Session
ArkEdge Insights is a web-based geospatial information platform that integrates satellite imagery, drone data, IoT sensor data, weather data, and public datasets for analysis, visualization, and decision-making. In this lightning talk, ArkEdge Space will introduce how the platform uses open source geospatial technologies such as MapLibre GL JS, STAC, and TiTiler to build reusable applications for agriculture, disaster response, environmental monitoring, and climate adaptation. We will briefly share practical lessons from developing user-oriented geospatial services that connect Earth observation data with real-world operational needs.
