Planetary Spatial Data Infrastructure and Analysis Ready Data

Presented by Jason Laura (US Geological Survey)
ML4PSP Seminar October 2021

Spatial data efficacy is a primary concern for any scientists making use of spatial data products. The field of planetary spatial data infrastructure (PSDI) includes work to classify and identify foundational data products with well communicated spatial accuracies to ensure appropriate data use. Under the auspices of PSDI, the nascent push for analysis ready data (ARD) provides a rich opportunity space where data sets are both made available in machine learning ready formats and the ML community is actively engaged to improve the discoverability of said data. I will present a brief overview of PSDI and planetary ARD as they relate to potential ML activities.
