Previous knowledge expected

Basics programming skills. Basic principles of remote sensing and image classification.
Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)

During this course the students will learn to design and deploy machine learning algorithms as well as to use cloud computing for the analysis of remote sensing images. Both machine learning and cloud computing topics are explained using real world cases.
