beautiful maps without clouds. Is the 15m/20m per pixel high enough resolution for agricultural analysis?
How does Google get satellite view data without suppliers?
Same kind of thing can be done to satellite imagery:http://www.wired.com/2013/05/a-cloudless-atlas/
Is the data open source and available without using google earth?
I assume this data is still in OpenStreetMap and imagery remains available via PlanetLabs and similar commercial remote sensing companies?
maybe https://landsatlook.usgs.gov/ ? if that resolution is fine enough.
Higher res imagery from Planet: https://twitter.com/planetlabs/status/1291010972983992320
Planet is Medium Resolution, not high res like in Google Earth. Plant is roughly 4m resolution where google is sub meter resolution. But yes, planet now has access to 100% earth's landmass daily.
Currently researching this myself? Have you explored the satellite images from ESA/NASA? They are painful to discover but they're available to download for free and fairly (3-6 months) up to date.
Global, realtime, full definition satellite imagery.http://satview.skysight.io/I have been meaning to spin this off into a SaaS. I don't know of anywhere you can actually get the full definition imagery as a slippy map, everywhere else cuts corners and loses fidelity.Contact me if you would find it useful...
