Up in the Sky!

Here you will find our presentation we had for the Quantum Do.Data, the data to play with and some python scripts. A huge thanks to the team of Quantum Analytics for letting us talk about things we like.
Feel free to contact us!

Have a great day!

Credits - OpenSky Network - Licence

We exported the date from the stunning OpenSky Network. You can use the data for exploration purpose. For forther information, please consider de license! https://opensky-network.org/datasets/states/LICENSE.txt

The description of the data structure is located here: https://opensky-network.org/impala-guide. Scroll to the chapter The Columns.

Preparation for python

Download this repository

You can either download it by clone or download and download zip or use your prefered git client.

Install GeoPandas

To work with the date, we recommend to use GeoPandas, a python library made for geospatial data. It's not allways easy to install, so we don't give you an exact installation documentation.

Theoretically you can install it by pip.
pip3 install geopandas
For more information, read de install manual or google it.

Install Jupyter Notebook

All examples run in a jupyter notebook. Install it with pip
pip3 install jupyter

Now open the terminal/console (on Mac: terminal on windows cmd) and navigate to this repository. Start the terminal with:
jupyter notebook

Concat files

Because GitHub has a file size restriction, we had to split the data into numerous files. Lets create one big file: Open the file python/0 Concatenate Files.ipynb and run it. This will create the file /data_generated/20180521.csv

Create a sample

During development, we use a sampled file, to preserve our computer. Run the File python/1. sampling.ipynb. Be aware: This is not a scientific sample, it will just take every 10th data point.
