Google Earth

Client/Server ApplicationFree for basic versionWorks on Windows (2000/XP), Mac OS 10.3.9, Linux

Google Earth Overview

Satellite and Airborne Imagery 1-3 years oldSpatial resolution in countryside < 15 m. Major US cities less than 1-2 feet (20-40 cm).Parts of Manhattan (Fulton Co.) 10 cm!

Why Google?

Its free!!!Generally up to dateLarge user communityDeveloper/programmer friendlyEasy to learnPlatform independentIts cool!

Page 16: Incorporating Google Maps and Google Earth into your Remote Sensing Applications J. Freemantle OARS Technical Meeting, Dec 11, 2006.

Assumptions/Caveats

Check the fine print of End User License (EUL) for your situation.Google Earth 4.0 (Beta), free version.Public/Private data? (choose wisely).

Warning Code Examples!

Page 19: Incorporating Google Maps and Google Earth into your Remote Sensing Applications J. Freemantle OARS Technical Meeting, Dec 11, 2006.

Keyhole Markup Language (kml)

Xml grammar and file format for describing geographic features in google earth/maps

PointsLinesPolygonsModelslinks

Page 20: Incorporating Google Maps and Google Earth into your Remote Sensing Applications J. Freemantle OARS Technical Meeting, Dec 11, 2006.

Keyhole Markup Language (KML)

KML files can be shared.KMZ files are a compressed version of KML files.Google Earth processes kml files like web browsers process html files.

Google Earth Example<?php// get the time$timesnap = date("H:i:s");

$BOX=$_GET[BBOX];// split the client's BBOX return by commas and spaces to obtain an array of coordinates$coords = preg_split('/,|\s/', $BOX);

// for clarity, place each coordinate into a clearly marked bottom_left or top_right variable$bl_lon = $coords[0];$bl_lat = $coords[1];$tr_lon = $coords[2];$tr_lat = $coords[3];

// calculate the approx center of the view -- note that this is innaccurate if the user is not looking straight down$userlon = (($coords[2] - $coords[0])/2) + $coords[0];$userlat = (($coords[3] - $coords[1])/2) + $coords[1];

$response = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';$response .= '<kml xmlns="http://earth.google.com/kml/2.0">';$response .= '<Placemark>';$response .= '<name>'.$timesnap.'</name>';$response .= '<Point>';$response .= "<coordinates>$userlon,$userlat,0</coordinates>";$response .= '</Point>';$response .= '</Placemark>';$response .= '</kml>';echo $response;
