Data preparation: 1. Introduction and image data

Abstract

Data preparation Data holds the answers to all manner of questions and analysis methods can extract those answers - linking the two is “data preparation”. Anyone interested in working with data will likely need to know at least some of the principles outlined. Furthermore, cross-discipline data analysis is part of the scientific progress. This workshop offers the opportunity to look into data preparation procedures for different data types and to learn about their individual characteristics: 1. Introduction and image data An introduction to the preparation of data for analysis, beginning with the initial production or acquisition through to an analysis ready dataset. The specific case of image data will then be discussed in more detail using examples from satellite-based Earth Observation.
