An openEO back-end driver for geospatial data science using the Pangeo software stack

About the course

During the winter semester 2020/21 the bachelor students at the Institute for Geoinformatics (ifgi) were challenged to develop an openEO back-end driver using latest Python-based numerical processing libraries. The openEO project developed an API for exposing the power of big Earth observation cloud infrastructures in a standardised way based on the data cube paradigm. The openEO API allows users to easily switch between service and infrastructure providers and use the most suitable or cost-effective solution. In the "story" of the seminar, a startup wants to provide a new implementation of the openEO API based on the Pangeo software stack (xarray, Dask) to its customers and the students are hired to do just that. The group achieved quite impressive results, including a complex CI test setup, nicely demonstrated in a number of Jupyter Notebooks.
