RasterFrames™, a proposed LocationTech project, brings the power of Spark SQL and Spark ML to the analysis of global-scale geospatial-temporal raster data. Employing the rich geospatial primitives of LocationTech GeoTrellis and GeoMesa, RasterFrames provides scientists, data scientists and software developers with a unified data and compute model for building image processing pipelines for ETL, data-product creation, statistical analysis, supervised & unsupervised machine learning, and deep learning. Data scientists particularly benefit from the DataFrame-centric entrypoint into big data geospatial analytics. This talk will introduce RasterFrames, explaining the need it fulfills, the capabilities it provides, and context for determining if RasterFrames is right for the problems you're trying to solve.

Using Deep Learning to Derive 3D Cities from Satellite Imagery

Astraea, Inc.

Detection and reconstruction of 3D buildings in urban areas has been a hot topic of research due to its many applications, including 3D population density studies, emergency planning, and building value estimation. Standard approaches to extract building footprint and measure building height rely on either aerial or space borne point cloud data, which in many areas is unavailable. In contrast, high resolution satellite imagery has become more readily available in recent years, and could provide enough information to estimate a building’s height. Recent successes of deep learning on semantic segmentation have shown that convolutional neural networks can be effective tools at extracting 2D building footprints. Using a digital surface model derived using FOSS and LiDAR data as ground truth, this study goes a step further by employing state of the art deep learning architectures such as U-net to infer both building footprints and estimated building heights in one pass from a single satellite image. This application of open deep learning frameworks can bring the benefits of 3D cities to a larger portion of the world.

Pseudoranges from your Android smartphone

Lukasz Kosma Bonenberg

The latest version of Android, Nougat (v7.x), was released in late 2016, and offers access to raw GNSS measurements. Google demonstrated functionality to obtain Pseudoranges, Dopplers and Carrier Phase from a phone or tablet last September at the Institute of Navigation’s conference. This seminar will explain the current API, hardware limitations and possible future advantages of this exciting new development. We will discuss data collection, raw measurements and demo processing example in Matlab and Python.

The advancement of technology in the last decade or so has allowed astronomy to see exponential growth in data volumes. ESA's space telescope Euclid will gather high-resolution images of a third of the sky, ~850GB of data downloaded daily for 6 years, by 2032 ground-based telescope LSST will have generated 500PB of data and the radio telescope SKA will be producing more data per second than the entire internet worldwide. This talk will address the questions of what current techniques exist to address big data volumes, how the astronomical community will prepare for this big data wave, and what other challenges lie ahead?

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics

Dorra BARTAGUIZ

After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !

KatiaHIMEUR1

Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster. However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks. In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management. The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM). Speakers: Bob Boule Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle. Gopinath Rebala Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved: - Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day - Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives - Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO) Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production. We will cover: - How to remove silos in DevSecOps - How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates - How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence) - How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
