gee_funcs module

This module contains functions for working with satellite images and Google Earth Engine.

apply_scale_factorsL8(img)

Applies scale factors to Landsat 8 imagery bands.

This function scales the optical and thermal bands of a Landsat 8 image. The optical bands are scaled by multiplying by 0.0000275 and adding -0.2. The thermal bands are scaled by multiplying by 0.00341802 and adding 149.0.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
img ee.Image

The input Landsat 8 image to which the scale factors will be applied.

required

Returns:

Type Description
ee.Image

The image with scaled optical and thermal bands.

mask_s2_clouds(img)

Masks clouds and cloud shadows in Sentinel-2 images using the SCL band, QA60 band, and cloud probability.

This function applies a series of masks to a Sentinel-2 image to remove pixels that are likely to be affected by clouds, cloud shadows, cirrus, or snow. It uses the Scene Classification Layer (SCL) band, the QA60 band, and optionally the cloud probability band from the COPERNICUS/S2_CLOUD_PROBABILITY collection.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
img ee.Image

The Sentinel-2 image to be masked.

required

Returns:

Type Description
ee.Image

The masked Sentinel-2 image with values scaled between 0 and 1.
