#ARD21
ARD21 Satellite Data Interoperability Workshop, October 25-29, 2021.
The ARD21 Satellite Data Interoperability Workshop aims to advance interoperability and collaboration in the Earth observation and remote sensing industry. It builds on the success of the ARD20/ARD19/ARD18 workshops, expanding the scope of collaboration beyond just API’s and data formats, to include interoperability at the data level as well as sensor fusion and derived products. There is a growing trend of Analysis Ready Data, and so with this event we convene a group of experts to start to define standards for cross-provider ARD.
Program Team
Goals
Advance the ARD specification for greater stability and more use cases
Coordinate and survey trends on Data formatting for Analysis Ready Data
Contribution and hosting of benchmark ARD datasets
Definition of reference implementations of every step of harmonization for ARDs to be implemented by vendors and data providers
Move beyond discussion to start to establish standards of interoperability for Analysis Ready Data
Survey new technology, payloads and data sources that support the creation of ARD
Program
The program is divided into into 5 themes revolving around the interplay between interoperability at different levels and the ability to leverage heterogeneous datasets for sensor fusion:
MONDAY: DATA SOURCES
TUESDAY: CALIBRATION AND VALIDATION
WEDNESDAY: SENSOR FUSION
THURSDAY: INTEROPERABILITY PIPELINES
FRIDAY: FUTURE OF ARD
