There is a need to enable rapid transfer of new technologies;techniques and expertise from ICT domains and artificial intelligence communities to the world of EO research and application. Specific communities;such as the Artificial Intelligence (AI) community are already formulating specific requirements toward EO data and product providers. Improved data analysis is a key driver to increase the usability and use of Earth Observation data;in particular by user communities which have not been acquainted with EO. The action will survey existing/new Big Data Technologies and tecniques;and assess their applicability in Earth Observation.
First dedicated session held at WGISS#46 meeting in October 2018. Next planned at WGISS#47.
A workshop was dedicated to the topic of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at WGISS-47 in Silver Sprint, MD. The talks from that workshop were:
With respect to targeting emerging trends, during WGISS 51 (April 2021) several presentations were given on the topic of Jupyter Notebooks followed by substantive discussions. This topic among others (e.g. Commercial Cloud) will be further discussed during WGISS 52 (October 2021)
