This course aims to provide an introduction to the Remote Sensing and GIS Library developed by Pete Bunting and Dan Clewley, and the stack of open source software commonly used in combination with it.
Software
In addition to RSGISLib, this worksheet makes use of the open source Geospatial Data Abstraction Library (GDAL), the TuiView image viewer (TuiView) the Raster Input/Output Simplification library (RIOS) library and scikit-learn machine learning library. These software are freely available and can be used on a wide variety of computing platforms from desktops to large scale high performance computing (HPC) systems and cloud systems such as Amazon or Google. Together they form a system for performing spatial image analysis, primarily derived from remote sensing imagery(Clewley et al., 2014).
