Delineate water bodies (lakes) from Landsat 8 using machine learning with Python and QGIS - Tutorial

The process of retrieving information from satellite imagery could be time consuming and faces challenges like image resolution, feature recognition and user criteria. With the use of machine learning tools we can preprocess images and combine them with standard QGIS tools to delineate objects in a much efficient way.
We have done a tutorial for the delimitation of water bodies as lakes from a panchromatic Landsat 8 image. The tutorial shows a mixed procedure that detects edges with Python and Scikit Image , traces paths with QGIS and the Trace Raster plugin and finally gets the lake extension as a Shapefile.
