Planet uses different naming schemes for different types of images.
The following will explain how you can interpret the different IDs.
PlanetScope
The name of each downloaded PlanetScope image product is composed of acquisition date (YYYYMMDD), acquisition time (in UTC), satellite ID, product level, product type, and file extension. For example:
20190109_015005_1020_3B_AnalyticMS.tif
is composed of 2019-01-09 (acquisition date), 01:50:05 (acquisition time), 1020 (satellite ID), 3B (product level), AnalyticMS (product type), and .tif (file extension).
In cases where two images were captured in the same second, an extra uniquely-identifying counter is added after acquisition time to distinguish between the images. For example: 20151027_145652_1_0b0d_3B_Visual.tif
RapidEye
For RapidEye Ortho Tiles, each downloaded image product is composed of tile ID, acquisition date (YYYY-MM-DD), satellite ID, product level, product type, and file extension. For example:
3241621_2017-03-05_RE4_3A_Visual.tif
is composed of 3241621 (tile ID), 2017-03-05(acquisition date), RE4 (satellite ID), 3A (product level), Visual (product type), and .tif (file extension).
Note: The tile ID that is part of the RapidEye file name corresponds to the rapideye.tile_id element in the scene metadata. If you wish to locate the tile ID number spatially, you can download the reference Shapefile here https://hello.planet.com/data/s/npfN6dqiJhYtbOM
For RapidEye Basic Scene, each downloaded image product is composed of acquisition date (YYYY-MM-DD), acquisition time (in UTC), satellite ID, product level, product type, and file extension. For example:
2018-12-03T083453_RE4_1B_band1.tif
is composed of 2018-12-03(acquisition date), T08:34:53 (acquisition time), RE4 (satellite ID), 1B (product level), band1 (product type), and .tif (file extension).
SkySat
The name of each downloaded SkySat image product is composed of acquisition date (YYYYMMDD), acquisition time (in UTC), satellite ID, tile ID, product type, and file extension. For example:
20190115_083109_ssc4d1_0030_visual.tif
is composed of 2019-01-15 (acquisition date), 08:31:09 (acquisition time), ssc4dl (satellite ID), 0030 (tile ID), Visual (product type), and .tif (file extension).
Basemap
The naming scheme for quad IDs within each basemap is available in the basemap as the
quad_pattern property. It is generally L{level}-{X}E-{Y}N, where level is the the max zoom level for the mosaic, and X and Y are the x and y position of the quad in the grid for that zoom level. A sample quad ID is L15-1023E-2465N
, indicating that this mosaic has a maximum zoom level of 15 (or 4.77m per pixel) and that this particular quad is in the position 1023, 2465 in the two dimensional grid that makes up the basemap.
