Google Earth Engine is a cloud-based
platform that allows users getting access to a petabyte-scale archive of
remote sensing data and run geospatial analysis on Google’s
infrastructure. The rgee package provides full access to the Google
Earth Engine API from
within R and defines additional tools for automating processes.
Earth Engine Python API:
import ee
ee.Initialize()
image = ee.Image('CGIAR/SRTM90_V4')
image.bandNames().getInfo()
#> ['elevation']rgee:
library(rgee)
ee$Initialize()
image <- ee$Image('CGIAR/SRTM90_V4')
image$bandNames()$getInfo()
#> [1] "elevation"- Improve documentation.
- Generate better examples.
- py_help: Generate compressible documentation in an html format.
- Unit testing
- ee$…: Complete access to the Earth Engine API from within R.
- ee_Initialize:
Multi-user support for Initialize Earth Engine, a wrapper around
ee$Initialize. - ee_install: Interface for installing Selenium drivers and Python packages effortlessly.
- ee_check: Interface for dependencies checking.
- ee_manage: Manage EE assets and tasks recursively.
- ee_map: Display EE spatial objects using mapview.
- ee_print: Print EE metadata.
- ee_upload: Upload ESRI shapefiles or GeoTIFF’s to Earth Engine.
- ee_download: Download EE spatial objects.
- ee_as_sf & sf_as_ee: Convert EE tables (Feature Collection) to sf and vice-versa.
- ee_as_thumbnail: Create a stars object based on an EE thumbnail image.
- ee_extract: Extract values for EE ImageCollections, similarly to raster::extract.
- ee_search: Search among the Earth Engine Data Catalog.
- ee_help: Display the Earth Engine documentation.
NOTE: Access to Google Earth Engine is currently only available to registered users.
