[GIS] Get image names from image collection in Google Earth Engine

google-earth-engine

This seems very basic, but I cannot figure out how to extract the image names from an image collection in Google Earth Engine. I can get a count of the number of images, but not the names. Here is an example.

var ROI = ee.Geometry.Rectangle(-82.5574, 35.5958, -82.5563, 35.59515); // define area

var collection = ee.ImageCollection('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1')
    .filterDate('2014-05-01', '2015-10-01')
    .filterBounds(ROI);

Now I want to do something like collection.ImageNames().

Every image in your image-collection has many properties (i.e. metadata). You can see a list of these properties by calling:

print(collection.first().propertyNames());

I guess the image names you are looking for is specified by the property 'LANDSAT_PRODUCT_ID', so by calling:

print(collection.aggregate_array('LANDSAT_PRODUCT_ID'));

you can get a list of names in you current collection.

You can control the pixel size of an image by setting the scale parameter of ee.Image.reproject():

// Reference a Landsat scene.
var image_30m = ee.Image('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1/LC08_044034_20170614');

// Define visualization parameters for a true color image.
var vizParams = {'bands': 'B4,B3,B2',
                 'min': 5000,
                 'max': 30000,
                 'gamma': 1.6};
Map.addLayer(image_30m, vizParams, 'image_30m');

// Get the projection information for a band.
var band2 = image_30m.select('B2');
print('CRS:', band2.projection().crs());

// Display a bilinear resampled image with 10m pixel spacing.
var image_10m = image_30m.resample('bilinear').reproject({
  crs: band2.projection().crs(),
  scale: 10
});
Map.addLayer(image_10m, vizParams, 'image_10m');

If you want even more control over the projection, you can manually change the CRS transform (crsTransform) parameter:

// Reference a Landsat scene.
var image_30m = ee.Image('LANDSAT/LC08/C01/T1/LC08_044034_20170614');
// Define visualization parameters for a true color image.
var vizParams = {'bands': 'B4,B3,B2',
                 'min': 5000,
                 'max': 30000,
                 'gamma': 1.6};
Map.addLayer(image_30m, vizParams, 'image_30m');

// Get the projection information for a band.
var band2 = image_30m.select('B2');
var proj = band2.projection().getInfo();
print('CRS:', proj.crs);
print('original CRS transform:', proj.transform);

// Construct a new CRS transform, using 10m spacing.
var transform_new = [
  10,
  proj.transform[1],
  proj.transform[2],
  proj.transform[3],
  -10,
  proj.transform[5],
];
print('new CRS transform:', transform_new);

// Display a bilinear resampled image with 10m pixel spacing.
var image_10m = image_30m.resample('bilinear').reproject(
  {
  crs: proj.crs,
  crsTransform: transform_new
});
Map.addLayer(image_10m, vizParams, 'image_10m');

See the Projections doc page for more information.
