Objectives

• Platform for collaborative validation of remotely sensed data

• Infrastructure to support multi-tenant visualization of moderate to very-high resolution data

• Interactive dashboard for data and validation analysis

Installation

The following library is intended to be used to accelerate the development of validation products for remote sensing satellite imagery, or any other applications. eo-validation can be installed by itself, but instructions for installing the full environment are listed under the requirements directory so projects, examples, and notebooks can be run.

The original implementation of this tool was implemented with the cloud-based DaskHub environment in mind, but additional guidance and installation scripts are provided to support the portability of the tool on commodity-based and on-premises environments.

eo-validation is available on PyPI. To install eo-validation, run this command in your terminal:

pip install eo-validation

eo-validation is also available on conda-forge. If you have Anaconda or Miniconda installed on your computer, you can create a conda Python environment to install eo-validation:

conda create -n eo-validation-env jupyter ipysheet leafmap geopandas localtileserver rioxarray --channel anaconda --channel conda-forge
conda activate eo-validation-env
pip install eo-validation

Optionally, you can install Jupyter notebook extensions, which can improve your productivity in the notebook environment. Some useful extensions include Table of Contents, Gist-it, Autopep8, Variable Inspector, etc. See this post for more information.

conda install jupyter_contrib_nbextensions -c conda-forge

If you have installed eo-validation before and want to upgrade to the latest version, you can run the following command in your terminal:

pip install -U eo-validation

If you use conda, you can update eo-validation to the latest version by running the following command in your terminal:

conda update -c conda-forge eo-validation
