Machine Learning

Machine Learning Best Practices

With the pace of modern machine learning, building and training neural networks is hard. Learn some best practices and sift through the overwhelming amount of information available with a focus on remote sensing.

Neural Segmentation

Arguably the most common application of ML to earth observation imagery is pixel level segmentation and regression. With neural networks, a whole new set of techniques are possible that eclipse existing methods in terms of generality, but come with their own set of challenges. Learn applications and training regimens ranging from supervised to fully unsupervised.

companion slides

Arrays and Matrices

Overview of array and matrix operations the Earth Engine way. Topics include linear modeling, matrix solving, eigen analysis, covariance reducers.

companion slides

Time Series Analysis

Overview of time series analysis the Earth Engine way. Topics covered include linear modeling, auto-correlation, cross-correlation, auto-regressive models and smoothing.

companion slides

Earth Engine and the Google Cloud Platform

Introduction to interoperability between Earth Engine and the Google Cloud Platform.

companion slides

Google Maps API

Create a "Hello World" Maps API webpage, and learn how to do things like change the options (background map type, initial location, etc.), overlay data and KML layers, and start to showcase your first Earth Engine maps.

companion slides

Publishing and storytelling with your Earth Engine results

Get an overview of how to use Google's geo tools to tell your stories and share your data. Topics include Google Earth, Google Maps (APIs), My Maps, Tour Builder, and Street View.
