Sean Gillies: Running again
sur Planet OSGeo

After I gave up on The Bear 100 and Black Squirrel in August, I stopped running for 6 weeks to let my Achilles tendonitis subside. I quit using the stair stepper and elliptical machines at the gym, too. My only activities were bike commuting, yoga, weight lifting, and a weekly "HIIT the water" class. I've joked about aquasizing, but have really been getting into this class. The instructor is gung ho, the regulars are friendly, and it's a good, low impact, workout. I'm going to keep doing it this fall and winter, for sure.

On the 20th of September I went for a flat 2 mile run at Pineridge Open Space. It felt great to run outdoors on dirt, and I didn't feel any worse afterwards. I did another easy, flat trail run 4 days later. This week I did two 3.5 mile runs on trails and another session on an elliptical trainer. 2 hours in all. I'm going to try to increase to 3 hours a week by the end of the year.

I'm grateful to be able to run again. With some luck, 2025 could be a good year.

Sean Gillies: Rasterio 1.4.0

sur Planet OSGeo

A month ago I wrote a long-ish post about Fiona 1.10.0. I'll try to keep this one shorter. Rasterio 1.4.0 has three main changes: Python openers, detailed error chaining, and a new statistics API.

Python openers can connect filesystems implemented in Python, like fsspec or tiledb.vfs, to GDAL's own virtual filesystem machinery. In most cases, you should reply on GDAL's built-in virtual filesystem handlers. On the other hand, if you have unique or proprietary data access protocols, then Rasterio's new openers may be useful.

Often enough, I want more visibility into the errors that occur during GDAL I/O functions. I'd like to see all the errors, not just the last one. So, I've implemented Python-like chaining of GDAL errors. It's not perfectly analogous, because we don't have frames for GDAL code like we do for Python, but look at the kind of details you can get now:

>>> src.read()
rasterio._err.CPLE_AppDefinedError: TIFFFillTile:Read error at row 512, col 0, tile 3; got 38232 bytes, expected 47086

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

rasterio._err.CPLE_AppDefinedError: TIFFReadEncodedTile() failed.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "rasterio/_io.pyx", line 968, in rasterio._io.DatasetReaderBase._read
    io_multi_band(self._hds, 0, xoff, yoff, width, height, out, indexes_arr, resampling=resampling)

rasterio._err.CPLE_AppDefinedError: /app/tests/data/corrupt.tif, band 1: IReadBlock failed at X offset 1, Y offset 1: TIFFReadEncodedTile() failed.

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "rasterio/_io.pyx", line 650, in rasterio._io.DatasetReaderBase.read
    out = self._read(indexes, out, window, dtype, resampling=resampling)
  File "rasterio/_io.pyx", line 971, in rasterio._io.DatasetReaderBase._read
    raise RasterioIOError("Read or write failed. See context for details.") from cplerr
rasterio.errors.RasterioIOError: Read or write failed. See context for details.

Lastly, the flawed, multimodal statistics() method of datasets has been deprecated and is replaced by new, simpler stats(), clear_stats(), and update_stats() methods.

Rasterio 1.4.0 remains limited to "classical" rasters, those with a handful of bands or channels all of the same type. For hyperspectral data cubes and the like, you should use h5py, xarray, or other emerging software. I'm quite interested in working on new software in that area, but I'd like to do so without any classical raster legacy.

Oslandia: New release for QField : 3.4 “Ebo”
sur Planet OSGeo
Oslandia is the main partner of OPENGIS.ch around QField. We are proud today to forward the announcement of the new QField release 3.4 “Ebo”.
Main highlights
A new geofencing framework has landed, enabling users to configure QField behaviors in relation to geofenced areas and user positioning. Geofenced areas are defined at the project-level and shaped by polygons from a chosen vector layer. The three available geofencing behaviours in this new release are:
- Alert user when inside an area polygon;
- Alert user when outside all defined area polygons and
- Inform the user when entering and leaving an area polygons.
In addition to being alerted or informed, users can also prevent digitizing of features when being alerted by the first or second behaviour. The configuration of this functionality is done in QGIS using QFieldSync.

Pro tip: geofencing settings are embedded within projects, which means it is easy to deploy these constraints to a team of field workers through QFieldCloud. Thanks Terrex Seismic for sponsoring this functionality.

QField now offers users access to a brand new processing toolbox containing over a dozen algorithms for manipulating digitized geometries directly in the field. As with many parts of QField, this feature relies on QGIS’ core library, namely its processing framework and the numerous, well-maintained algorithms it comes with.

The algorithms exposed in QField unlock many useful functionalities for refining geometries, including orthogonalization, smoothing, buffering, rotation, affine transformation, etc. As users configure algorithms’ parameters, a grey preview of the output will be visible as an overlay on top of the map canvas.

To reach the processing toolbox in QField, select one or more features by long-pressing on them in the features list, open the 3-dot menu and click on the process selected feature(s) action. Are you excited about this one? Send your thanks to the National Land Survey of Finland, who’s support made this a reality.

QField’s camera has gained support for customized ratio and resolution of photos, as well as the ability to stamp details – date and time as well as location details – onto captured photos. In fact, QField’s own camera has received so much attention in the last few releases that it was decided to make it the default one. On supported platforms, users can switch to their OS camera by disabling the native camera option found at the bottom of the QField settings’ general tab.
Wait, there’s more
There are plenty more improvements packed into this release from project variables editing using a revamped variables editor through to integration of QField documentation help in the search bar and the ability to search cloud project lists. Read the full 3.4 changelog to know more, and enjoy the release!

QGIS Blog: Plugin Update – September, 2024

sur Planet OSGeo

In September a total of 20 new plugins were published in the QGIS plugin repository.

Highlight

In the last month some AI-related plugins became available for users, namely IntelliGeo and TreeEyed, which in addition to the increasing number of tools, greatly contribute for the adaptation of QGIS to current and future needs, showcasing it as one of the best options for beginners and experts alike to conduct a number of geospatial analyses.

As stated by their authors, with IntelliGeo there’s a chat interface where users can detail their requests, and the output is either a PyQGIS code or a graphical processing model, which can in turn be executed directly in QGIS.

As for the TreeEyed plugin, its main objective is the monitoring of trees by generating vector and raster datasets from high resolution RGB imagery.

Overview

Here follows the quick overview in reverse chronological order. If any of the names or short descriptions catches your attention, you can find the direct link to the plugin page in the table below:

Free and Open Source GIS Ramblings: LLM-based spatial analysis assistants for QGIS
sur Planet OSGeo

After the initial ChatGPT hype in 2023 (when we saw the first LLM-backed QGIS plugins, e.g. QChatGPT and QGPT Agent), there has been a notable slump in new development. As far as I can tell, none of the early plugins are actively maintained anymore. They were nice tech demos but with limited utility.

However, in the last month, I saw two new approaches for combining LLMs with QGIS that I want to share in this post:
IntelliGeo plugin: generating PyQGIS scripts or graphical models
At the QGIS User Conference in Bratislava, I had the pleasure to attend the “Large Language Models and GIS” workshop presented by Gustavo Garcia and Zehao Lu from the the University of Twente. There, they presented the IntelliGeo Plugin which enables the automatic generation of PyQGIS scripts and graphical models.

The workshop was packed. After we installed all dependencies and the plugin, it was exciting to test the graphical model generation capabilities. During the workshop, we used OpenAI’s API but the readme also mentions support for Cohere.

I was surprised to learn that even simple graphical models are actually pretty large files. This makes it very challenging to generate and/or modify models because they take up a big part of the LLM’s context window. Therefore, I expect that the PyQGIS script generation will be easier to achieve. But, of course, model generation would be even more impressive and useful since models are easier to edit for most users than code.
Image source: https://github.com/MahdiFarnaghi/intelli_geo ChatGeoAI: chat with PyQGIS
ChatGeoAI is an approach presented in Mansourian, A.; Oucheikh, R. (2024). ChatGeoAI: Enabling Geospatial Analysis for Public through Natural Language, with Large Language Models. ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf., 13, 348.

It uses a fine-tuned Llama 2 model in combination with spaCy for entity recognition and WorldKG ontology to write PyQGIS code that can perform a variety of different geospatial analysis tasks on OpenStreetMap data.

The paper is very interesting, describing the LLM fine-tuning, integration with QGIS, and evaluation of the generated code using different metrics. However, as far as I can tell, the tool is not publicly available and, therefore, cannot be tested.

Have you heard of an alidade? I hadn’t until Walter Schwartz sent me these pics.

He said “Behold the ingenious alidade, a surveying instrument here used as a fire finder. This one is displayed at the Cole Land Transportation Museum in Bangor, Maine. Forest rangers used these atop fire towers to report the distance and, in conjunction with another tower, the coordinates of fires. The map on this table covers an approximately 25 mile diameter (40 KM) inclusive of Augusta to Rockport Maine. The user viewed through a rectangular slot on one upright and rotated the metal structure to view the fire. Some tables were on slides so that the view would not be obstructed by parts of the tower structure. GPS and cameras solve the same problem today. “

Well who knew that? I found this great explanation of the alidade.

Paul Ramsey: Cancer 12
sur Planet OSGeo

Back to entry 1

I was glancing at the New York Times and saw that Catherine, the Princess of Wales, had released an update on her treatment. And I thought, “wow, I hope she’s doing well”. And then I thought, “wow, I bet she gets a lot of positive affirmation and support from all kinds of people”.

I mean, she’s a princess.

Even us non-princesses, we need support too, and I have to say that I have been blown away by how kind the people around me in my life have been. And also how kind the other folks who I have never really talked with before have been.

I try to thank my wife as often as I can. It is hard not to feel like a burden when I am, objectively, a burden, no matter how much she avers I am not. I am still not fully well (for reasons), and I really want to be the person she married, a helpful full partner. It is frustrating to still be taking more than I’m giving.

From writing about my experience here, I have heard from other cancer survivors, and other folks who have travelled the particular path of colorectal cancer treatment. Some of them I knew from meetings and events, some from their own footprint on the internet, some of them were new to me. But they were all kind and supportive and it really helped, in the dark and down times.

From my work on the University of Victoria Board of Governors, I have come to know a lot of people in the community there, and they were so kind to me when I shared my diagnosis. My fellow board members stepped in and took on the tasks I have not been able to do the past few months, and the members of the executive and their teams were so generous in sending their well-wishes.

And finally, my employers at Crunchy Data were the best. Like above and beyond. When I told them the news they just said “take as much time as you need and get better”. And they held to that. My family doctor asked “do you need me to write you a letter for your employer” and I said “no, they’re good”, and he said, “wow! don’t see that very often”. You don’t. I’m so glad Crunchy Data is still small enough that it can be run ethically by ethical people. Not having to worry about employment on top of all the other worries that a cancer diagnosis brings, that was a huge gift, and not one I will soon forget.

I think people (and Canadians to a fault, but probably people in general) worry about imposing, that communicating their good thoughts and prayers could be just another thing for the cancer patient to deal with, and my personal experience was: no, it wasn’t. Saying “thanks, I appreciate it” takes almost no energy, and the boost of hearing from someone is real. I think as long as the patient doesn’t sweat it, as long as they recognize that “ackknowledged! thanks!” is a sufficient response, it’s all great.

Fortunately, I am not a princess, so the volume was not insuperable. Anyways, thank you to everyone who reached out over the past 6 months, and also to all those who just read and nodded, and maybe shared with a friend, maybe got someone to take a trip to the gastroenterologist for a colonoscopy.

Talk to you all again soon, inshala.

Even Rouault: Those concepts in the geospatial field that have cost us millions of $$$
sur Planet OSGeo

Every domain has its baggage of concepts, which at first sight don't appear to be that terrible, but which are in practice.
Let's start with a non-geospatial example. A lot of programming languages have the concept of a "null" pointer. It is available in the C and C++ programming languages in particular, but in Java as well, or Python, etc.. Tony Hoare, null's creator, regrets its invention: "I call it my billion-dollar mistake." While very useful in some contexts, that feature also happens to cause a lot of bugs, with severe criticity in some cases. The Rust language has for example (almost) removed the null pointer concept and replace it with optional references, where the compiler enforces that the code explictly checks for the validity of the reference before using it. At the minute, I'm writing this, I'm debating about that very issue with a colleague.
The geospatial field is not free of concepts that are a never-ending source of troubles, and I will come with my own list, with my perspective of software developer.
- Geometry model. Point, lines, polygons. What could be most simple than that? Well, the commonly-used OGC Simple Features model allows those objects to be empty. How is that useful in practice? Hard to tell: NULL geometries are (somewhat paradoxically given the above paragraphy) actually a better replacement. My own perception of that "feature" is that it is mostly a huge headache that goes into your way when trying to write robust code. One evidence of that is that the same standard that invented it neglected to specify how to export an empty point in the Well Known Binary representation. Over the years, the tradition has become to use the Not-A-Number value for the X and Y value of an empty point. Which by itself may cause interesting consequences for applications that would neglect to make a special case. A Not-A-Number is ... well ... not a number, and for example it is not equal to itself ... (and in the IEEE-754 representation, there are litteraly billions of different binary potential encodings of a NotANumber). Everything you learnt at school in your math courses will break with it (this is actually quite general when crunching numbers with computers. Finite precision break a lot of the expected properties of ideal numbers). An empty line has the undesirable property of not having a start or end point: any algorithm must be ready for that. Another annoyance is that there is not just one "geometry empty" object, but a "point empty", a "line empty", a "polygon empty", etc. What is the expected intersection of an empty line with an empty polygon ? An empty line, an empty polygon, an empty point, ... ? The developers of the GEOS library or the PostGIS spatial extension have unfortunately to regularly debate at length about those topics. One can but think there would be a better use of their expertise and time than having to deal with such esoteric subjects (I didn't ask them, so they may actually be thrilled by them. You never know...)
- Coordinate reference system (CRS) axis order. CRS, such as WGS 84 geographic, or UTM 31N / ETRS89 have several axis. For geographic CRS, this will be the longitude, the latitude, and optionally the ellipsoidal height. When expressing coordinates in a CRS, one must decide in which order they are specified. They are lengthy debates whether this should be longitude first, latitude second, or the reverse. The ISO 19111 / OGC Abstract Topic 2 specification or geodetic registries have decided to not take a firm stance on that, and have allowed authorities responsible for CRS definition and maintenance, to submit CRS definitions with the axis order they wish. Excellent! Well no. The issue is that while non-geomaticians user may chose to express a coordinate in prose like "50 degree of latitude north, 15 degree of longitude east", or "15 degree of longitude east, 50 degree of latitude north", that doesn't mean it is a good idea that the software systems reflect that liberty of speech. Some GIS formats have no way of clearly expressing the CRS, or if they have, they might use an incomplete way of specifying it, in particular lacking the way to express the axis order. The usual practice is to generally specify the longitude as the first value (as corresponding to the X/horizontal axis of a Cartesian plan) and latitude next (Y/vertical axis), refleting the natural mapping to make a graphical representation. Other formats (GML in particular) require that the coordinates are expressed in the order of the CRS definition, which require access to a database to get the axis order, given that in GML vector files, the CRS is only referenced through a code, and not defined inline. Depending on whether the persons responsible to design the protocol/file format, the order may be the "GIS friendly one" (longitude-latitude), or the "CRS pedantic one" (latitude-longitude for example for geographic CRS defined by the EPSG geodetic registry). This is an eternal source of confusion. Sometimes with absurd situations. The OGC GeoPackage file format captures a full definition of the CRS used in the vector tables it contains, including in particular the official axis order, but to reflect the long-GIS tradition, as an amendment, specify that the encoding of coordinates in its (extension of) the WKB format mentionned in the previous paragraph should be longitude-latitude (for geographic CRS) or easting-northing (for projected CRS). I will not blame anyone particular for this. This is an "overall system error". In the ideal situation, a courageous geomatician in a standard organization or in a geodetic registry should have said "here, we are geomaticians: geographic CRS are always longitude-latitude, and projected CRS are always easting-northing. It is your responsibility as users of our system to provide data always in that order". Failing to have access to a time-travel machine to warn in advance my glorious predecessors about the incoming catastrophe, the only solution I see to solve the issue it is to ask all population to relocate on the line of longitude=latitude, and exclude any mapping outside of it.
- Raster cell registration issues, a.k.a pixel-centre versus pixel-corner, or pixel-is-point versus pixel-is-area, a.k.a the half-pixel shift error. A raster cell is both an entity you reference with a (column, line) integer pair, so perceived as a discrete point, but when displayed, it actually occupies a non-zero area on your display device. When that raster cell is registered against geospatial coordinates, one debate is: "what exact place in that cell does this (longitude, latitude) or (easting, northing) refer to? Is that the center of the pixel, or maybe its top-left corner?" . Obviously, whenever there is a choice, file format and service specifications never agree together. The GDAL software has courgeously decided to "standardize" its internal model to the convention where that the georeferenced coordinate associated to a pixel qualifies the location of the top-left corner. GDAL format drivers do the necessary dance of applying and de-applying a half-pixel shift to go into that convention ... when they have access to the convention of the underlying format.
A temptative conclusion could be that any proposed standard or specification should go to the step of having an actual real-world implementation of it, not just a "working prototype" ("toy implementation" more casually), to check whether some apparently minor details are not a major source of inconvenience.

Fernando Quadro: Como ganhar dinheiro com o código aberto?
sur Planet OSGeo

De tempos em tempos as pessoas costumam me fazer essa pergunta. A resposta curta é que ser código aberto não significa que tudo é de graça – você geralmente precisa de especialistas na área para ajudá-lo.

Por exemplo, GeoServer, QGIS e PostGIS você pode baixá-los, instalá-los e usá-los de graça. Claro. Mas sua empresa provavelmente ainda precisará pagar por:

Qualquer nova funcionalidade que você queira implementar no software principal, especialmente se for bem específica ou de nicho para apenas uma pequena parte da base de usuários
Consertar um bug crítico no código que afeta seu fluxo de trabalho de forma rápida (especialmente se afetar apenas uma parte muito pequena da base de usuários)
Criar uma extensão/módulo/plugin que simplificaria algumas das tarefas específicas para sua organização
Obter SLA (Acordo de Nível de Serviço), para que suas dúvidas/problemas com o software possam ser discutidos/resolvidos com prioridade e não bloqueiem seu trabalho
Treinar sua equipe com os principais especialistas da área
Migrar de soluções proprietárias para o ecossistema de código aberto, já que é preciso muito conhecimento para unir todos os componentes de código aberto para que funcionem bem

O bom do código aberto é que se empresas ou usuários apoiam financeiramente o projeto, todas as novas funcionalidades, correções e melhorias (como documentação) chegam a todos.

Então, se sua empresa quer ajudar um projeto de código aberto a crescer, uma ótima ideia é patrociná-lo. E se você estiver procurando por um desenvolvimento personalizado de WebGIS, treinamento, migração ou suporte em torno disso, você pode entrar em contato com a Geocursos. É isso que fazemos desde 2012

Paul Ramsey: Cancer 11
sur Planet OSGeo
Back to entry 1

What happened there, I didn’t write for three months! Two words: “complications”, and “recovery”.

In a terrifying medical specialty like cancer treatment, one of the painful ironies is that patients spend a lot of time recovering from complications and side effects of the treatments, rather than the cancer. In my case and many others, the existence of the cancer isn’t even noticable without fancy diagnostic machines. The treatments on the other hand… those are very noticable!

A lot of this comes with the territory of major surgery and dangerous chemicals. My surgery included specific possible complications including, but not limited to: incontinence, sexual disfunction, urinary disfunction, and sepsis.

Fortunately, I avoided all the complications specific to my surgery. What I did not avoid was a surprisingly common complication of spending some time in a hospital while taking broad spectrum antibiotics–I contracted the “superbug” clostridioides difficile, aka c.diff.

Let me tell you, finding you have a “superbug” is a real bummer, and c.diff lives up to its reputation. Like cancer, it is hard to kill, it does quite a bit of damage while it’s in you, and the things that kill it also do a lot of damage to your body.

Killing my c.diff required a couple of courses of specialized antibiotics (vancomycin), that in addition to killing the c.diff also killed all the other beneficial bacteria in my lower intestine.

So, two months after surgery, I was recovering from:
- having my lower intestine handled and sliced in a major surgery
- having that same intestine populated with c.diff and covered in c.diff toxins
- having the microbiotic population living in my intestine nuked with a modern antibiotic developed to kill resistant superbugs
Not surprisingly, having all those things at once makes for a much longer recovery, and a pretty up-and-down one. My slowly recovering microbiota is in constant flux, which results in some really surprising symptoms.
- highly variable stomach discomfort (ok)
- highly variable appetite (makes sense)
- random days of fatigue (really?)
- random days of anxiety (what?!?)
I had not really understood the implications of gut/brain connection, until this journey showed me just how tightly bound my mental state was to the current condition of my guts. The anxiety I have experienced as a result of my c.diff exposure has been worse, amazingly, than what I felt after my initial cancer diagnosis. One was in my head, but the other was in my gut.

I have also developed a much more acute sympathy for people suffering from long Covid and other chronic diseases. The actual symptoms are bad enough, but the psychological effect of the symptom variability is really hard to deal with. Bad days follow good days, with no warning. I have mostly stopped voicing any optimism about my condition, because who knows what tomorrow will bring.

When people ask me how I’m doing, I shrug.

One thing I have got going for me, that chronic disease sufferers do not, is a sense that I am in fact improving. I started journaling my symptoms early in the recovery process, and I can look back and see definitively that while things are unpredictable day to day, or even week to week, the long term trajectory is one of improvement.

Without that, I think I’d go loopy.

Anyways, I am now rougly three months out from my last course of antibiotics, and I expect it will be at least another three months before I’m firing on all cylinders again, thanks mostly to the surgical complication of acquiring c.diff. If I was just recovering from the surgery, I imagine I would be much closer to full recovery.

Spatial Operators in GeoServer Filters
In this session, we want to talk about the Spatial operators in GeoServer in detail. If you want to access the complete tutorial, click on the link.

Introduction
GeoServer supports various spatial operators that filter geospatial data based on their location or spatial relationships with other features. These operators are commonly used with other filter expressions to create complex queries. These queries are useful for extracting specific subsets of data from a larger dataset.

The spatial operators are Topological, Distance, and Bounding Box operators. We’ll explain them in more detail below.

Note. This video was recorded on GeoServer 2.22.4, which is not the most up-to-date version. Currently, versions 2.24.x and 2.25.x are supported. To ensure you have the latest release, please visit this link and avoid using older versions of GeoServer.
Topological operators
In GeoServer, topological operators are used for spatial analysis and processing of geographic data. These operators perform geometric operations that preserve the spatial relationship or topology between geometric features. Some common topological operators in GeoServer include: Intersects, Within, Contains, etc.
Intersects
The Intersects filter in GeoServer is used to query spatial data based on the intersection of two geometry objects. For example, you can use this operator to extract all features that intersect with a specified Point, Line, or Polygon.

Here are some examples of how you can use this filter in an XML request to filter the States layer by the State_Name attribute:
- Navigate to the Demos page, then select Demo requests.
- From the Request section, select the WFS_getFeatureIntersects1.0.xml request.
- The address will be filled in automatically, in the URL section.
- Now, we will explain some elements:
  - The first thirteen lines include explanations in the form of comments.
  - Line 14 describes the XML version and the getFeatureIntersects operation of the WFS service being used.
  - Line 15 specifies the default output format for the WFS service as GML2. Additionally, GeoServer supports several other commonly used formats such as “gml3, shapefile, geojson, and csv.”
  - Lines 16 to 22 define the start of the XML request and declare the namespaces used in the request.
  - Line 23 specifies the type name of the feature to be queried. In this case, it requests features of the topp:states.
  - Lines 25 to 30 define the filter criteria for the query. On these lines, we use the Intersects filter, to retrieve all states that intersects with a Point defined by latitude and longitude.
- Press the Submit button.
Note. For GeoServer 2.25.2 the Demo Request page has been improved to show response Headers, and provide the option to pretty print XML output.
Within
This operator is used to retrieve features that are completely within the specified geometry. For example, you can use this operator to extract all features that are within a polygon.

Here’s an example of how you can define a Within filter in XML. As an example of using this filter in a WFS getFeature request, use the following block codes to replace lines 24 to 31:
```
<Filter>
  <Within>
    <PropertyName>the_geom</PropertyName>
    <gml:Polygon xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml" srsName="EPSG:4326">
	  <gml:outerBoundaryIs>
	    <gml:LinearRing>
		  <gml:coordinates>-90.73,29.85 -90.73,35.92 -80.76,35.92 -80.76,29.85 -90.73,29.85</gml:coordinates>
		</gml:LinearRing>
	  </gml:outerBoundaryIs>
    </gml:Polygon>
  </Within>
</Filter>
```
Press the Submit button. As you can see, the result includes two states named Alabama and Georgia.
Contains
This operator is used to filter data that is completely contained within a given geometry. For example, you can use this operator to extract all features that are completely contained within a polygon that represents a state boundary.

Here’s an example of how you can define a Contains operator in XML:
```
<Filter>
  <Contains>
    <PropertyName>the_geom</PropertyName>
    <gml:LineString srsName="EPSG:4326">
       <gml:coordinates>-89.35,31.46 -89.35,32.11 -89.49,32.23 -90.21,32.23</gml:coordinates>
    </gml:LineString>
  </Contains>
</Filter>
```
Press the Submit button. As you can see, the state that contains the given geometry is Mississippi.

You will need to adjust the filter and shape to match your data and SRS. Assuming you have a data source with a geometry column named the_geom that uses the EPSG:4326 coordinate system.
Distance operators
In GeoServer, Distance operators like “DWithin” and “Beyond” filters, are used to filter and retrieve features based on their spatial relationship and proximity to a given geometry or location. These operators can be used in WFS requests and are useful for performing spatial analysis and finding nearby features.
DWithin
The ‘DWithin’ or ‘Distance Within’ filter, will return records that are located within a specific distance of a defined point, much like a buffer. As well as the point geometry, you must specify the value of the distance from this point and the unit of measure. The units for the DWithin are: Feet, meters, kilometers and miles.

Here’s an example of how to use the DWithin filter in a GeoServer XML configuration file. To find all the features that are within 10000 meters of a given point in a layer called “sf:archsites”, the following WFS request can be used.
```
<wfs:GetFeature service="WFS" version="1.0.0"
            outputFormat="application/json" xmlns:wfs="http://www.opengis.net/wfs"
            xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc"
            xmlns:gml="http://www.opengis.net/gml"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/wfs [schemas.opengis.net]   <wfs:Query typeName="sf:archsites">
    <ogc:Filter>
	  <ogc:DWithin>
		<ogc:PropertyName>the_geom</ogc:PropertyName>
		  <gml:Point srsName="http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml#26713">
			<gml:coordinates>593250,4923867</gml:coordinates>
		  </gml:Point>
		<ogc:Distance units="meter">10000</ogc:Distance>
	  </ogc:DWithin>
	</ogc:Filter>
  </wfs:Query>
</wfs:GetFeature>
```
This will return all the features in “sf:archsites” layer, that are within 10000 meters of the given point. Remember that, the EPSG code mentioned in line 11 is very important because it serves as a reference point for importing coordinates and distance values.

Press the Submit button.
Bounding Box operators
The Bounding Box operator is used to filter data based on a specified bounding box. A bounding box is a rectangular region defined by its lower left and upper right coordinates: minx, miny, maxx, and maxy. For example, you can use this operator to extract all features that are located or partially located inside a box of coordinates.

As an example of using this operator, select the WFS_getFeatureBBOX1.0.xml from the Request section. Now the filters block code is as follows:
```
<Filter>
  <BBOX>
    <PropertyName>the_geom</PropertyName>
    <gml:Box srsName="http://www.opengis.net/gml/srs/epsg.xml#4326">
       <gml:coordinates>-75.102613,40.212597 -72.361859,41.512517</gml:coordinates>
    </gml:Box>
  </BBOX>
</Filter>
```
In this case, we just get the STATE_NAME and PERSONS attribute. Using the range specified in the code specifies the features that are completely or partially located in this area. The result includes four states named New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and New Jersey as you see on the screen.

Free and Open Source GIS Ramblings: Trajectools tutorial: trajectory preprocessing
sur Planet OSGeo

Today marks the release of Trajectools 2.3 which brings a new set of algorithms, including trajectory generalizing, cleaning, and smoothing.

To give you a quick impression of what some of these algorithms would be useful for, this post introduces a trajectory preprocessing workflow that is quite general-purpose and can be adapted to many different datasets.

We start out with the Geolife sample dataset which you can find in the Trajectools plugin directory’s sample_data subdirectory. This small dataset includes 5908 points forming 5 trajectories, based on the trajectory_id field:

We first split our trajectories by observation gaps to ensure that there are no large gaps in our trajectories. Let’s make at cut at 15 minutes:

This splits the original 5 trajectories into 11 trajectories:

When we zoom, for example, to the two trajectories in the north western corner, we can see that the trajectories are pretty noisy and there’s even a spike / outlier at the western end:

If we label the points with the corresponding speeds, we can see how unrealistic they are: over 300 km/h!

Let’s remove outliers over 50 km/h:

Better but not perfect:

Let’s smooth the trajectories to get rid of more of the jittering.

(You’ll need to pip/mamba install the optional stonesoup library to get access to this algorithm.)

Depending on the noise values we chose, we get more or less smoothing:

Let’s zoom out to see the whole trajectory again:

Feel free to pan around and check how our preprocessing affected the other trajectories, for example:

Nick Bearman: New Website - Quarto
sur Planet OSGeo
I’ve been thinking for a bit of time that I need to redo my website as some of the pages had evolved a bit, and were getting a bit too long. What you see now is what I have come up with:

I also took the opportunity to ‘rebrand’ myself. Previously I’d used the name Geospatial Training Solutions to market my freelance work. I was never completely happy with the name - it was a bit long and a bit generic - and after some thought I decided I would be better trading under my own name - Nick Bearman - as that is a name already known in the GIS community and it is me that I am selling. I am freelance and have no current plans to expand or to hire other people - I am just me!

Anyway, once I’d made that decision, the question was how to make my new website. I’ve been using WordPress which worked reasonably well, but it has a relatively complex infrastructure under the hood (database, etc.) which:
1. opens it up to more vulnerabilities and
2. upgrading WordPress was always something that needed to be done every so often, and then I had to make sure everything worked as I wanted.
I looked around and found various examples that were similar to what I wanted to achieve:
- Kate Berg / Pokateo [https:]] Wix
- James Cheshire [https:]] WordPress
- Mike Spencer [https:]] Start Bootstrap - Agency (using Respond.js)
- Alessia Calafiore [https:]] Hydejack theme on Jekyll
- Caitlin Robinson [https:]] Wix
- Andy Kirk [https:]] WordPress
- Robin Wilson [https:]] Jekyll
I mostly used these to think about content, but it was also helpful to consider the different technologies as well. More people were using WordPress that I thought, and often they were not ‘obviously’ WordPress sites. I wanted something simple, and certainly something I could update easily. Easy of updating was a common theme! To quote Pokateo / Kate:

From [https:]]
At this point, Quarto had been released and they had some interesting possibilities for websites. I’d dabbled a bit with Quarto for PDF documents and websites (including A geographer’s introduction to QGIS & R) after using RMarkdown for several years. Quarto looked ideal, so I started experimenting with it. It is plain text, and can work with GitHub, which I am using fairly regularly.

Quarto also has a very good website, with lots of examples including creating a website [https:]] and you can also choose from a variety of different themes [https:]] .

After various rounds of development, I came up with this site, [https:] It is (I hope) a simple site which has what I need on it. It also supports blogs, which I do contribute to semi-regularly. It is also all static pages, so once it is updated it can just sit there and doesn’t need any database provision or anything else to run. The new site also incorporated a search, which is handy.

You can host it through GitHub Pages, and there are various options to automatically compile it using continuous integration, but I decided to keep things simple, to compile the site locally and the push to GitHub. Sometimes the potential to automate things isn’t worth the time to set it up!

from [https:]] CC license
Transferring my blog posts from WordPress (geospatialtrainingsolutions.co.uk and nickbearman.me.uk) was a bit of a faff but it is getting there. It is a work in progress. I have found a semi-automated">[https%3A%2F%2Fgithub,folder%20in%20your%20quarto%20blog">semi-automated] way of doing this, but it will still take some time. I’m also trying to extract a static copy of the WordPress sites for archiving, with the Simpy Static WordPress plugin looking useful.

I also used to have a contact form, which I received some useful contacts through so I wanted to include this. Quarto as such doesn’t include such a form, as there is no interaction, but I had a brainwave and decided to use a Google Forms instead. We’ve used these a lot at OSGeo:UK and they work really well.

I hope you found this useful - do let me know what you think!

pycsw Team: Using keywords from a thesaurus as queryables
sur Planet OSGeo
Using keywords from a thesaurus as queryables
A common convention in catalogues is the use of keywords from a dedicated thesaurus. The assignment of these keywords can then later be used to filter or query the catalogue by these terms. To achieve this use case in pycsw, some configuration needs to be tailored. This blog post indicates the changes needed for this scenario.

For this example we’ll use a keyword from the INSPIRE Themes thesaurus. We will define a new queryable inspiretheme, which will be populated with the relevant keyword (if present).

You can repeat these steps for any other thesaurus.
Extra database column
Extend the records table in the database with an extra field for the selected thesaurus. This is usually a manual operation on the database.
```
ALTER TABLE records
ADD inspiretheme VARCHAR(255);
```
Add parameter to pycsw
In pycsw/core/config.py the newly created database column can be registered to pycsw.
```
'pycsw:InspireTheme': 'inspiretheme',
```
Add column to mapping
etc/mappings.py links the pycsw parameter to the columnname in the table.
```
'pycsw:InspireTheme': 'inspiretheme',
```
Define parameter as queryable
Which of the parameters are queryable is defined in pycsw/core/repository.py.
```
'inspiretheme': self.dataset.inspiretheme,
```
Add parameter to record results?
Keywords are already published in records, so there is generally no need to extend the record with the new parameter. If needed you can do so in pycsw/ogc/api/records.py (Line 1150).
Populate the parameter from record imports
We have 2 options here, either manage the population of the column within the database as part of an insert trigger on the record.themes field. Alternatively update pycsw/core/metadata.py so the column is populated when records are imported.

For the second option consider the following code. For each of the keyword blocks, it tries to match the thesaurus title or uri and, if matched, adds the keywords to the new parameter.
```
_set(context, recobj, 'pycsw:InspireTheme', ", ".join(
    [", ".join(k.name for k in t.keywords if k.name not in [None,'']) for t in md_identification.keywords if ( hasattr(t,'thesaurus') and 
        t.thesaurus not in [None,''] and ((
            'title' in t.thesaurus and t.thesaurus['title'] not in [None,''] and
            t.thesaurus['title'] in ['GEMET - INSPIRE themes, version 1.0','GEMET Themes, version 2.3']
        ) or (
            'uri' in t.thesaurus and t.thesaurus['uri'] not in [None,''] and
            t.thesaurus['uri'] == 'http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/theme')))]))
```
Add parameter to OGC API - Records facets
Facets enable to further limit search results. Keywords from thesauri are very useful to add as facet. Add the paremeter to default.yml.
```
facets:
    - type
    - inspiretheme
```

GeoServer Team: GeoServer 2.26.0 Release
sur Planet OSGeo
GeoServer 2.26.0 release is now available with downloads (bin, war, windows), along with docs and extensions.

This is a stable release of GeoServer recommended for production use. GeoServer 2.26.0 is made in conjunction with GeoTools 32.0, GeoWebCache 1.26.0, ImageIO-EXT 1.4.13, and JAI-EXT 1.1.27.

Thanks to Peter Smythe (AfriGIS) and Jody Garnett (GeoCat) for making this release and everyone who has helped out during this release cycle. Special thanks Andrea for helping with release announcement, and Torben for troubleshooting the build server and docker environment for this release.

Nightly build testing
This release cycle we asked our new user forum to test a nightly build, as we did not have capacity to make a release candidate.

Thanks to Daniel Calliess for responding during our public testing cycle. Daniel noted that he had to add /geoserver/webresources to his proxy for the OpenLayers preview to function. This change is due to an ongoing effort to move all CSS and JS to external resources allowing Content Security Policy headers to be introduced.
Security Considerations
This release addresses security vulnerabilities and is a recommended upgrade for production systems.
- CVE-2024-34711 Improper ENTITY_RESOLUTION_ALLOWLIST URI validation in XML Processing (SSRF) (High 7.3)
- CVE-2024-35230: Welcome and About GeoServer pages communicate version and revision information (Moderate 5.3)
See project security policy for more information on how security vulnerabilities are managed.
- GEOS-11400 About Page Layout and display of build information
Java 17 Support
The binary distribution and the Windows installer now work with Java 17.

When using the war distribution with Tomcat and Java 17 double check the Server status page. If the Java Rendering Engine is listed as “Unknown”, double check the Running in Java 17 production considerations.

Thanks to Andrea Aime and everyone who worked on testing this in different environments.
- GEOS-11467 Update Marlin, make the bin package compatible with Java 17
Docker Updates
The base image tomcat:9.0.95-jdk17-temurin-jammy is now used - providing the latest Tomcat 9 and Java 17. The docker crew changed from using ubuntu:22.04 with our own Tomcat install script earlier in the year.

To try out GeoServer 2.26.0 with docker:
```
docker pull docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.26.0 
docker run -it -p8080:8080 docker.osgeo.org/geoserver:2.26.0 
```
Thanks to Nils Bühner (terrestris) and everyone who has contributed to the Docker build.
Search improvement
A small but fun change for the layer preview - it is now easier to find just the layer you are looking for using quotes to isolate an individual word.

Thanks to Alessandro Ricchiuti for this work.
- GEOS-11351 Exact term search in the pages’ filters
Extensive MapML Improvements
Thanks to Natural Resources Canada for sponsoring an extensive set improvements for the MapML extension.

Demo Requests page rewritten
The Demo Request page has been rewritten to use JavaScript to issue POST examples. This provides a much better user experience:
- Show Result lists the response headers to be viewed along side the returned result (with an option for XML pretty printing).
- Show Result in a New Page is available to allow your browser to display the result.
The WCS Request Builder and WPS Request Builder demos now have the option to show their results in Demo Requests page. Combined these changes replace the previous practice of using an iframe popup, and have allowed the TestWfsPost servlet to be removed.

For more information please see the Demo requests in the User Guide.

Thanks to David Blasby (GeoCat) for these improvements, made on behalf of the GeoCat Live project.
- GEOS-11390 Replace TestWfsPost with Javascript Demo Page
JTS 1.20.0 Update
We are overjoyed to update to the latest JTS 1.20.0 release which includes a new implementation of spatial relationships.

Use -Djts.relate=ng to try out the new implementation (replacing RelateOp with theReleateNG next generation implementation). Let us know how it goes, a future update will make this setting the default and expand the approach to “prepaired geometry” bulk operations used for WFS Queries.

Thanks to Martin Davis (CrunchyDB) for the JTS improvements, and Jody Garnett (GeoCat) for the release and GeoServer update.
- GEOS-11532 Update to JTS 1.20.0
Raster Attribute Table Extension
A new extension is available that takes advantage of the GDAL Raster Attribute Table (RAT). This data structure provides a way to associate attribute information for individual pixel values within the raster. This provides a table that links each cell value in the raster to one or more attributes on the fly.

Thanks to Andrea Aime (GeoSolutions) for the development and NOAA for sponsoring this new capability. Please see the user guide Raster Attribute Table support for more information.
- GEOS-11376 Graduate Raster Attribute Table to extension
GeoCSS improvements
GeoCSS can now perform scale dependent rendering by the zoom level, assuming web mercator by default, but allowing the configuration of a different gridset as well. It’s also possible to create multi-layer styles and use them as style groups.
```
@mode 'Flat';
@TileMatrixSet 'WorldCRS84Quad'

tiger:poly_landmarks {

  /* @title parks and green spaces */
  [CFCC in ('D82', 'D32', 'D84', 'D85')] {
    fill: #B4DFB4;
    stroke: #88B588;
  }; 
  …
}

tiger:tiger_roads [@z > 12] {
  stroke: #666666, #FFFFFF;
  stroke-width: 6, 4;
  z-index: 1, 2;
  …
}

…
```
Thanks to Andrea Aime (GeoSolutions) for this work, performed in preparation for the FOSS4G-NA 2024 vector tiles workshop.
- GEOS-11495 Support multi-layer output in CSS
- GEOS-11515 Add support for zoom level rule filtering in CSS
- GEOS-11414 Adding css-uniqueRoleName
Geostationary satellite AUTO code
AUTO:97004 has been introduced as a new vendor extension to WMS AUTO codes. It implements the geostastionary satellite project and allows to change the central meridian as part of the GetMap request.

Thanks to Andrea Aime (GeoSolutions) for this work, and Eumetsat for sponsoring it.
labelPoint function improved
The labelPoint function has been improved with more precise calculation of the polygon label points, and not requiring to specify a tolerance any longer. This helps get better maps, especially with tiling enabled (fixed labelling point no matter which tile is requested):
```
  <sld:TextSymbolizer>
    <sld:Geometry>
      <ogc:Function name="labelPoint">
        <ogc:PropertyName>the_geom</ogc:PropertyName>
      </ogc:Function>
    </sld:Geometry>
  </sld:TextSymbolizer>  
```
Thanks to Andrea Aime (GeoSolutions) for this work, performed in preparation for the FOSS4G-NA 2024 vector tiles workshop.
Improved vector tiles generation
A few new vendor options have been added in GeoServer, that control how vector tiles are built, with the objective of producing smaller, faster, more useful vector tiles.
- vt-attributes: comma separated list of attributes included in the vector tile
- vt-labels: when true, generates a sidecar -label layer for polygons, with the label point of the polygon (vector tile clients generally cannot produce a good label placement otherewise)
- vt-label-attributes:: attributes included in the label point layer
- vt-coalesce: if true, takes all features in the tile sharing the same attribute values, and coalesces their geometries into a single multi-geometry.
Here is an example style using the above vendor options, in GeoCSS:
```
@mode "Flat";

tiger:poly_landmarks {
  fill: gray;
  vt-attributes: 'CFCC,LANAME';
  vt-labels: true;
}

tiger:tiger_roads [@z > 11] {
  stroke: black;
  vt-attributes: 'NAME';
  vt-coalesce: true;
}

tiger:poi [@z > 12] {
  mark: symbol(square);
}
```
The GWC layer preview has also been improved to show the vector tile feature attributes on hover:

Thanks to Andrea Aime (GeoSolutions) for this work, performed in preparation for the FOSS4G-NA 2024 vector tiles workshop.
GeoPackage QGIS Compatibility Improvements
A number of issues affecting interoperability with QGIS have been addressed:

GeoPackage extension output could contain field types that are not supported by GDAL. It turns out the GeoPackage export was picking up some of the file type information intended for PostGIS resulting output that could not be read by other programs such as QGIS.

We were also able to fix up the TIMESTAMP information representation as DATETIME, making the file format timezone agnostic as intended.

Thanks to David Blasby (GeoCat) for these fixes made on behalf of Zeeland and South Holland.
- GEOS-11416 GeoPackage output contains invalid field types when exporting content from PostGIS
New image mosaic merge behaviors, MIN and MAX
These two new image mosaic merge modes activate when multiple images overlap with each other, choosing respectively the minimum and maximum value amongst the super-imposed pixels.

Thanks to Andrea Aime for the work, and the US National Research Laboratory for sponsoring it.

Data directory loader
The “Data Directory loader”, by Gabriel Roldan (Camptocamp), is a replacement data directory loader, reading the XML configuration files at startup. It has been optimized to achieve better parallelism and be more efficient over network file systems.

It can be found amongst the nightly builds, it’s a simple drop in replacement, just unzip the plugin in WEB-INF/lib and restart. Let us know how it works for you.
WFS HTML Freemarker output
The WFS HTML Freemaker output format is a community module generating HTML in response to GetFeature, using the GetFeatureInfo Freemarker templates.

Thanks to Alessio Fabiani (GeoSolutions) for starting this activity.
Graticule module
The graticules module is the combination of a data store and a rendering transformation allowing to generate graticules at multiple resolutions, and optionally placing the graticule labels at the map borders.

Thanks to Ian Turton for working on this activity. Ian needs a few more people to try this out before it can be included in our GeoServer roadmap.
