ESRI Tutorial Data
A raster dataset of PlanetScope and SkySat imagery covering the Prey Lang Wildlife Sanctuary in Cambodia from January 2020 to March 2026.
An important characteristic of satellite imagery data is its resolution. There are four primary types of resolution: spatial, temporal, spectral, and radiometric. In a series authored by ESRI, each of these resolution types is defined and demonstrated using ArcGIS. Planet imagery, alongside other satellite imagery sources such as LandSat and Sentinel, is used in each tutorial to show how different types of resolution impact workflows and decision making.
The Cambodia Imagery dataset in this collection is highlighted in the Temporal Resolution Tutorial in this series, and shows an illegal logging road being built in the Prey Lang Sanctuary in Cambodia. The high temporal resolution and global coverage of PlanetScope data allowed this road to be detected and shut down before major logging occured. To learn more about this use-cae, see the Case Study in the links section.
The dataset was created by Planet Labs, in April 2026.
