Abstract
In this chapter, the focus is re-processing satellite imageries. Satellite imagery are images of Earth or other planets collected by Imaging satellites. The quality of satellite imagery is judged by its different types of resolution. The different open source libraries and programming language for analysing big data of images was illustrated. An illustration on how to design a mini-project was carried out. The technicalities of various types of results were adequately explained.
