Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to FAQs about LuxCarta’s RF Planner - Region solution. 

What is Sentinel-2?

Sentinel-2 is an earth polar-orbiting satellite constellation (Sentinel-2A and 2B) designed to feed the GMES system with continuous and operational high-resolution imagery for the global and sustained monitoring of Earth’s land and coastal areas. The Sentinel-2 system is based on the concurrent operations of two identical satellites flying on a single orbit plane but phased at 180º, each hosting a Multi-Spectral Instrument (MSI) covering from the visible to the shortwave infrared spectral range and delivering high spatial resolution imagery at global scale and with a high revisit frequency.

How are land cover clutter layers generated?

Our method for creating clutter is composed of four steps and applies different strategies. The image is segmented, globally assigning image pixels into groups of like values or clusters. Then we create a Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) to separate the areas with vegetation cover from those without vegetation cover. Urbanized areas and impervious surfaces are detected by manual photo interpretation. Finally, a vector mask is applied to isolate water, coastlines, road and other linear features within the area of interest. The resulting classified image is then mapped to a standard land use, land cover (LULC) menu.

What are your sources for digital terrain models (DTM)?

The primary sources for our RF planning maps are SRTM (NASA), ALOS (ESA) or LiDAR.
