REST Resource: projects.locations.thumbnails

  • Thumbnails are visual representations of Earth Engine images, generated from expressions and saved in various formats like PNG or GeoTIFF.

  • Customization options include selecting specific bands, applying visualization settings for RGB output, and defining a pixel grid for reprojection and clipping.

  • Thumbnails are identified by unique resource names and created using the create method.

  • When using specific file formats like ZIPPED_GEO_TIFF, a filename prefix can be specified.

Fields
name

string

The resource name representing the thumbnail, of the form "projects/*/thumbnails/**" (e.g. "projects/earthengine-legacy/thumbnails/").
expression

object (Expression)

The expression to compute. Must evaluate to an Image.
fileFormat

enum (ImageFileFormat)

The output encoding in which to generate the resulting image.
bandIds[]

string

If present, specifies a specific set of bands that will be selected from the result of evaluating expression. If not present, all bands resulting from expression will be selected.
visualizationOptions

object (VisualizationOptions)

If present, a set of visualization options to apply to produce an 8-bit RGB visualization of the data.
grid

object (PixelGrid)

An optional pixel grid describing how the image computed by expression is reprojected and clipped.
filenamePrefix

string

Only used when fileFormat is ZIPPED_GEO_TIFF or ZIPPED_GEO_TIFF_PER_BAND.

Methods

create

 Creates an ID that can be used to render a "thumbnail" image.
