Acquiring Data

For this tutorial pretty much any remote sensing data can be used. Depending on what data it it it may require pre-processing in order to produce a usable product, and that is outside the scope of this tutorial.

A good resource for free remote sensing data us the USGS Earth explorer. It involves making an account but it is such a good resource for remote sensing data that it is completely worth the extra step.

Now that you have made an account or signed into your existing account it is time to find the data to use.
