How did you export your images from GEE and load them into Claslite?

Question

If you've used Google Earth Engine outputs to create inputs to Claslite, how did you export your images from GEE and load them into Claslite?

The website claims Claslite is compatible with GEE files, but I've so far run into error messages when trying to use the software. "Incorrect File Type" and "This number of bits per pixel not supported" are two of the error messages I've received. The edx course on Claslite's website doesn't have information on using Google Earth Engine images.

My exports from GEE are medians of a masked image collection over 4 year periods.

To export images from Google Earth Engine (GEE) and load them into Claslite, you can follow these steps:

1. In GEE, after selecting the desired image or image collection, use the .getDownloadURL() function to obtain a download URL for the image. This will generate a link to download the image.

2. Click on the download link and save the image file to your local computer.

3. Open Claslite and select the option to load an image file. Choose the downloaded image file from your computer.

If you are encountering error messages such as "Incorrect File Type" or "This number of bits per pixel not supported" when trying to use Claslite, it may indicate compatibility issues between the image file format and Claslite. In this case, make sure that the exported image from GEE is in a format supported by Claslite. Additionally, check if the image's bit depth is supported by Claslite.
