North Eastern Spatial Data Repository (NeSDR)

Geo-Analytics of NeSDR is a hub for geospatial big analytics that brings the center’s massive computational capabilities to address a variety of high-impact societal issues including deforestation, disaster, disease, food security, water management, climate monitoring and environmental protection. It is unique in the field as an integrated platform designed to empower not only traditional remote sensing scientists, but also a much wider audience that lacks the technical capacity needed to utilize high end cloud computing resources. The basic aim is to reduce the duplication of efforts by various departments for generating the same set of data, to provide analytical decision support platforms, intelligent monitoring mechanisms, gap analysis as well as overall planning and management of government processes.

Key Aspects

• Development of single window platform for data repository & discovery, visualization & analytics and cart-based data sharing on demand.
• Development of indigenous architecture enriched with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), internet of things (IoT) including computer vision (CV) for user-defined processing of geospatial big-data on the fly.
• Development of hosting environment for Governance Applications of various Government Departments.
• Outreach and capacity building programme for effective utilization of geospatial data and services in the governance process
