Big Data from Earth Observation: analytics, mining, semantics

Kurzfassung

There is an unceasing interest in a global understanding of the processes governing the Earth involving observations of large extended areas, and over long periods of time, with a broad variety of Earth Observation (EO) sensors. The collected EO data volumes are increasing immensely, with the current EO technologies these will further grow rapidly, the horizons lie beyond Zettabytes of data. The challenge is the exploration of these data and the timely delivery of focused information and knowledge in a simple understandable format.
