Analysis and exploitation of Geospatial Big Data: State of art

Abstract

Over the past decade, big data with a spatial component "GEOSPATIAL BIG DATA" (GSBD) has become a focus of global interest, attracting increasing attention from universities, industry, governments and other organizations. The possibility of managing and processing GSBD to help decision-making therefore appears to be an important scientific and societal issue. This state of the art successively explores the concepts of big data, of spatial component and presents some main existing solutions for the management and processing of GSBD.
