In order to have a more concrete understanding of this term we refer to its refinement as smart data analytics in order to examine large quantities of scientific data to uncover hidden patterns, unknown correlations, or to extract information in cases where there is no exact formula (e.g. known physical laws). Our concrete big data problem is the classification of classes of land cover types in image-based datasets that have been created using remote sensing technologies, because the resolution can be high (i.e. large volumes) and there are various types such as panchromatic or different used bands like red, green, blue, and nearly infrared (i.e. large variety). We investigate various smart data analytics methods that take advantage of machine learning algorithms (i.e. support vector machines) and state-of-the-art parallelization approaches in order to overcome limitations of big data processing using non-scalable serial approaches.
