Satellite Imagery

The Satellite Imagery category covers everything about pulling, processing, and exporting remote sensing data. AccEarth gives you one-tap access to Sentinel-2, Landsat 8/9, ASTER, MODIS, and several commercial sensors, with cloud filtering, atmospheric correction, and spectral index calculation already built in. Whether you need a single NDVI snapshot for a farm visit or a full multi-year time series for a research paper, this is where to start.

Step-by-step guide

Draw a polygon on the map, pick a satellite and a date range from the calendar, and tap "Generate". AccEarth handles scene selection, cloud filtering, and atmospheric correction in the background.

Open the layer menu and pick True Color, False Color Composite, NDVI, NDWI, or any of 12 pre-built indices. You can also build a custom band combination if you have a specific use case in mind.

Pick the same area and tap "Time Series" instead of "Generate". Choose a date range spanning weeks, months, or years, and AccEarth will produce a side-by-side comparison you can scrub through like a video.

Open any generated image and tap the download icon. Choose GeoTIFF (for GIS), PNG (for reports), or JPG (for sharing). Each download includes a metadata sidecar with the acquisition date, satellite, and processing history.

Pick any two images of the same area and tap "Compare". AccEarth highlights the differences and quantifies them — useful for change detection, construction monitoring, or environmental damage assessment.
