Creates a task to export an EE Image to Drive. This function is a wrapper around
ee$batch$Export$image$toDrive(...).

Arguments

image

Image to be exported.

description

User-friendly name of the task.

folder

Folder name in the user's Drive account where the export will be stored. Default is "rgee-backup".

fileNamePrefix

Prefix for the export filename in Google Drive. Defaults to the task name.

timePrefix

Prefixes the current date and time to the exported files.

dimensions

Defines the image dimensions for export. It can be specified as a single positive integer for the maximum dimension or in "WIDTHxHEIGHT" format, where WIDTH and HEIGHT are positive integers.

region

The lon,lat coordinates for a LinearRing or Polygon specifying the region to export. It can be specified as nested lists of numbers or a serialized string. Defaults to the image's region.

scale

Image resolution in meters per pixel. Defaults to the native resolution of the image asset unless a crsTransform is specified.

crs

Coordinate reference system of the exported image's projection. Defaults to the image's default projection.

crsTransform

A comma-separated string of 6 numbers describing the affine transform of the coordinate reference system of the exported image's projection, in the order: xScale, xShearing, xTranslation, yShearing, yScale, and yTranslation. Defaults to the image's native CRS transform.

maxPixels

Maximum number of pixels allowed in the exported image. The task will fail if the exported region exceeds this limit in the specified projection. Defaults to 100,000,000.

shardSize

Size given in pixels of the shards in which the image will be computed. Defaults to 256.

fileDimensions

Defines the pixel dimensions for each image file when the image size exceeds the capacity of a single file.To indicate a square shape, use a single number; for width and height, use a list of two dimensions. Please note that the image will be clipped to the overall image dimensions. The specified file dimensions must be a multiple of the shardSize.

skipEmptyTiles

If TRUE, skip writing empty (i.e., fully-masked) image tiles. Defaults to FALSE.

fileFormat

The string file format to which the image is exported. Currently only 'GeoTIFF' and 'TFRecord' are supported, defaults to 'GeoTIFF'.

formatOptions

A dictionary of string keys to format-specific options. **kwargs: Holds other keyword arguments that may have been deprecated, such as 'crs_transform', 'driveFolder', and 'driveFileNamePrefix'.

Value

An unstarted task that exports the image to Drive.
