Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS)
These new vegetation indices offer the same near-global coverage, and 30-meter spatial resolution as the initial HLS products.
The release of the HLS codebase gives product users greater visibility into the project’s image processing pipeline.
The purpose of the Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) project led by IMPACT, is to combine two or more data streams into a single data set and increase their value.
In partnership with IBM, NASA constructed the first geospatial foundation model specifically trained with Earth observation satellite imagery.
