Announcement: On November 13, 2024, all users will need to use a Cloud project in order to access Earth Engine. After this date, continued individual access without a Cloud project will require an exception.

ee.Algorithms.TemporalSegmentation.Ccdc

Implements the Continuous Change Detection and Classification temporal breakpoint algorithm. This algorithm finds temporal breakpoints in an image collection by iteratively fitting harmonic functions to the data. Fit coefficients are produced for all input bands, but the bands used for breakpoint detection can be specified with the 'breakpointBands' argument.

Usage	Returns
`ee.Algorithms.TemporalSegmentation.Ccdc(collection, breakpointBands, tmaskBands, minObservations, chiSquareProbability, minNumOfYearsScaler, dateFormat, lambda, maxIterations)`	Image

Argument	Type	Details
`collection`	ImageCollection	Collection of images on which to run CCDC.
`breakpointBands`	List, default: null	The name or index of the bands to use for change detection. If unspecified, all bands are used.
`tmaskBands`	List, default: null	The name or index of the bands to use for iterative TMask cloud detection. These are typically the green band and the SWIR1 band. If unspecified, TMask is not used. If specified, 'tmaskBands' must be included in 'breakpointBands'.
`minObservations`	Integer, default: 6	The number of observations required to flag a change.
`chiSquareProbability`	Float, default: 0.99	The chi-square probability threshold for change detection in the range of [0, 1].
`minNumOfYearsScaler`	Float, default: 1.33	Factors of minimum number of years to apply new fitting.
`dateFormat`	Integer, default: 0	The time representation to use during fitting: 0 = jDays, 1 = fractional years, 2 = unix time in milliseconds. The start, end and break times for each temporal segment will be encoded this way.
`lambda`	Float, default: 20	Lambda for LASSO regression fitting. If set to 0, regular OLS is used instead of LASSO.
`maxIterations`	Integer, default: 25000	Maximum number of runs for LASSO regression convergence. If set to 0, regular OLS is used instead of LASSO.
