Orbica Explorer
summary
A simple web app called Explorer lets non‑GIS users inspect Sentinel‑2 and Landsat imagery with a time-slider to compare two dates, on‑server pan‑sharpening and preprocessing via Sentinel Hub, and a backend Python API for analytics. It exposes 50+ indices, a polygon statistics service that returns time‑series differences, change notifications, and animated GIF export. Challenges include cloud masking, mosaicking and Sentinel Hub’s limited Landsat cache for the southern hemisphere, so an Open Data Cube with Landsat back to 1985 is planned.
