analytics building detection commercial data high resolution imagery land cover mapping planetscope road detection sandbox data
Globally available land cover maps derived from Planetscope imagery classifying pixels as road, building or neither. Generated on a weekly or monthly basis, Planet's Road & Building Detection can be used to stay up to date with the latest development around the globe.
By leveraging a semantic segmentation model on all the PlanetScope imagery published in a given area for a given week or month, we assign a probability value (0-255) that the pixel represents a road, building or neither object.
These results are aggregated together into a weekly or monthly layer and this process is repeated through time, generating a time-series of pixel values ready for analysis.

| Name | Description | Values |
|---|---|---|
| roads | Road Detection | [0-255], (the greater the pixel value, the greater the likelihood that the pixel is classified correctly) |
| buildings | Building Detection | [0-255], (the greater the pixel value, the greater the likelihood that the pixel is classified correctly) |
| other | Neither Roads nor Buildings | [0-255], (the greater the pixel value, the greater the likelihood that the pixel is classified correctly) |
| alpha | Alpha mask | [0/255], 255 indicating valid pixels, 0 indicating invalid pixels |
