    Event description

    This short course will cover a hands-on introduction to satellite imagery, image processing, and Earth observation data analysis techniques.

    Through examples involving real-world data, you will learn the fundamentals of Data Science analyses and image processing, how to obtain satellite imagery and combine it with other georeferenced datasets, and how to explore research questions using satellite imagery. You will ultimately learn how to develop a software pipeline to extract, manipulate, and visualise Earth Observation (EO) imagery.

    Course dates

    Oct 15 - Nov 14, 2024. This includes 10 hands-on workshops: 2 x 2-hour workshops in the first two weeks, and 2 x 3-hour workshops in the final three weeks.

    Course content

    The workshops and online material will include explanations of key concepts, hands-on coding exercises, and applied EO data analysis projects where you can apply your new skills to real-world satellite imagery. The course will cover the following key themes:

    Satellite imagery fundamentals

    • Different types of satellites and associated imagery
    • Fundamentals of image processing
    • Satellite orbits and Earth observation sensors

    Data Science best practise

    • Cleaning, validating, and transforming your data
    • Coding best practise
    • Data science project organisation

    Visualising satellite imagery

    • Basic data visualisation in Python and Matplotlib
    • Combining raster and vector images
    • Interactive maps with Folium

    Earth observation data platforms

    • Digital Earth Australia Sandbox
    • Google Earth Engine
    • Extracting relevant satellite imagery

    Data analyses with satellite imagery

    • Exploring research questions with satellite imagery
