Skysat item types (processing levels)

Only SkySat Collect items are managed for now: https://developers.planet.com/docs/data/skysat/

COLLECT = 'SkySat Collect Product'#

A SkySat Collect Product is created by composing roughly 60 SkySat Scenes along an imaging strip into an orthorectified segment, approximately 20 x 5.9 square kilometers in size. They are represented in the Planet Platform as the SkySatCollect item type. This product may be easier to handle, if you’re looking at larger areas of interest with SkySat imagery. Due to the image rectification process involved in creating this product, Collect is generally recommended over the Scene product when the AOI spans multiple scenes, particularly if a mosaic or composite image of the individual scenes is required. Collect performs necessary rectification steps automatically. This is especially useful for users who don’t feel comfortable doing orthorectification manually.

SCENE = 'SkySat Scene Product'#

A SkySat Scene Product is an individual framed scene within a strip, captured by the satellite in its line-scan of the Earth. SkySat Satellites have three cameras per satellite, which capture three overlapping strips. Each of these strips contain overlapping scenes, not organized to any particular tiling grid system. SkySat Scene products are approximately 1 x 2.5 square kilometers in size. They are represented in the Planet Platform as the SkySatScene item type.

VIDEO = 'SkySat Video '#

A SkySat Video Product is a full motion video are collected between 30 and 120 seconds by a single camera from any of the SkySats. Its size is comparable to a SkySat Scene, about 1 x 2.5 square kilometers. They are represented in the Planet Platform as the SkySatVideo item type.
