.
In particular, many buildings in the area of 31.5317, 34.4958 near Jabaliya's main market appear to be destroyed.

Did you know we can see the fingerprints of rip currents from space? Well, we can now! Stop by our #AGU24 poster Monday morning to hear about the dataset we created using six years of PlanetScope imagery, which includes over 2,000 #CoastSat mapped images from three sites, and see what we learned :)
