Big size meteorological data processing and mobile displaying system using PostgresSQL and GeoServer

Monday, April 14, 2014 | by

Gaia3D has developed meteorological data mobile web service using PostgresSQL and GeoServer for weather forecaster in Korea Meteorological Administration(KMA).This system displays weather charts, weather prediction information, weather images, observation data on mobile web for rapid decision of weather forecasters when they are out of office or in remote environment. . . .

Compositing a Global Mosaic

Sunday, April 13, 2014 | by

Planet Labs is collecting images from dozens of satellites in order to build timely global cloud free mosaics at around 5 meter resolution. I will review
the software components we use to accomplish this, as well as discussing challenges and solutions in this process. With luck I will be . . .

3D-printing with GRASS GIS – a work in progress in report

Sunday, April 13, 2014 | by

As the amount of scientific data continues to grow, researchers need new tools to help them visualize complex data. Immersive data-visualisations are helpful, yet fail to provide tactile feedback and sensory feedback on spatial orientation, as provided from tangible objects.

The production of a tangible representation of a scientific data . . .

OpenLayers 3: a unique mapping library

Sunday, April 13, 2014 | by

We’ve rewritten OpenLayers from the ground up with the goal of offering a powerful, high-performance library leveraging the latest in web technologies. This talk will present the latest advances of the library, focusing on aspects that make OpenLayers 3 stand out. OpenLayers 3, for example, uses technologies, techniques and algorithms . . .

Writing better PostGIS queries

Saturday, April 12, 2014 | by

This presentation will demonstrate ways to take most advantage of spatial indexes, SQL constructs, and PostGIS specific functions. For these exercises we’ll be using PostGIS 2.1+ and PostgreSQL 9.3+ . We’ll demonstrate common cases people often do inefficiently.

This presentation demonstrates the following
1) Various SQL constructs including ANTI join, LEFT, . . .

GeoCouch: A distributed multidimensional index

Saturday, April 12, 2014 | by

This talk is about GeoCouch, a spatial extension for Couchbase and Apache CouchDB. I will give a quick introduction into Couchbase and Apache CouchDB and why they might be the ideal databases for solving your problem.

With GeoCouch it is not only possible to query your spatial data, but also your . . .

Accurate polygon search in Lucene Spatial (with performance benefits to boot!)

Friday, April 11, 2014 | by

Lucene, and the NoSQL stores that leverage it, support storage and searching of polygonal records. However the spatial index implementation traditionally has returned false matches to spatial queries.

We have contributed a new spatial indexing strategy to Lucene Spatial that returns fully accurate results (i.e. exact matches only).

Better still, this . . .

Mobile vector map rendering with Mapbox tools

Friday, April 11, 2014 | by

Rendering maps from vector data is the next wave in custom cartography, and nowhere is this more important than on mobile devices. Modern mobile devices have high-powered GPUs for hardware-accelerated rendering and a multitude of sensors for environmental input, but also need to be keenly aware of network bandwidth constraints . . .
