Language: en
Type: Talk

Abstract: Due to its effectiveness and simplicity, Python is spreading as a choice for handling geospatial data. From running algorithms capable of extracting geo-referred insights or processing geo archives, Python could represent a powerful tool to handle geo-related problems thanks to an extensive set of libraries.
The training will give an overview about processing geospatial data with Python. 
An approximate agenda will include:

- Introduction 
       - setting up the the environment
       - an introduction to geospatial world
- Working with geospatial data
     - playing with geo archives (vector/rasters)
     - extracting geo analytics
     - Vector tiles big vector data
     - Apache Spark for geospatial raster analysis
- Python for Earth observation 
     - Classifying earth observation images
     - Extracting insights from Copernicus products
     - Use SNAP from Python

No tools are required for attending this training. 
Bring your PC with Docker installed. Further instructions will be provided.
