Quick Start

ndvi-gee uses geometry system to crop a satellite image, and calculate the size of the image acquired from Google Earth Engine (GEE) using a given image width in pixels, and returns an object with many interesting data.

// Import the library, define your `devKey` with the `Private Key`:
const devKey = require('YOUR PRIVATE KEY');

// Define a polygon like:
const polygon = [
  {
    lat: 27.888807653809973,
    lng: -80.62262288406416
  },
  {
    lat: 27.866105444225745,
    lng: -80.62282725565235
  },
  {
    lat: 27.866415627190747,
    lng: -80.67262206251358
  },
  {
    lat: 27.889321367722737,
    lng: -80.67230056069523
  }
];

// Define the width of the polygon area in pixels:
let width = 500;

// Finally, define the dateStart and dateEnd:
let dateStart = 1617753600000;
let dateEnd = 1620518400000;

// Call the following function:
ndviGee.ndviGen(devKey, polygon, width, dateStart, dateEnd).then((result) => {
  console.log(result.img_url);
});

Installation

Install with npm:

npm install ndvi-gee

To use with node just import the module:

const ndviGee = require('ndvi-gee');

Usage

ndvi-gee acquires NDVI images with few clouds from Google Earth Engine and gives a promise with an object of interesting data.

The library uses the Google Earth Engine for acquiring the NDVI image of a region of longitude and latitude coordinates.

It is necessary passing the private key as parameter to the function. See Private key authentication.

Parameters

You can call the following function:

ndviGee.ndviGen(devKey, polygon, width, dateStart, dateEnd).then((result) => {
  // Your code here
});

The parameters are described as:

Return Values

The function returns a promise that is fulfilled with an object containing:
