Towards Big GeoData Mining and Processing

The proliferation of advanced technologies and the rapid adoption of connected devices and mobiles were behind the tremendous growth of geographic data introducing the concept of Big GeoData. The extraction of useful patterns is an interesting process, but the specific features and the complexity of relationships among spatial objects outpace the capacities of current systems. The unique way to tackle challenges raised by Big GeoData is to develop new platforms and systems. To discuss this topic, this article starts with an introduction of Big GeoData and spatial data mining tasks, followed by a reviewing of works made on Big GeoData analytics as well as their issues. Finally, authors propose their approach to develop a tool allowing the analysis of Big GeoData. This tool will encompass a wide range of algorithms and techniques to carry out most of the data mining tasks.
