In this forum, Camilla Mahon with Mapbox will discuss the evolving landscape of hardware and software tooling in the remote sensing industry with emphasis on common open source software solutions for wrangling pixels, the implications of cloud computing and importance of scale, the variety of satellites, planes, and UAVs being used for data collection, and the complicated ownership over different parts of image collection and processing pipelines. In addition to toolsets, she will highlight how some of these technologies are being applied in the realms of disaster response, forestry/ag, and global weather monitoring.
