Exporting a Collection into Local Computer Disk

[KonstantinosF]

HI!,

I would like to download an Image collection (more than 80 GB) into my personal computer, because google drive doesn't offer a lot of storage.

Is that possible? and if yes, How?

Thank you

Hi @KonstantinosF!

There is a way to use geetools for downloading a single ee.Image to a local folder, you can adapt it to download an entire image collection. I drop you an example that is working for me.

from geetools import batch
import ee
geom = ee.Geometry.Point([-72,-42]).buffer(1000)
col = ee.ImageCollection.fromImages([ee.Image.random(1), ee.Image.random(2), ee.Image.random(3)])
size = col.size().getInfo()
clist = col.toList(size)
for i in range(size):
    image = ee.Image(clist.get(i))
    iid = image.id().getInfo()
    name = 'test_'+iid
    print('downloading '+name)
    batch.Image.toLocal(image, name, scale=100, region=geom)

Hi @KonstantinosF , how did it go?

Hi @adriano, I couldn't find this message in GitHub.. I haven't made good documentation yet, but I know I need to. Meanwhile you can do `help(batch.Image.toFile)` El jue., 23 de may. de 2019 a la(s) 19:24, Adriano Matos ( [email protected]) escribió:

@fitoprincipe <https://github.com/fitoprincipe> I want to do the same. Is there documentation on all the functions in geetools? I can't find it the folder I downloaded, but I could easily be looking in the wrong spot. Also, can you specify the directory to save the images to when exporting to a local computer?

Hi @fitoprincipe ! I am trying to also download imagery to my local computer, but I keep getting this error:
"zipFile.BadZipFile: File is not a zip file." I think it has something to do with the image collection I am trying to export (particularly Landsat 8 Surface Reflectance). Are you familiar with this error?
I provided a link to my script in case you wanted to replicate the error. It should work until you get that error I mentioned. It takes like 5 minutes until the error message appears.

Thanks so much in advance!

UPDATE: The script works when I select only one band in the image collection ("l8sr"), but it does not like it when I select 7 bands from the image collection to download.

@fitoprincipe Oh sorry! I deleted the reply because I figured out the "toLocal" function myself. I did message you with an error message I am getting when using "toLocal." I will continue to look into this myself, unless you know of this error.

@fitoprincipe I'm trying to do the same but match the outputs to what I do in google earth engine.

I'm after a multi-band tif with named bands the same as the following, but saved to the local disk rather than google drive

var batch = require('users/fitoprincipe/geetools:batch')
batch.Download.ImageCollection.toDrive(S2_AOI, 'EP', 
                                      {name:ee.String(Name).cat("_{GRANULE_ID}"),region:inputShape,scale:10});

I have seen your suggestions, but toLocal() saves bands to individual tifs and there is no toLocal() for image collections.

Any tips would be appreciated.

You can try geemap. see https://geemap.org/notebooks/11_export_image

[fitoprincipe]

I didn't see the filePerBand parameter before.. how long has been there? 😆 🤦‍♂️ thanks @giswqs! =)

[cratcliff]

Thanks for the suggestion - that's part way there.

I would also like to add the named bands as part of the export so the user can tell which band is which, to make like-for-like band selection easier later on down the track.

batch.imagecollection.toDrive() already does this and in QGIS it looks like this

Compared to geemap.ee_export_image()
