Time-lapse Images
For the midterm project, what I tried to do was a time-lapse image sequences where I retrieve satellite images from nasa's database using nasa's api.
In 2004, the tsunami hit the southwest coast of southern Thailand which is where I'm from. I saw the before and aftermath of how much damages the mother earth can do so I was inspired and intrigued in exploring free catalog of satellite imagery and geospatial datasets where there were major differences in map trends and detect changes of the Earth's surface.
I used nasa's earth imagery api.
Concept
I started off by retrieving the url images of the same location and calculated backwards. (minus 16 days :: the satellite's orbital timeframe)
The nasa api returned JSON, so I use "npm requestify" to turn the JSON into images
I did not get far in this assignment, because I did not realize how ambitious I was. However, I learned many things that did not work.
