Abstract:

In this session, explore the transformative potential of edge computing in the realm of drone and satellite data analytics. As the volume of data collected by drones and satellites continues to grow exponentially, traditional data processing methods face significant challenges in terms of latency, bandwidth, and cost. Edge computing offers a solution by enabling data processing closer to the data source, thus enhancing efficiency and enabling real-time analytics. This session will cover the principles of edge computing, its integration with drone and satellite data workflows, and practical implementation on real-life case studies.
