The cloud based geoprocessing platform actinia is able to ingest and analyse large volumes of geodata already present in the cloud. Due to its scalability of the cloud platform insights and tailor made information are delivered in near real-time. actinia is free and open source software, available on GitHub. Actinia is an open source REST API for scalable, distributed, high performance processing of geographical data that mainly uses GRASS GIS for computational tasks. It provides a REST API to e.g. process satellite images, time series of satellite images, arbitrary raster data with…

The Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (https://grass.osgeo.org/), commonly referred to as GRASS GIS, is an Open Source Geographic Information System providing powerful raster, vector and geospatial processing capabilities in a single integrated software suite. GRASS GIS includes tools for spatial modeling, visualization of raster and vector data, management and analysis of geospatial data, and the processing of satellite and aerial imagery. It also provides the capability to produce sophisticated presentation graphics and hardcopy maps. GRASS GIS has been translated into about…
