Overview
Google Earth Engine Satellite Downloader is a Python command-line tool designed to download and process high-quality satellite imagery tiles from Google Earth Engine (GEE).
By using localized shapefile areas of interest, it automates the workflow of querying, filtering, clipping, downloading, and merging multi-band satellite data for geological, environmental, and regional mapping.
Key Features
- Google Earth Engine Integration: Securely queries GEE’s massive Landsat and ASTER databases.
- Shapefile-Guided Clipping: Automatically defines boundaries and clips images to shapefile polygons.
- Automated Tile Merging: Downloads multiple imagery tiles and merges them into seamless GeoTIFF formats.
- Spectral Index Support: Easy configuration for creating False Color composites, NVDI, and geological band ratios.
- Cloud-Masking Filters: Integrates basic cloud-cover filtering to ensure only high-quality data is processed.
