Introduction To Google Earth Engine: Technical Support Division (TD)

Google Earth Engine is a platform for analyzing geospatial datasets. It hosts huge satellite imagery and public datasets that can be accessed via JavaScript APIs. Compared to Google Earth, it enables analyzing large datasets with user algorithms on Google's resources. Users can write scripts to process data, access over 40 years of satellite imagery, and export outputs. Google Earth Engine allows analyzing data at global scales faster than downloading data due to its cloud-based processing.

INTRODUCTION TO GOOGLE EARTH ENGINE

Technical Support Division (TD)


Overview of Google Earth Engine
What is Google Earth Engine (GEE)

• GEE is the platform for scientific analysis and visualization of


geospatial datasets

• For academic, non-profit business and government users

• GEE hosts huge of satellite imagery and public datasets

• GEE provides APIs and other tools to enable the analysis of


large datasets
MEETING THE NEEDS KEEPING THE BALANCE
How is GEE different from Google Earth?

• Enable you to explore the • Tool for analyzing geospatial


world by interacting with a information
virtual globe • Large public dataset can be
• Can view satellite imagery accessed
maps, terrain, 3D building • Ability to compute the data with
user algorithms on google resources
• Easily on sharing your own
contents/algorithms to other users
• Dataset/imagery can be download
MEETING THE NEEDS KEEPING THE BALANCE
Google Earth Engine is available via a web-based JavaScript
Application Program Interface (API) called the Code Editor.

This platform is where users can write and execute scripts to share and
repeat geospatial analysis and processing workflows

• Cloud-based platform for geospatial analysis


• Access over 40 years of satellite imagery
• Upload own data sets to integrate with publicly available data
• Apply range of common algorithms to data
• Export images, tables, charts, map outputs

Advantage of using Google Earth Engine

 It can readily process the data in the cloud. No need to download Giga
Bytes to your computer to your hard drive. It saves you spaces and IT
infrastructure and costs.
 You can process the data and do your own analysis with normal general
computer. No special image processing software is required. It saves cost
for buying software.
 It is very fast processing time and it can safe your precious working time.
 It allows you to process huge datasets not only the national scale but at the
Global and Planetary Scale.

Advantage of using Google Earth Engine

 It allows you to access to decades of historical datasets and do time-


series analysis.
 It allows you to access valuable multi-sensors Satellite datasets which is
required in your works.
 It allows you to create your own algorithms.
 It allows you to share your works/knowledge to others and to the public.
