Cloud-Based Remote Sensing with Google Earth Engine: Fundamentals and Applications de Jeffrey A. Cardille

Cloud-Based Remote Sensing with Google Earth Engine: Fundamentals and Applications

Editat de Jeffrey A. Cardille, Morgan A. Crowley, David Saah, Nicholas E. Clinton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 oct 2023

Gestionarea și analiza volumelor masive de date geospațiale reprezintă provocarea centrală a monitorizării mediului în secolul XXI. Cloud-Based Remote Sensing with Google Earth Engine propune o soluție pedagogică exhaustivă, transformând platforma Google Earth Engine dintr-un instrument complex într-o resursă accesibilă. Observăm o structură riguroasă, împărțită în două jumătăți distincte: prima parte este dedicată fundamentelor, ghidând cititorul prin JavaScript și vocabularul teledetecției, în timp ce a doua parte explorează aplicații practice diverse, de la detectarea schimbărilor la fuziunea datelor.

Fiecare capitol funcționează ca un laborator independent, reflectând expertiza a peste o sută de contributori. Această diversitate de perspective asigură o acoperire metodologică rar întâlnită în literatura de specialitate. Cititorii familiarizați cu Introduction to Remote Sensing, Sixth Edition de James B. Campbell vor aprecia aici saltul de la teoria colectării datelor la procesarea lor masivă în cloud. În timp ce manualele tradiționale se concentrează pe fundamentele fizice, volumul coordonat de David Saah și colegii săi pune accentul pe scalabilitate și execuție rapidă. De asemenea, spre deosebire de Remote Sensing and Digital Image Processing with R - Lab Manual, care utilizează limbajul R, această lucrare se ancorează în ecosistemul Google, oferind un avantaj competitiv celor care lucrează cu seturi de date globale.

Merită menționat că progresia narativă a cărții este logică: se începe cu manipularea imaginilor și clasificarea acestora, avansând spre procesarea seriilor temporale cu algoritmi precum LandTrendr sau CCDC. Este un ghid practic care nu doar explică 'ce', ci mai ales 'cum', oferind cod și fluxuri de lucru gata de implementat.

Despre autor

Volumul este coordonat de o echipă de editori de elită, printre care David Saah, Jeffrey A. Cardille, Morgan A. Crowley și Nicholas E. Clinton. Aceștia reunesc experiență vastă în domeniul ecologiei peisajului, ingineriei geospațiale și dezvoltării de software. Nicholas E. Clinton este o figură centrală în echipa Google Earth Engine, asigurând acuratețea tehnică a materialelor, în timp ce ceilalți editori aduc o perspectivă academică și de teren, facilitând traducerea conceptelor complexe în exerciții de laborator aplicabile pentru utilizatori de toate nivelurile.

Descriere scurtă

This book guides its audience—which can range from novice users to experts— though a 55-chapter tour of Google Earth Engine. A sequenced and diverse set of lab materials, this is the product of more than a year of effort from more than a hundred individuals, collecting new exercises from professors, undergraduates, master’s students, PhD students, postdocs, and independent consultants. 

Cloud Based Remote Sensing with Google Earth Engine is broadly organized into two halves. The first half, Fundamentals, is a set of 31 labs designed to take the reader from being a complete Earth Engine novice to being a quite advanced user. The second half, Applications, presents a tour of the world of Earth Engine across 24 chapters, showing how it is used in a very wide variety of settings that rely on remote-sensing data This is an open access book.

Notă biografică

Jeffrey Cardille An Associate Professor at McGill University, Jeff is trained in landscape ecology, computer science, and remote sensing / GIS. A very early adopter of Earth Engine, his research focuses on ingesting multiple data sources to improve land-cover classifications, by smoothing inconsistencies through time and accumulating evidence of land cover change and stability. Through the years, one of the challenges in training new graduates and undergraduates has been finding training materials that both teach fundamentals and present interesting applications of using satellites for cutting-edge environmental science. Jeff hopes that this effort will appeal to individuals working on their own to understand this powerful technology. He has a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Mathematics and Computer Science from Carnegie-Mellon University, a Master of Science in Operations Research from the Georgia Institute of Technology, and a PhD in Environmental Monitoring from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
