Leveraging KyFromAbove with Cloud-Friendly Tools
Thursday October 10, 2024 9:45am - 10:15am EDT
Demo Theater - Elliot
For years, the KyFromAbove Program has offered unlimited access to imagery and elevation data collected for the Commonwealth via Web Maps, Rest Services, Geoportal, and most recently, the Open Data Portal.  Since joining the Open Data Registry on AWS, it is now possible to leverage KyFromAbove data using its cloud-optimized formats (e.g., COGS, COPCs, Geopackage, (Geo)Parquat, etc.).

Spatio-Temporal Asset Catalogs, or STACs, provide a common structure to describe and catalog spatio-temporal assets. This means that by creating a STAC, it is possible to create a dynamic (API) or static catalog to query and visualize KyFromAbove data. Such tools are available to access STACs using ArcGIS Pro 3.2+, QGIS (plus STAC-browser extension), Jupyter Notebooks, and the browser-based Stac-Browser and Stac Index webpages.

This presentation will focus on leveraging STAC tools and the KyFromAbove STAC Catalog.
