Unit Conversion

Convert the length and area units you meet constantly in remote sensing — metres, kilometres, feet and miles; square metres, hectares, acres and square kilometres. Converts live as you type.

Band Combinations

Pick a satellite and what you want to see. Get the exact R-G-B band recipe — with the physical band each channel maps to — plus a short note on what the composite reveals.

Spectral Indices Calculator

Choose an index, enter the band reflectances it needs, and get the exact value with its formula. Ratio-based indices are scale-independent, so surface reflectance (0–1) or scaled values both work.

Calculate an index

Enter band values to compute.

UTM Zone Finder

Enter a longitude and latitude to get the correct UTM zone, hemisphere, EPSG code and central meridian — everything you need to set the right projection before you start.

Map Scale Calculator

Enter a distance measured on the map and the real ground distance it represents. Get the standard representative fraction, e.g. 1:50,000.

Compute the scale

Enter both distances.

Classification Accuracy

Enter the four cells of a binary confusion matrix to get Overall Accuracy, the Kappa coefficient (with its Landis & Koch strength rating), and the per-class user's and producer's accuracy.

Index Value Interpreter

Enter a spectral index value and see which physical class it falls into, where it sits on the accepted threshold scale, and the primary academic reference.

Cloud Cover & Usability Scorer

Turn a scene's cloud, shadow and snow metadata into a single usability score so you can decide at a glance whether an image is worth downloading.

BBox & GeoJSON Extractor

Drag a rectangle on the canvas — or type exact bounds — to define a study area, then copy it out as a bbox array, GeoJSON, WKT, or a ready-to-run Earth Engine geometry.

Pixel-to-Ground Area Calculator

Turn a pixel count and a sensor resolution into real-world ground area and footprint — so you know exactly how much land a raster, tile or study extent actually covers.

Seasonality & Date Planner

Enter your study latitude and what you're mapping, and get the acquisition months that give the cleanest, most useful imagery — before you spend time searching archives.

Multi-Index Synergy Recommender

Pick your analysis target and get the complementary stack of spectral indices that cross-validate each other — so a single index's blind spots don't drive your result.

Target Threshold Matrix Generator

Choose a land-cover target and get a decision matrix of index thresholds you can drop straight into a classification rule set or a methods section — exportable as CSV or Markdown.

Generate a threshold matrix

These are literature-derived starting thresholds. Optimal cut-offs shift with sensor, atmospheric correction, season and region — calibrate against ground truth before operational use.
