Sessions
This presentation demonstrates how GeoServer enables efficient management, discovery, and visualization of large Earth observation datasets. Through real-world examples, it covers indexing (STAC/OpenSearch), Cloud Optimized GeoTIFFs, mosaicking and filtering, data extraction (WCS/WPS), time-based animations, and band algebra, highlighting GeoServer’s latest capabilities in satellite imagery workflows.
This presentation highlights how GeoSolutions leverages cloud infrastructure and geospatial technologies to enable precision farming at scale. Drawing on 10 years of experience, it covers data ingestion, optimization, modeling, and GeoServer deployment strategies, along with real-time visualization techniques for designing scalable, high-performance agricultural data solutions.
