Introduction
Google Earth Engine is a powerful spatial analysis tool based on cloud computing where we could able to visualize and analyze of spatial data as well as can download or save our output. Earth Engine is a platform for scientific analysis and visualization of geospatial datasets, for academic, non-profit, business and government users.
Earth Engine hosts satellite imagery and stores it in a public data archive that includes historical earth images going back more than forty years. The images, ingested on a daily basis, are then made available for global-scale data mining. Earth Engine also provides APIs and other tools to enable the analysis of large datasets.How it is different from google earth?
Google Earth enables you to travel, explore, and learn about the world by interacting with a virtual globe. You can view satellite imagery, maps, terrain, 3D buildings, and much more.
Earth Engine, on the other hand, is a tool for analyzing geospatial information. You can analyze forest and water coverage, land use change, or assess the health of agricultural fields, among many other possible analyses.
While the two tools rely on some of the same data, only some of Google Earth's imagery and data is available for analysis in Earth Engine
What google earth engine can do for you?
Earth Engine provides easy, web-based access to an extensive catalog of
satellite imagery and other geospatial data in an analysis-ready format.
The data catalog is paired with scalable compute power backed by Google
data centers and flexible APIs that let you seamlessly implement your
existing geospatial workflows. This enables cutting-edge, global scale
analysis and visualization.
