Glossary
========
A collection of common terms used in :mod:`torchgeo` that may be unfamiliar to either:
1. Deep learning researchers who don't know remote sensing
2. Remote sensing researchers who don't know deep learning

.. glossary::
**area of interest (AOI)**
Synonym for :term:`region of interest (ROI)`. A particular spatial area to focus on.
**chip**
Synonym for :term:`patch`. A smaller image sampled from a larger :term:`tile`.
**classification**
A computer vision task that involves predicting the image class for an entire image or a specific bounding box.
**coordinate reference system (CRS)**
Synonym for :term:`spatial reference system (SRS)`. A system that defines how to locate geographic entities on a :term:`projected <projection>` surface.
**instance segmentation**
A computer vision task that involves predicting labels for each pixel in an image such that each object has a unique label.
**object detection**
A computer vision task that involves predicting bounding boxes around each object in an image.
**patch**
Synonym for :term:`chip`. A smaller image sampled from a larger :term:`tile`.
**projection**
A geometric transformation for portraying the surface of a 3D Earth onto a 2D planar image.
**region of interest (ROI)**
Synonym for :term:`area of interest (AOI)`. A particular spatial region to focus on.
**regression**
A computer vision task that involves predicting a real valued number based on an image.
**semantic segmentation**
A computer vision task that involves predicting labels for each pixel in an image such that each class has a unique label.
**spatial reference system (SRS)**
Synonym for :term:`coordinate reference system (CRS)`. A system that defines how to locate geographic entities on a :term:`projected <projection>` surface.
**stitching**
Combining a collection of :term:`patches <patch>` into a single image. This is the reverse operation of :term:`tiling`.
**swath**
A set of :term:`tiles <tile>` along a satellite trajectory.
**tile**
A single image file taken by a remote sensor like a satellite.
**tiling**
Splitting a :term:`tile` into :term:`patches <patch>`. This is the reverse operation of :term:`stitching`.
