Landsat and Sentinel-2 Based Burned Area Mapping Tools in Google Earth Engine
نویسندگان
چکیده
Four burned area tools were implemented in Google Earth Engine (GEE), to obtain regular processes related (BA) mapping, using medium spatial resolution sensors (Landsat and Sentinel-2). The four are (i) the BA Cartography tool for supervised over user-selected extent period, (ii) two implementing a stratified random sampling select scenes dates validation, (iii) Reference Perimeter highly accurate maps that focus on validating coarser products. Burned Area Mapping Tools (BAMTs) go beyond previously Software (BAMS) because of GEE parallel processing capabilities preloaded geospatial datasets. BAMT also allows temporal image composites be exploited order larger longer periods. consist scripts executable from Code Editor. tools’ performance was discussed case studies: 2019/2020 fire season Southeast Australia, where cartography detected more than 50,000 km2, Landsat data with commission omission errors below 12% when compared Sentinel-2 imagery; 2018 summer wildfires Canada, it found around 16,000 km2 had burned.

Multitemporal settlement and population mapping from Landsat using Google Earth Engine
As countries become increasingly urbanized, understanding how urban areas are changing within the landscape becomes increasingly important. Urbanized areas are often the strongest indicators of human interaction with the environment, and understanding how urban areas develop through remotely sensed data allows for more sustainable practices. The Google Earth Engine (GEE) leverages cloud computi...
متن کاملMapping land cover change over continental Africa using Landsat and Google Earth Engine cloud computing
Quantifying and monitoring the spatial and temporal dynamics of the global land cover is critical for better understanding many of the Earth's land surface processes. However, the lack of regularly updated, continental-scale, and high spatial resolution (30 m) land cover data limit our ability to better understand the spatial extent and the temporal dynamics of land surface changes. Despite the...

A satellite-derived cropland extent map at high spatial resolution (30-m or better) is a must for food and water security analysis. Precise and accurate global cropland extent maps, indicating cropland and non-cropland areas, are starting points to develop higher-level products such as crop watering methods (irrigated or rainfed), cropping intensities (e.g., single, double, or continuous croppi...

Introduction: Having accurate and up-to-date information on the status of land use and land cover change is a key point to protecting natural resources, sustainable agriculture management and urban development. Preparing the land cover and land use maps with traditional methods is usually time and cost consuming. Nowadays satellite imagery provides the possibility to prepare these maps in less ...

Modern advances in cloud computing and machine-leaning algorithms are shifting the manner in which Earth-observation (EO) data are used for environmental monitoring, particularly as we settle into the era of free, open-access satellite data streams. Wetland delineation represents a particularly worthy application of this emerging research trend, since wetlands are an ecologically important yet ...
