This repository contains a collection of Imagery Explorer web applications developed by Esri's ArcGIS Living Atlas team.

• Getting Started
• Landsat Explorer
• Sentinel-2 Landcover Explorer

Before you begin, make sure you have a fresh version of Node.js and NPM installed. The current Long Term Support (LTS) release is an ideal starting point.

To get started, clone this repository (or your fork) to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/Esri/imagery-explorer-apps.git

Navigate to the root directory of the project and install the necessary packages (dependencies):

npm install

The Landsat Explorer app offers an intuitive user experience, it leverages a variety of ArcGIS capabilities to explore and begin to unlock the wealth of information that Landsat provides.

• Visual exploration of a Dynamic global mosaic of the best available Landsat scenes.
• On-the-fly multispectral band combinations and indices for visualization and analysis.
• Interactive Find a Scene by location, sensor, time, and cloud cover.
• Visual change by time, and comparison of different renderings, with Swipe and Animation modes.
• Analysis such as threshold masking and temporal profiles for vegetation, water, land surface temperature, and more.

Before running the application, update the landsat-level-2 URLs in the config.json to use the URL of your service proxy for Landsat Level-2.

config.json:

{
    //...
    "services": {
        "landsat-level-2": {
            "development": "URL_OF_YOUR_PROXY_SERVICE_FOR_LANDSAT_LEVEL_2",
            "production": "URL_OF_YOUR_PROXY_SERVICE_FOR_LANDSAT_LEVEL_2"
        }
    }
}

To run and test the app on your local machine:

npm run start-landsat

To build the app, you can run the command below, this will place all files needed for deployment into the /dist/landsat directory.

npm run build-landsat

Land use land cover (LULC) maps are an increasingly important tool for decision-makers in many industry sectors and developing nations around the world. The information provided by these maps helps inform policy and land management decisions by better understanding and quantifying the impacts of earth processes and human activity.

The Sentinel-2 Land Cover Explorer app provides dynamic visual and statistical change by comparing annual slices of the Sentinel-2 10m Land Use/Land Cover data as you explore the map.

• Visual change analysis with either ‘Step Mode’ or ‘Swipe Mode’
• Dynamic statistical change analysis by year, map extent, and class
• Filter by selected land cover class
• Regional class statistics summarized by administrative boundaries
• Imagery mode for visualization and comparison of the source imagery
• Select and dynamically change imagery renderings
• Data download for offline use

To run and test the app on your local machine:

npm run start-landcover

To build the app, you can run the command below, this will place all files needed for deployment into the /dist/landcover-explorer directory.

npm run build-landcover
