Maps in Motion: Introduction to the STAC Video Extension
2022-08-24, 17:15–17:45 (Europe/Rome), Room Onice

This talk will introduce a new Spatiotemporal Asset Catalog (STAC) extension for geospatial video assets. The extension is designed to standardize the metadata for all types of overhead geospatial video assets, including those collected by satellite, UAV, or airborne sensors, while accommodating situations in which the sensor moves throughout the video. The talk will include a brief overview of the STAC ecosystem (elements and extensions), and explain the Video extension’s schema. In addition, there will be a complete end-to-end demonstration including data preprocessing and STAC item creation (entirely using FOSS tools), and a FOSS method for displaying STAC Video extension-enabled items on an interactive map. The audience need not prepare in any way for this introductory presentation, although some background in STAC and geospatial video might be beneficial. Otherwise, this talk has a broad appeal for data professionals through to frontend developers who are keen to add some motion to their maps!
