Lesson 1: Introduction to Remote Sensing Data and Python Setup

🛰️ What is Remote Sensing Data?

Remote sensing data typically includes two types: raster data (e.g., satellite images) and vector data (e.g., boundaries, roads). This article introduces these concepts and helps set up your Python environment.

🛠️ Python Environment Setup

Recommended conda setup:

conda create -n geopython python=3.10
conda activate geopython
conda install geopandas rasterio rioxarray matplotlib jupyterlab
