Description
Welcome to an in-depth and rigorously structured course designed to equip learners with the expertise to perform land cover classification using Random Forest within Google Earth Engine (GEE). This course is tailored for students, geospatial professionals, environmental scientists, and researchers seeking to harness satellite imagery for precise land cover mapping. Through a comprehensive case study in Çumra District, Konya, Türkiye, participants will develop proficiency in classifying land into four categories—Water, Vegetation, Urban, and Bare Land—utilizing state-of-the-art machine learning techniques and cloud-based geospatial platforms. No prior experience in coding or remote sensing is required, as this course provides a systematic progression from foundational concepts to advanced applications, ensuring accessibility for beginners and value for experienced learners.
Upon completion, you will produce a professional-grade land cover map of Çumra District, demonstrating mastery of Random Forest and GEE. You will gain the ability to preprocess satellite imagery, develop and validate machine learning models, and interpret geospatial data, skills highly valued in academia and industries such as environmental management, urban planning, and agricultural monitoring.
Embark on a transformative learning journey to master land cover classification with Random Forest in Google Earth Engine. This course offers a unique opportunity to develop cutting-edge skills through a practical, real-world project in Çumra District, equipping you to address global environmental challenges. Enroll now to gain expertise in geospatial analysis, contribute to sustainable development. Begin your journey today and unlock the potential of satellite imagery to map and understand our world.
