On the agenda

Workshop Track: Analysis at Scale Facilitator

Rasterio

Meridian D/E • Thu, Sep 20 • 12:00AM

Learn how installation of the satellite data processing stack is used at Mapbox, how to use the Rasterio library, and how to integrate Rasterio with Numpy and cloud platform libraries to access and transform satellite data. Difficulty: Intermediate. Prerequisites: Cloud computing & Python.
Workshop Track: Machine Learning Facilitators

Label Maker and Robosat

Oceanic A/B • Thu, Sep 20 • 12:00AM

There are a handful of existing annotated datasets for satellite imagery, but they’re mostly limited to urban regions in Western countries. This presents a challenge when attempting to use machine learning algorithms in non-Western regions. This workshop will show you how to generate custom data for feature extraction from aerial and satellite imagery. We’ll use two open source tools, Label Maker and RobotSat, to prepare the data, train an algorithm, and predict over a test area. Difficulty: Intermediate. Prerequisites: Basic understanding of machine learning, satellite imagery, and OpenStreetMap.
