eemont

eemont is a Python package developed to significantly enhance the functionality of Google Earth Engine (GEE), a robust, cloud-based platform for geospatial processing. GEE provides an extensive API with numerous methods for handling diverse geospatial objects, alongside a vast catalog of raster and vector data. This includes critical global datasets from missions such as Landsat, Sentinel, and MODIS, enabling users to perform complex analyses directly online without needing to download large datasets.

The eemont package specifically extends GEE's existing API by integrating a comprehensive suite of pre-processing and processing tools. These tools are meticulously designed for the most frequently utilized satellite platforms, adding essential utilities that streamline and expand the capabilities for geospatial object analysis within the Earth Engine environment. It aims to simplify complex workflows, such as atmospheric correction, cloud masking, and the computation of various spectral indices, which are crucial for accurate remote sensing applications.

Furthermore, eemont facilitates advanced time-series analysis and the generation of mosaics from large image collections, making it easier for users to derive meaningful insights from long-term satellite observations. By abstracting away some of the more intricate GEE API calls into simpler, more intuitive functions, eemont empowers researchers and developers to conduct more efficient and sophisticated geospatial data analysis, ultimately accelerating the pace of environmental monitoring, land-use change detection, and other critical Earth observation tasks.
