Any plan to implement WaterDetect in google earth engine?

[Dr-Oscar-Benavente]

Hey Mauricio,

I'm Oscar Benavente, and I work as an environmental geochemist.

I'm currently working in project to monitor pitlakes physico-chemical characteristics using the HSV color of the water that can be monitored using the RGB bands of different satellite images (see the pH vs Hue relation of different pit lakes I have analyzed).

A very important part of this project is to define properly the water and non-water pixels over the pits, so HSV values can be calculated just for the pixels of water.

Since all the pipeline I have produced uses GEE python package, I want to ask you if you have plans of implementing the WaterDetect code to work directly with GEE images, instead of downloading them to your local machine.

Regards,
Oscar

Hi @Dr-Oscar-Benavente,
Unfortunatelly, GEE version is not on the plans. However a STAC version that reads directly from the cloud is on the way... It will be easier than downloding entire scenes, but you still have to figure out how to integrate on your GEE workflow.
If you are interested, we can discuss it as a side project. You can reach me out at cordmaur@gmail.com
