6.1. Introduction
In addition to having a multi-petabyte catalog of geospatial datasets, Google Earth Engine can perform planetary-scale geospatial analysis. In this chapter, we will explore how to use Earth Engine to analyze geospatial data at scale, such as descriptive statistics, zonal statistics, and various image processing techniques (e.g., supervised classification, unsupervised classification, and accuracy assessment). We will also learn how to visualize analysis results with interactive charts. By utilizing the continent functions provided by geemap, we can perform planetary-scale geospatial analysis and visualization with a few lines of code.
6.2. Technical requirements
To follow along with this chapter, you will need to have geemap and several optional dependencies installed. If you have already followed Section 1.5 - Installing geemap, then you should already have a
