Tutorials - Kevin Lacaille, Mansi Shah: Eroding Coastlines: A Geospatial & Computer Vision Analysis

In this tutorial, Mansi Shah and Kevin Lacaille from Planet present a comprehensive analysis of coastal erosion using Python and satellite imagery. They cover essential geospatial and computer vision concepts, demonstrating how to process and analyze raster data with libraries like Rasterio, NumPy, and OpenCV. The session includes hands-on examples, such as calculating the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) to identify water bodies and applying morphological filters to improve segmentation, ultimately leading to a real-world case study on coastal erosion in Bangladesh, where they quantify land loss over time and discuss implications for environmental management.
