[PS3-2-4] Earth Observation Big Data

Term Big data refers to any collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand data management tools or traditional data processing applications. In the field of Earth Observation (EO) is usually refers to large time series of image data which size on disk is much greater than hosting computer’s main memory. EO Big Data offers solution that allows not only storing these data on disk but also efficiently process them.
