Aims
This module introduces data science in the context of spatial data manipulation and processing. It develops skills in the processing, analysis and manipulation of spatial data including vector, raster, image and time series data. It builds on existing scripting skills and develops them in the spatial context. It provides an introduction to software and systems that will underpin further studies and facilitate individual research projects.
Outline Of Syllabus
This module covers:
• Data in the spatial context
• Vector and Raster models
• Image manipulation
• Using Data APIs and Time-Series processing
• Time Series data
• Machine Learning and AI introduction
Learning Outcomes
Intended Knowledge Outcomes
1. To build on the foundations of Data Science and place that knowledge in the subject domain
2. To prepare students for the skills and knowledge to manipulate data through scripts and programmes for 3rd year project
3. To introduce students to data analysis and visualisation techniques
Intended Skill Outcomes
1. Introduce a range of tools and libraries for the manipulation of digital, spatial data
2. Provide an understanding of spatial data structures and common data formats and types
3. Develop skills in data handling, data cleaning, data analysis and and data visualisation
4. Develop subject specific programming and scripting skills within current software and tools
