Geospatial Data Processing using Python (Martin Christen) (Switzerland) is an English session in the online PyCon HK 2020 Spring.
The need for processing small-scale to large-scale spatial data is huge. In this talk, it is shown how to analyze, manipulate and visualize geospatial data by using Python and various open source modules.
Geospatial data is data containing a spatial component – describing objects with a reference to the planet’s surface. This data usually consists of a spatial component, of various attributes, and sometimes of a time reference (where, what, and when). Efficient processing and visualization of small to large-scale spatial data is a challenging task. This talk describes how to process and visualize geospatial data using Python and the Jupyter Notebook. For the examples, open data, such as OpenStreetMap is used.
