How Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand received, processed, and published high resolution satellite and aerial imagery using cloud-based processing pipelines with Argo Workflows, Kubernetes and GDAL as part of the Cyclone Gabrielle emergency response.
An exploration of the value of cloud-based imagery processing and how this has been implemented by Toitū Te Whenua Land Information New Zealand, using the emergency response to Cyclone Gabrielle as a case study. We will cover an overview of LINZ's imagery processing pipelines built with open source software such as GDAL, and the infrastructure which supports these using Argo Workflows and Kubernetes. The case study of Cyclone Gabrielle will highlight the benefits of this approach, as well as the unique challenges we faced processing satellite and aerial imagery data to contribute to the emergency response.
