GEO Week and the Ministerial Summit will provide an opportunity to highlight contributions, commitments and Earth observation solutions on a global stage.
Open Data Cube and CEOS at IGARSS 2023
Brian Killough of the CEOS Systems Engineering Office (SEO) and Patrick Griffiths of the European Space Agency (ESA) co-chaired two IGARSS sessions focused on Cloud-based Platform Environments for Earth Observation (EO). These sessions were well attended (over 60 people) and reviewed a mix of EO platforms for enabling science and applications. The papers addressed several ESA-funded initiatives including the Multi-Mission Algorithm and Analysis Platform (MAAP), the OpenEO platform, the Deep Earth System Data Lab (ESDL), and the Euro Data Cube. There were also papers addressing CEOS SEO testing of the Open Data Cube on cloud computing frameworks and the new Digital Earth Pacific initiative. The 10 papers presented in these sessions were great examples of a growing interest in cloud-based computing environments for EO data and how such systems can improve the user experience and produce more efficient and powerful application products. During this session, Joshua Baptist of Analytical Mechanics and Associates, Inc. (AMA) presented a paper titled “Integration of the Open Data Cube on Common Cloud Frameworks”, which introduced the ODC framework, and discussed the use of ODC in the cloud. With increased popularity, ODC is facing an increased demand for the computational power and storage capabilities required to analyze large spatial and temporal datasets. Cloud resource providers have bolstered their computational and satellite data offerings, simplifying access and management so that average users are able to tailor systems to their specific needs. Consequently, there exists substantial community interest in the comparative capabilities and technological performance of different cloud providers. Making informed choices in cloud providers offerings is crucial for optimizing geospatial data management and processing to meet user-specific needs. In this paper we begin to evaluate the deployment and performance of the ODC, standard notebooks, and datasets, to better determine functional differences. The paper found that datasets saved in the local environment execute operations significantly faster than from the cloud, Google Earth Engine (GEE) has longer execution times when the metadata for a given asset is indexed locally, and that more thorough benchmarking is required to better understand the end-to-end performance of EO processes on the cloud. Will link to the paper when it becomes available to the public.ODC was also a feature at the CEOS Exhibition Booth, with a section on the main pull up banner, as well as a smaller individual pull up banner. Participants asked frequently for more details on ODC, and how it can help them in their research.Check out the CEOS newsletter article about this event here

Living Planet Symposium
May 13-17, 2019, Milan, Italy
Open and standard-based approaches to Big EO data architecture
This session will encompass a series of presentations that, together, outline an emerging pattern for an open approach to Big EO data delivery, processing, and analysis. The goal is to develop an architecture that promotes the reuse of EO data, tools and algorithms to allow scientists, researchers, and the businesses to harness “big EO data” at a minimum cost and effort.
