The amount of the available geospatial data grows at an ever faster pace. This leads to the constantly increasing demand for processing power and storage in order to provide data analysis in a timely manner. At the same time, a lot of…
The NASA Planetary Data System hosts millions of images acquired from the planet Mars. To help users quickly find images of interest, we have developed and deployed content-based classification and search capabilities for Mars orbital and…
Image based localization is a classical computer vision challenge, with several well-known datasets. Generally, datasets consist of a visual 3D database that captures the modeled scenery, as well as query images whose 3D pose is to be…
Autoplot is software developed for the Virtual Observatories in Heliophysics to provide intelligent and automated plotting capabilities for many typical data products that are stored in a variety of file formats or databases. Autoplot has…
The development of analytical software for big Earth observation data faces several challenges. Designers need to balance between conflicting factors. Solutions that are efficient for specific hardware architectures can not be used in other…
With the goal of simplifying the access to science data to scientists and citizens, ESA recently released ESASky (http://sky.esa.int), a new open-science easy-to-use portal with the science-ready Astronomy data from ESA and other major data…
Sky surveys represent a fundamental data basis for astronomy. We use them to map in a systematic way the universe and its constituents, and to discover new types of objects or phenomena. We review the subject, with an emphasis on the…
Recent years have witnessed growing consolidation of web operations. For example, the majority of web traffic now originates from a few organizations, and even micro-websites often choose to host on large pre-existing cloud infrastructures.…
Low-latency delivery of satellite imagery is essential for time-critical applications such as disaster response, intelligence, and infrastructure monitoring. However, traditional pipelines rely on downlinking all captured images before…
Data volumes from multiple sky surveys have grown from gigabytes into terabytes during the past decade, and will grow from terabytes into tens (or hundreds) of petabytes in the next decade. This exponential growth of new data both enables…
Nowadays, society has recognized that the lack of access to spatial data and tools for their analysis is the limiting factor of economic development. It came to the realization that without the single information space, which is implemented…
ImageNet is a large scale and publicly available image database. It currently offers more than 14 millions of images, organised according to the WordNet hierarchy. One of the main objective of the creators is to provide to the research…
Modern astronomical surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) provide extensive astronomical databases enabling researchers to access vast amount of diverse data. However, retrieving data from archives requires knowledge of query…
As an on-ramp to databases, we offer several well-structured private database templates as open source resources for agriculturalists, particularly those with modest spreadsheet skills. These farmer-oriented Air table databases use simple…
Geospatial data come from various sources, such as satellites, aircraft, and LiDAR. The variability of the source is not limited to the types of data acquisition techniques, as we have maps from different time periods. To incorporate these…
Accurately characterizing land surface changes with Earth Observation requires geo-localized ground truth. In the European Union (EU), a tri-annual surveyed sample of land cover and land use has been collected since 2006 under the Land…
The Sand Atlas is a publicly accessible repository dedicated to the collection, processing, and sharing of high-resolution 3D models of sand-sized particles. This dataset offers valuable insights into the morphology of a wide variety of…
During more than 17 years of operation in space INTEGRAL telescope has accumulated large data set that contains records of hard X-ray and soft gamma-ray astronomical sources. These data can be re-used in the context of multi-wavelength or…
In this digitalised world where every information is stored, the data a are growing exponentially. It is estimated that data are doubles itself every two years. Geospatial data are one of the prime contributors to the big data scenario.…
The primary use of technical computing in the oil and gas industries is for seismic imaging of the earth's subsurface, driven by the business need for making well-informed drilling decisions during petroleum exploration and production.…
