In this chapter, we learned how to create three real-world products, which are used every day in government, science, and industry. Apart from where this analysis is typically done with black box packages—costing thousands of dollars—we were able to use very minimal and free cross-platform Python tools. And in addition to the examples in this chapter, you now have some more reusable functions, algorithms, and processing frameworks for other advanced analyses, which will allow you to solve new problems that you come across in fields such as transportation, agriculture, and weather.
In the next chapter, we'll move into a relatively new area of geospatial analysis: real-time and near real-time data.
