New openEO API specification aims to standardize ML workflows for Earth Observation data

Researchers have proposed a new machine learning API specification for openEO, a platform designed to standardize access and processing of Earth Observation (EO) data cubes. This specification aims to bridge the gap between EO data formats and ML model inputs, enabling greater reproducibility and portability of ML workflows across different cloud infrastructures. The proposed API includes stages for model initialization, actions like training and inference, and management, supporting both classical and deep learning models. Prototypes in R and Python have demonstrated its feasibility, though further harmonization of serialization formats and execution semantics is needed for full cross-backend compatibility. AI

IMPACT Standardizes ML workflows for Earth Observation data, potentially increasing accessibility and reproducibility of AI applications in this domain.

    A Machine Learning API for Earth Observation Data Cubes Based on openEO

    arXiv:2609.13453v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Earth Observation (EO) data are increasingly organized as spatio-temporal data cubes, while machine learning (ML) methods operate on tabular feature matrices or structured tensor inputs. This mismatch forces platform-specific transf…
