Install Earth Engine API and geemap¶

Install the Earth Engine Python API and geemap. The geemap Python package is built upon the ipyleaflet and folium packages and implements several methods for interacting with Earth Engine data layers, such as Map.addLayer(), Map.setCenter(), and Map.centerObject(). The following script checks if the geemap package has been installed. If not, it will install geemap, which automatically installs its dependencies, including earthengine-api, folium, and ipyleaflet.

In [ ]:

# Installs geemap package
import subprocess

try:
    import geemap
except ImportError:
    print('Installing geemap ...')
    subprocess.check_call(["python", '-m', 'pip', 'install', 'geemap'])

In [ ]:

import ee
import geemap

Create an interactive map¶

The default basemap is Google Maps. Additional basemaps can be added using the Map.add_basemap() function.

Map = geemap.Map(center=[40,-100], zoom=4)

Add Earth Engine Python script¶

In [ ]:

# Add Earth Engine dataset
# Mark pixels where the elevation crosses 1000m value and compare
# that to pixels that are exactly equal to 1000m.

elev = ee.Image('CGIAR/SRTM90_V4')

# A zero-crossing is defined as any pixel where the right,
# bottom, or diagonal bottom-right pixel has the opposite sign.
image = elev.subtract(1000).zeroCrossing()

Map.setCenter(-121.68148, 37.50877, 13)
Map.addLayer(image, {'min': 0, 'max': 1, 'opacity': 0.5}, 'Crossing 1000m')

exact = elev.eq(1000)
Map.addLayer(exact.updateMask(exact), {'palette': 'red'}, 'Exactly 1000m')

Display Earth Engine data layers¶

In [ ]:

Map.addLayerControl() # This line is not needed for ipyleaflet-based Map.
