First Experiences with Google Earth Engine

Abstract

This paper presents the first experiences of the author with GEE (Google Earth Engine). A C++ image processing algorithm, still under development, was migrated to this new environment using GEE’s web interface and the JavaScript language. The idea is to discover the problems that might arise when migrating to this environment as well as to assess the presumable performance boost that should be achieved. A reduced —more didactic— version of the aforementioned algorithm is presented in a step-by-step way along with a brief description of the advantages and drawbacks —from the authors standpoint— of GEE.
