"Open Data Cube and Jupyter Notebooks with a focus on Burgeoning Role of Python for Earth Observation Data Analysis" - Syed Rizvi (CEOS SEO)

ABSTRACT: The Python programming language has many advantages as a tool for scientific computing, remote sensing, and machine learning. In fact, Python is one of the most popular programming languages for research in these fields, even though it was not created with these applications in mind. The major advantages that make Python a great fit for scientific computing and remote sensing are its extensive standard library and selection of add-on packages, its readability, its ease of programming compared to other languages, and the great quantity of help resources easily found online. This talk will focus on the use of the Jupyter notebook that allows developers to parse their code into blocks which can be run independently of each other, with variables stored in the background. Dividing the code up in this way can save vast amounts of time while developing a program, as it allows developers to test their code a few lines at a time, without running other lengthy processes included in the program. As an example, for the water classification application that we have recently developed, we have used a Jupyter notebook to prevent the need to load a new Data Cube or retrain a machine learning algorithm every time we needed to check the output of a smaller function within the program. Using a Jupyter notebook certainly saved us large number of hours over the course of the development process. We will demos some of the interesting Open Data Cube Jupyter notebooks that we have recently developed.

"Open Data Cubes" - Dr. Robert Woodcock (CSIRO), Dr.Brian Killough (CEOS SEO)

ABSTRACT: Recent work by WGISS members has been fleshing out the concept of Data Cubes to enable analysis of large Earth Observation data sets. Please join us as Rob Woodcock of CSIRO (Australia) and Brian Killough of the CEOS System Engineering Office provide an introduction to Data Cubes. Rob will set the stage for Data Cubes with user needs, key features and basic high-level architecture, followed by Brian to talk about some more of the inner workings of Data Cubes.- Dr. Brian Killough, Dr. Robert Woodcock
