Machine Learning in GIS and Remote Sensing: 5 Courses in 1

This course is designed to equip you with the theoretical and practical knowledge of Machine Learning and Deep Learning in QGIS and ArcGIS as applied for geospatial analysis, namely Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing. By the end of the course, you will feel confident and completely understand the Machine and Deep Learning applications in Remote Sensing & GIS technology and how to use Machine and Deep Learning algorithms for various Remote Sensing & GIS tasks, such as land use and land cover mapping (classifications) and object-based image analysis (segmentation, object detection) and regression modeling in QGIS and ArcGIS software. This course will also prepare you for using GIS with open source and free tools (QGIS) and a market-leading software (ArcGIS).
This course is designed to take users who use QGIS & ArcGIS for basic geospatial data/GIS/Remote Sensing analysis to perform more advanced geospatial analysis tasks including object-based image analysis using a variety of different data and applying Deep Learning & Machine Learning state of the art algorithms. In addition to making you proficient in QGIS for spatial data analysis, you will be introduced to another powerful processing toolbox – Orfeo Toolbox, and to the exciting capabilities of ArcMap and ArcGIS PRO!
In the course, you will be able to apply such Machine Learning algorithms as Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, Decision Trees, Convolutional Neural Networks (and others) for Remote Sensing and geospatial tasks. You will also learn how to conduct regression modeling for GIS tasks in ArcGIS. On top of that, you will practice GIS & Remote Sensing by completing two independent GIS projects by exploring the power of Machine Learning and Deep Learning analysis in QGIS and ArcGIS.
This course is different from other training resources. Each lecture seeks to enhance your GIS and Remote Sensing skills in a demonstrable and easy-to-follow manner and provide you with practically implementable solutions. You’ll be able to start analyzing spatial data for your projects and gain appreciation from your future employers with your advanced GIS & Remote Sensing skills and knowledge of cutting-edge geospatial methods.
The course is ideal for professionals such as geographers, programmers, social scientists, geologists, GIS & Remote Sensing experts, and all other experts who need to use maps in their field and would like to learn more about Machine Learning in GIS.
One important part of the course is the practical exercises. You will be given some precise instructions and datasets to create maps based on Machine Learning algorithms using the QGIS and ArcGIS software tools.
