A new question derived from my Seeking website to do geoprocessing online?
In Google Earth Engine, is it possible (if so, how?) to draw a polygon and extract the land cover inside?
I would guess so, since it says in the Google Earth Engine API page:
The functionality of Earth Engine is exposed through an API available in both JavaScript and Python. The API supports complex geospatial analyses including overlay, map algebra, array operations, image processing, classification, change detection, time series analysis, joins, raster-vector conversions, vector-based extraction of image statistics and much more. Algorithms are constantly being added, enhanced and updated. Through the API, users are free to script more complex analyses and creatively recombine existing algorithms. Reporting of results is supported through charting, mapping and table or image export.
