The MCA Department of Ajay Kumar Garg Engineering College has successfully organized the training programme “Geodata Processing using Python & Machine Learning,” in collaboration with IIRS–ISRO, from 09 February 2026 to 20 February 2026.
ABOUT
Indian Institute of Remote Sensing (IIRS) under Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), Department of Space, Govt. of India is a premier Training and Educational Institute set up for developing trained professionals in the field of Remote Sensing, Geoinformatics and GNSS Technology for Natural Resources, Environmental and Disaster Management. Formerly known as Indian Photo-interpretation Institute (IPI), founded in 1966, the Institute boasts to be the first of its kind in entire South-East Asia. While nurturing its primary endeavour to build capacity among the user community by training mid-career professionals, the Institute has enhanced its capability and evolved many training and education programmes that are tuned to meet the requirements of various target groups, ranging from fresh graduates to policy makers including academia.
IIRS also conducts e-learning programme on Remote Sensing and Geoinformation Science (http://elearning.iirs.gov.in).
OBJECTIVES
In today’s world, vast quantities of satellite imagery and geospatial data are being generated from diverse sources, many of which are available at little or no cost. When integrated with advanced Geographic Information Systems (GIS), these datasets become powerful assets for a broad spectrum of applications, including environmental management, disaster response, climate change assessment, natural resource planning, wildlife conservation, and land‑cover classification. The principal challenge, however, lies not in data availability but in the ability to process these extensive datasets efficiently and extract meaningful insights. Leveraging machine learning techniques through Python offers a robust solution to this challenge. Machine learning enables the automation of complex analytical tasks, the detection of intricate patterns, and the generation of reliable predictions—thereby accelerating data processing while significantly enhancing analytical precision.
- Develop Python programs to read, write, and process various raster data formats.
- Develop Python programs to read, write, and process different vector data formats.
- Demonstrate a clear understanding of fundamental machine learning concepts.
- Apply selected machine learning algorithms for geospatial data analysis and processing.
