Add .kip imagery
GEE can use pre-processed imagery in Keyhole Imagery Product (.kip
) format. Each .kip
folder has a corresponding Keyhole Mask Product (.kmp
) folder that contains the mask for the imagery. The corresponding folders have the same name.
To add .kip
imagery to the asset tree:
- Store each
.kip/.kmp
folder pair in the same directory. - Set read-and-execute permissions for the
keyhole:users
account. - Use the
khnewimageryasset --havemask
command to add the files. Specify the asset name, the provider information (USGS), and the location of the.kip
folder. For example, ifcity_one.kip
andcity_one.kmp
are in/gevol/src/preprocessed/noame/usa/
, the command is:genewimageryasset --havemask --provider (PROVIDER_KEY) -o path/to/asset/in/tree/gevol/src/preprocessed/noame/usa/city_one.kip
- Repeat this step for each
.kip/.kmp
combination you want to add.
You can access the assets from the Fusion Asset Manager whenever you want to use them in imagery projects. You're still required to build each asset in the system, but the build time will be insignificant because each .kip/.kmp
combination is pre-processed.
