abstract: 'An end-to-end toolkit for land use and land cover classification using
  big Earth observation data. Builds satellite image data cubes from cloud collections.
  Supports visualization methods for images and time series and smoothing filters
  for dealing with noisy time series. Enables merging of multi-source imagery (SAR,
  optical, DEM). Includes functions for quality assessment of training samples using
  self-organized maps and to reduce training samples imbalance. Provides machine learning
  algorithms including support vector machines, random forests, extreme gradient boosting,
  multi-layer perceptrons, temporal convolution neural networks, and temporal attention
  encoders. Performs efficient classification of big Earth observation data cubes
  and includes functions for post-classification smoothing based on Bayesian inference.
  Enables best practices for estimating area and assessing accuracy of land change.
  Includes object-based spatio-temporal segmentation for space-time OBIA. Minimum
  recommended requirements: 16 GB RAM and 4 CPU dual-core.'
