An Interactive Visual Analytics Tool for Big Earth Observation Data Content Estimation

Kurzfassung

This paper introduces a tool designed to provide an innovative and insightful way of exploring Earth observation data content beyond visualization, by addressing a visual analytics process. The considered framework combines machine learning and visualization techniques, empowered through human interaction, to gain knowledge from the data. The proposed tool- eVADE leverages the methodologies developed in the fields of information retrieval, data mining and knowledge representation by the means of a visual analytics component. eVADE increases users capability to understand and extract meaningful semantic clusters together with quantitative measurements, presented in a suggestive visual way.
