Wetlands are important to water quality, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity, and have been identified as a management priority across Canada. Reclaiming wetlands that have been impacted can be a long-term, costly process depending on the type of wetland, location, and potential access constraints. One challenge with wetland reclamation is that the work may cause additional or new wetland impacts during access and execution of the work. Concurrent with wetland reclamation priorities, there ...
The talk presents how multi-band SARs (X-band Iceye, C-band RADARSAT-2 and L-band SAOCOM) support various earth observation applications, such as target identification, change and displacement detection, and soil moisture map generation. Furthermore, it presents MDA's next-generation Chorus constellation (combination of C-band and X-band SARs).
As part of Planet’s ethos of ‘agile aerospace’, we continually invest in the latest hardware and software advancements to improve the PlanetScope image quality. This dataset began life as a relatively simple 3-band image using commercial, ‘off-the-shelf’ hardware components. Through customer feedback, both software and hardware improvements were tested and launched, resulting in a second-generation of PlanetScope, or ‘Dove’ satellites. Replacing this second generation of satellites involved a...
