FOSS4G 2023 workshops

Orfeo ToolBox guided tour : develop Python tools with OTB
2023-06-26, 14:00–18:00 (Europe/Tirane), UBT C / N110 - Second Floor

We will present you Orfeo ToolBox and you will learn how to access and launch applications to build a small but realistic processing chain in Python, mixing OTB with other Python libraries. We will also talk about code / memory optimization.


We will first introduce Orfeo ToolBox and present the purpose of the processing chain (build water masks to count islands, using a satellite image time series) :
- open images
- compute & extract features from these images
- compute a water mask, combine water masks

You will either work on your own laptop or use a python notebook.

We will take a closer look at memory/cpu optimization in order to build a scalable processing chain.

I'm working at CNES (the french space agency) and am specialised in data extraction from satellite images.
I'm also member of OTB Project Steering Committee.
