      Publié: 3 September 2024, 2:00pm CEST

      As cidades inteligentes representam o futuro da vida urbana, integrando tecnologia e soluções baseadas em dados para aumentar a eficiência, a sustentabilidade e a qualidade de vida dos residentes. No centro do desenvolvimento das cidades inteligentes está o papel da inteligência artificial (IA) nos Sistemas de Informação Geográfica (GIS), revolucionando a forma como as cidades planejam, otimizam e gerem infraestruturas críticas, como redes de transporte, serviços públicos e serviços públicos.

      Nesta postagem falaremos um pouco sobre o papel multifacetado da IA ??no GIS para o planejamento de infraestrutura de cidades inteligentes, com foco em suas implicações e benefícios para o desenvolvimento urbano.

      O planeamento de infraestruturas de cidades inteligentes abrange uma vasta gama de elementos, desde sistemas de transporte inteligentes e serviços públicos energeticamente eficientes até serviços públicos responsivos e desenvolvimento urbano sustentável. O GIS alimentado por IA desempenha um papel fundamental neste processo, aproveitando dados espaciais, análises preditivas e monitoramento em tempo real para otimizar o projeto, operação e manutenção de infraestrutura para cidades inteligentes e resilientes.

      ? Aplicações de IA no planejamento de infraestrutura de cidades inteligentes:

      ? Otimização de Transporte
      ? Gestão de Utilidades e Eficiência Energética
      ? Prestação de serviço público
      ? Monitoramento Ambiental e Sustentabilidade

      ? Benefícios da IA ??no planejamento de infraestrutura de cidades inteligentes:

      ? Maior eficiência e otimização de recursos
      ? Tomada de decisão baseada em dados
      ? Melhor experiência do cidadão e qualidade de vida
      ? Desenvolvimento Sustentável e Resiliência

      Embora a IA traga benefícios significativos para o planeamento de infraestruturas de cidades inteligentes, desafios como a privacidade de dados, a segurança cibernética, a parcialidade dos algoritmos, a conformidade regulamentar e a equidade digital precisam de ser abordados. Isto requer quadros de governação robustos, envolvimento das partes interessadas, práticas éticas de IA e estratégias de planeamento urbano inclusivas para o desenvolvimento equitativo e sustentável de cidades inteligentes.

      Concluindo, o SIG alimentado por IA está a transformar o cenário do planeamento de infraestruturas de cidades inteligentes, oferecendo oportunidades sem precedentes de eficiência, sustentabilidade e inovação no desenvolvimento urbano. Ao aproveitar as capacidades da IA, as cidades podem otimizar a infraestrutura, melhorar a prestação de serviços e criar ambientes urbanos mais habitáveis ??e resilientes para as gerações vindouras. Adotar a IA no planejamento de cidades inteligentes não se trata apenas de avanço tecnológico – trata-se de construir cidades mais inteligentes, mais conectadas e sustentáveis ??que beneficiem a todos.

      Publié: 3 September 2024, 1:16am CEST

      Six years ago my family and I spent some time in France, passing through Lyon and Paris on the way back to Colorado. While Ruth stayed behind at a conference in Montpellier, Arabelle, Bea, and I did Paris in a day. We saw many bones, ate much gelato, hiked many stairs, rode many trains and buses, and enjoyed being together, seeing new places, and using our second language in one of the world's capitals. I cherish my memories of this day. I felt like I was killing the fun Francophile dad role and thoroughly enjoyed the company of my kids. I had a memorable time. We confirmed in June that Arabelle and Bea have strong, positive memories, as well.

      I went to Instagram for the first time in years to dig up a photo taken on that day that I haven't published on my blog before.

      We didn't go back to the Trocadero in June, assuming that it was closed for Olympics construction, but we did go back to Montmartre and Sacre Coeur. Both Arabelle and Bea have been cultivating Spanish as a third language since 2018 and had a chance to use it on our recent visit. We encountered a Spanish kid of Bea's age who had been separated from her parents and kept her company until we could reach her mom on the phone. She had no phone of her own, but had memorized key numbers.

      No atual cenário empresarial acelerado, aproveitar os dados de localização pode proporcionar uma vantagem competitiva significativa. Desde a otimização da logística e das rotas de entrega até à melhoria das experiências dos clientes através de serviços baseados em localização, a capacidade de extrair informações valiosas de dados geográficos é fundamental.

      Como você já deve saber o PostGIS é uma extensão de código aberto amplamente utilizada que adiciona suporte para objetos geográficos, permitindo que consultas SQL espaciais sejam executadas dentro do sistema de gerenciamento de banco de dados PostgreSQL. O Postgres-AI, por outro lado, é uma extensão introduzida recentemente que traz recursos de aprendizado de máquina (ML) diretamente para o PostgreSQL, permitindo treinamento e inferência de modelos no banco de dados.

      A integração do PostGIS e do Postgres-AI abre inúmeras possibilidades para inteligência de localização e análise de dados espaciais, incluindo:

      ?Seleção de sites de varejo e análise de mercado
      ?Logística e otimização da cadeia de suprimentos
      ?Modelagem preditiva para serviços baseados em localização
      ?Planejamento urbano e desenvolvimento de infraestrutura
      ?Monitoramento ambiental e esforços de conservação
      ?Marketing direcionado e segmentação de clientes

      Ao aproveitar essas ferramentas poderosas, as organizações podem tomar decisões baseadas em dados, otimizar operações e aprimorar sua compreensão de padrões e relacionamentos geográficos, ao mesmo tempo em que aproveitam o poder do aprendizado de máquina.

      Publié: 1 September 2024, 12:12pm CEST
      TorchGeo 0.6.0 Release Notes

      TorchGeo 0.6 adds 18 new datasets, 15 new datamodules, and 27 new pre-trained models, encompassing 11 months of hard work by 23 contributors from around the world.

      Highlights of this release Multimodal foundation models

      Diagram of a unified multimodal Earth foundation model

      There are thousands of Earth observation satellites orbiting the Earth at any given time. Historically, in order to use one of these satellites in a deep learning pipeline, you would first need to collect millions of manually-labeled images from this sensor in order to train a model. Self-supervised learning enabled label-free pre-training, but still required millions of diverse sensor-specific images, making it difficult to use newly launched or expensive commercial satellites.

      TorchGeo 0.6 adds multiple new multimodal foundation models capable of being used with imagery from any satellite/sensor, even ones the model was not explicitly trained on. While GASSL and Scale-MAE only support RGB images, DOFA supports RGB, SAR, MSI, and HSI with any number of spectral bands. It uses a novel wavelength-based encoder to map the spectral wavelength of each band to a known range of wavelengths seen during training.

      The following table describes the dynamic spatial (resolution), temporal (time span), and/or spectral (wavelength) support, either via their training data (implicit) or via their model architecture (explicit), offered by each of these models:

      Model Spatial Temporal Spectral
      DOFA implicit - explicit
      GASSL implicit - -
      Scale-MAE explicit - -

      TorchGeo 0.6 also adds multiple new unimodal foundation models, including DeCUR and SatlasPretrain.

      Source Cooperative migration

      Migration from Radiant MLHub to Source Cooperative

      TorchGeo contains a number of datasets from the recently defunct Radiant MLHub:

      These datasets were recently migrated to Source Cooperative (and AWS in the case of SpaceNet), but with a completely different file format and directory structure. It took a lot of effort, but we have finally ported all of these datasets to the new download location and file hierarchy. As an added bonus, the new data loader code is significantly simpler, allowing us to remove 2.5K lines of code in the process!

      OSGeo community project

      OSGeo Community logo

      TorchGeo is now officially a member of the OSGeo community! OSGeo is a not-for-profit foundation for open source geospatial software, providing financial, organizational, and legal support. We are in good company, with other OSGeo projects including GDAL, PROJ, GEOS, QGIS, and PostGIS. Membership in OSGeo promotes advertising of TorchGeo to the community, and also ensures that we follow best practices for the stability, health, and interoperability of the open source geospatial ecosystem.

      Lightning Studios support

      Lightning AI logo

      TorchGeo has always had a close collaboration with Lightning AI, including active contributions to PyTorch Lightning and TorchMetrics. In this release, we added buttons allowing users to launch our tutorial notebooks in the new Lightning Studios platform. Lightning Studios is a more powerful version of Google Colab, with reproducible software and data environments allowing you to pick up where you left off, VS Code and terminal support, and the ability to quickly scale up to a large number of GPUs. All TorchGeo tutorials have been confirmed to work in both Lightning Studios and Google Colab, allowing users to get started with TorchGeo without having to invest in their own hardware.

    • sur Free and Open Source GIS Ramblings: Building spatial analysis assistants using OpenAI’s Assistant API

      Publié: 29 August 2024, 8:15pm CEST

      Earlier this year, I shared my experience using ChatGPT’s Data Analyst web interface for analyzing spatiotemporal data in the post “ChatGPT Data Analyst vs. Movement Data”. The Data Analyst web interface, while user-friendly, is not equipped to handle all types of spatial data tasks, particularly those involving more complex or large-scale datasets. Additionally, because the code is executed on a remote server, we’re limited to the libraries and tools available in that environment. I’ve often encountered situations where the Data Analyst simply doesn’t have access to the necessary libraries in its Python environment, which can be frustrating if you need specific GIS functionality.

      Today, we’ll therefore start to explore alternatives to ChatGPT’s Data Analyst Web Interface, specifically, the OpenAI Assistant API. Later, I plan to dive deeper into even more flexible approaches, like Langchain’s Pandas DataFrame Agents. We’ll explore these options using spatial analysis workflow, such as:

      1. Loading a zipped shapefile and investigate its content
      2. Finding the three largest cities in the dataset
      3. Selecting all cities in a region, e.g. in Scandinavia from the dataset
      4. Creating static and interactive maps

      To try the code below, you’ll need an OpenAI account with a few dollars on it. While gpt-3.5-turbo is quite cheap, using gpt-4o with the Assistant API can get costly fast.

      The OpenAI Assistant API allows us to create a custom data analysis environment where we can interact with our spatial datasets programmatically. To write the following code, I used the assistant quickstart and related docs (yes, shockingly, ChatGPT wasn’t very helpful for writing this code).

      Like with Data Analyst, we need to upload the zipped shapefile to the server to make it available to the assistant. Then we can proceed to ask it questions and task it to perform analytics and create maps.

      from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()

file = client.files.create(
  file=open("H:/ne_110m_populated_places_simple.zip", "rb"),
  purpose='assistants'
)

      Then we can hand the file over to the assistant:

      assistant = client.beta.assistants.create(
  name="GIS Analyst",
  instructions="You are a personal GIS data analyst. Write and rund code to answer geospatial analysis questions",
  tools=[{"type": "code_interpreter"}],
  model="gpt-3.5-turbo",  # or "gpt-4o"
  tool_resources={
    "code_interpreter": {
      "file_ids": [file.id]
    }
  }  
)

      Then we can start asking questions and giving our assistant tasks:

      thread = client.beta.threads.create()

message = client.beta.threads.messages.create(
  thread_id=thread.id,
  role="user",
  content="Please load the zipped shapefile and describe the content"
)

      assistant > The shapefile has been successfully loaded as a GeoDataFrame with the following details:

- The GeoDataFrame has 243 entries.
- It contains a total of 38 columns with various data types including integer, float, and object types.
- One of the columns is a geometry column representing the spatial information.

If you have any specific analysis or visualizations you would like to perform on this data, feel free to let me know!

      The docs have a nice example for how to stream the answers back, e.g. into a Jupyter notebook. I’ve used it to create a small convenience function: 

      def ask_another_question(question):
    message = client.beta.threads.messages.create(
        thread_id=thread.id,
        role="user",
        content=question
    )
    with client.beta.threads.runs.stream(
        thread_id=thread.id,
        assistant_id=assistant.id,
        event_handler=EventHandler(),
    ) as stream:
        stream.until_done()

ask_another_question("Please list the three largest cities")

      assistant > code_interpreter

# Sort the GeoDataFrame by the population in descending order
largest_cities = gdf.sort_values(by='pop_max', ascending=False).head(3)[['name', 'pop_max']]
largest_cities
assistant > The three largest cities in the dataset, along with their maximum population numbers, are as follows:

1. Tokyo: 35,676,000
2. New York: 19,040,000
3. Mexico City: 19,028,000

These cities have the highest recorded maximum population numbers in the dataset. Let me know if you need any further information or analysis!
      ask_another_question("extract all scandinavian cities ")

      assistant > To extract all the Scandinavian cities from the dataset, we can filter the GeoDataFrame based on the countries typically considered part of Scandinavia. These countries include Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and sometimes Iceland. Let's filter the GeoDataFrame to extract the Scandinavian cities.
assistant > code_interpreter

# List of countries typically considered part of Scandinavia
scandinavian_countries = ['Norway', 'Sweden', 'Denmark', 'Finland', 'Iceland']

# Filter the GeoDataFrame for Scandinavian cities
scandinavian_cities = gdf[gdf['adm0name'].isin(scandinavian_countries)][['name', 'adm0name']]

scandinavian_cities.head()  # Displaying the first few Scandinavian cities
assistant > Here are some of the Scandinavian cities extracted from the dataset:

1. Reykjavík, Iceland
2. Oslo, Norway
3. Helsinki, Finland
4. København (Copenhagen), Denmark
5. Stockholm, Sweden

These are just a few examples of Scandinavian cities present in the dataset. If you would like the complete list or perform any specific analysis on these cities, feel free to let me know!
      ask_another_question(
    "please create a world map with all cities (use gray circles) "
    "with scandinavian cities highlighted as red circles. "
)

      assistant > To create a world map with all cities represented as gray circles and Scandinavian cities highlighted as red circles, we will use the GeoPandas library for mapping. Let's go ahead and create the map.
assistant > code_interpreter

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Plot all cities with gray circles and Scandinavian cities with red circles
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(12, 8))

# Plot all cities in gray circles
gdf.plot(ax=ax, color='lightgrey', markersize=5)

# Plot Scandinavian cities in red circles
scandinavian_cities.plot(ax=ax, color='red', markersize=50, edgecolor='black', label='Scandinavian Cities')

# Set the title
ax.set_title('World Map with Scandinavian Cities Highlighted', fontsize=16)

# Add legend
ax.legend()

# Display the map
plt.show()
assistant > It seems that there was an error while plotting the map because the GeoDataFrame `scandinavian_cities` does not have the necessary numeric data to plot the map directly.
...
plt.show()

output >

assistant > Here is the world map with all cities represented as gray circles and Scandinavian cities highlighted as red circles. The map provides a visual representation of the locations of the Scandinavian cities in relation to the rest of the cities around the world. If you need any further assistance or modifications, feel free to let me know!

      To load and show the image, we can use: 

      import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.image as mpimg

def show_image():
    messages = client.beta.threads.messages.list(thread_id=thread.id)

    for m in messages.data:
        if m.role == "user":
            continue
        if m.content[0].type == 'image_file':
            m.content[0].image_file.file_id
            image_data = client.files.content(messages.data[0].content[0].image_file.file_id)
            image_data_bytes = image_data.read()
            with open("./out/my-image.png", "wb") as file:
                file.write(image_data_bytes)
            image = mpimg.imread("./out/my-image.png")
            plt.imshow(image)
            plt.box(False)
            plt.xticks([])
            plt.yticks([])
            plt.show() 
            break

      Asking for an interactive map in an html file works in a similar fashion.

      You can see the whole analysis workflow it in action here:

      This way, we can use ChatGPT to perform data analysis from the comfort of our Jupyter notebooks. However, it’s important to note that, like the Data Analyst, the code we execute with the Assistant API runs on a remote server. So, again, we are restricted to the libraries available in that server environment. This is an issue we will address next time, when we look into Langchain.

      Conclusion

      ChatGPT’s Data Analyst Web Interface and the OpenAI Assistant API both come with their own advantages and disadvantages.

      The results can be quite random. In the Scandinavia example, every run can produce slightly different results. Sometimes the results just use different assumptions such as, e.g. Finland and Iceland being part of Scandinavia or not, other times, they can be outright wrong.

      As always, I’m interested to hear your experiences and thoughts. Have you been testing the LLM plugins for QGIS when they originally came out?

    • sur XYCarto: Cartographic Aotearoa

      Publié: 17 August 2024, 3:38am CEST

      I try hard to keep this blog about basic open source processing in GIS. I don’t spend much time talking about my cartographic work, since I like put it up in the gallery and try to let it speak for itself. Further, 90% of my cartographic products involve processing data before it ever gets to visualization, therefore, I see more value in demonstrating the basic processing and hopefully inspire folks to do their own thing once their data is in place.

      If you might indulge me; however, I’d love to toot my own horn as they say and do a write up on my acceptance to the Atlas of Design this year and the honor to do a brief interview with Radio New Zealand (RNZ) about the map.

      I know it is a bit cheeky to put up recognition of one’s own work, but this map was the culmination of several years of iterations, heaps of footwork getting it known, and a number of rejections along the way. I’m just so excited to finally get it out there to a wider audience.

      Since this is primarily an open source blog about GIS, and that several have asked me about my tech stack I’ll share a portion of it here. If you want to get a feel of some of my blending techniques, you can see some past blogs where I wrote this up.

      As I mentioned above, that vast majority of my cartography is in data prep and making data easier to work in visualization projects. I have a fairly simple tech stack for data prep.

      • QGIS – Base map layout. My method is most often to develop the base image here, but do all the post processing for legends, supporting text, graphics, etc in specialized layout software. QGIS is amazing at handling large file types, blending, and making repeatable color palettes. Doing work at a national and world scale is often without issue.
      • GDAL – Most used in the stack for prepping large scale raster data. Used more than anything else in GDAL for my vis work is gdalwarp, gdal_translate, gdaladdo, gdalbuildvrt, and gdaldem [hillshade, slope]. These are often used in bash scripts to repeat processes allowing me to easily develop multiple resolutions, scales, and resamples.
      • GeoPandas – Used for vectors and primarily for my cleaning to get lighter GPKG files, automating redundant processes like clips, simplification, and table manipulation. It is an amazing tool I use a lot in development too.
      • Python/Bash – Used for controlling all the automation and processing. Depending on the complexity of the task at hand, I will bounce between the two. Bash is really great at multi-core processing and can save enormous amounts of time in redundant processes.
      • Colorhexa /Gpick – Palette development. Gpick is incredibly helpful in sampling imagery to find a color value you like. You can bring these values into Colorhexa and start to develop gradients and divergent values all the while keeping within your tone. There are many other sites that will help you do this, I just happen to enjoy this one.
      • Docker – An unlikely item in a cartographic stack, but Docker has proved invaluable to me by allowing me to run multiple versions of QGIS and GDAL without wrecking my machine. I have a basic QGIS/Docker example here.

      For those out there who have supported me on this journey and even those who lurk in the shadows, I cannot thank you enough for reading, liking, and sending me messages letting me know you are out there and find some of this useful. It helps more than you know and motivates me to continue to move forward. Also, tell all your friends!

    • sur QGIS Blog: Reports from the winning grant proposals 2023

      Publié: 16 August 2024, 4:18pm CEST

      With the QGIS Grant Programme 2023, we were able to support six proposals (four in the first round and two in the second round) that are aimed to improve the QGIS project, including software, infrastructure, and documentation. The following reports summarize the work performed in the first four proposals:  

      1. QGIS Bug Tracker cleanup (#266)  – Report
         We have identified and closed ~291 tickets, among them:
        • 162 bugreports and feature requests which were already fixed or implemented
        • 29 bugreports and feature requests which are invalid (data issues, wrong use of functionality, etc)
        • 57 duplicate bugreports and feature requests
        • 5 won’t fix bugreports
        • 5 bugreports were converted to feature requests
        • 33 tickets were closed (does not contain steps to reproduce, test data and no feedback was provided within several month)
        • Additionally we ensured that all tickets has correct tags assigned to to make them easier to find.
      2. Porting to C++ and harmonization of Processing algorithms (#271) – Report
        The QGIS Porting to C++ and Harmonisation of Processing Algorithms grant is now complete.
        • Existing Processing algorithms Voronoi Polygons and Delaunay Triangulation have been ported to C++ and now use GEOS instead of the unmaintained Python module.
        • Two algorithms for generating XYZ tiles (directory and MBTiles variants) have been ported to C++ using a safer and cleaner multi-threading approach.
        • The Align Rasters tool, which was not exposed to Processing, has been removed and a new Processing algorithm with the same functionality has been added.
        • The existing Raster Calculator algorithm has been ported to C++. The algorithm now has two variants: a toolbox version that works the same way as before, and a modeler version that uses the same approach to input naming as the GDAL raster calculator.
      3. Add vertical CRS handling to QGIS (#267) – Report
        • As of QGIS 3.34, QGIS can now create and handle vertical and compound CRSes.
        • In QGIS 3.34 coordinate transforms were reworked so that they function correctly with vertical transformation, if both the source and destination CRS have vertical components.
        • In QGIS 3.36 the coordinate reference selection widgets were updated to offer choices of 2d only, compound, or vertical only CRSes.
        • In version 3.38, we introduced a new setting for QGIS projects, for their vertical reference system. Users can control this through project properties, and it’s accessible via PyQGIS and via associated expression variables (eg @project_vertical_crs) for use in print layouts.
        • Similarly, in 3.38 we introduced the API support for map layers to have a vertical CRS. (This was not exposed to users in 3.38 though)
        • In QGIS 3.40 so far we have exposed the vertical CRS setting for vector layers to users (via the layer properties dialog), allowing users to specify the associated vertical CRS for these layers. The vertical CRS is respected in elevation profile plots, in Identify tool results, and in 3D Map views (assuming the 3D map is created with an associated vertical CRS).
        • There is an open pull-request for 3.40 to expose the vertical CRS for point cloud layers in a similar way, with the vertical CRS being respected in elevation profiles, identify tool results, and 3D map views
        • We have open pull requests for 3.40 to show layer vertical CRS information in the layer properties “information” pages, and add expression variables at the layer scope (eg @layer_vertical_crs).
      4. Improve test result handling on QGIS CI (#268) – Report
        Any tests which fail a rendering comparison will write a descriptive comment to the PR. The comment details which render tests failed, where they are in the code, and includes some helpful pointers to downloading the full test report and the QGIS developer documentation. We also implemented lots of improvements in running the tests locally and how the render test reports are generated and presented to developers.

      Thank you to everyone who participated and made this round of grants a great success and thank you to all our sustaining members and donors who make this initiative possible!

      So with this release out the door, what is next? Well unfortunately, there is still lots of work to do on the API binding and API documentation front, and so in the interests of not having you wait another year between releases, I am now adopting the policy of "however many beta/rc releases required" which implies more frequent beta/rc releases. As one of the major remaining items is completed and/or newer versions of any of our web tier components are available, that will be the trigger for a new beta/rc release.

      What's the injury? When I came home from vacation and started to ramp up my running, my right Achilles tendon became sore and very inflamed. On July 17 I went out for a 30 mile run and had to bail at mile 20. I took some time off from trail running and have been chugging on an elliptical trainer at my gym. Yesterday I tried some running on the bike path behind my house and couldn't even go a mile without excruciating pain. I'm calling it, my season is over. The last time I had serious Achilles tendonitis like this was at the end of my ultimate frisbee career 20 years ago. It took 4 months before I could run without pain. I'm going to keep going to the gym, ice and rest, see some specialists, and get ready for 2025.

      Publié: 9 August 2024, 2:00am CEST

      I came across a brilliant thread on Mastodon by Sarah Dal discussing how she worked out what the most remote post box in the UK was. But there was one remark that bothered me, she said that to convert her lat, lon points to OSGB (EPSG:4326 to EPSG:27700 for the nerds) she had to go to the Ordnance Survey site to find some software to do this. Since she already had the points in QGIS this seemed like an unnecessary side quest to me. When I commented that she could have done this in QGIS she said that she always seemed to get it wrong.

      I’m confused by this (and by the many other people who ask questions on gis.stackexchange.com about the same thing) so I’ve put together this video showing how I would do this. Basically, you right click on the layer you want to reproject and select export->Save features as and then just change the drop down box to the projection you need. QGIS will then save the features and add that layer to your project. You shouldn’t see any difference other than the colour of the points will change (as QGIS assigns a new random colour to the new layer).

      And yes, I really should have split the Northern Irish post boxes out into a separate file and projected them to the Irish grid but this is just a demo.

    • sur Public Services on the Map: A Decade of Success

      Publié: 7 August 2024, 10:05pm CEST par Simon Chester

      The Netherlands’ Cadastre, Land Registry, and Mapping Agency (Kadaster) maintains the nation’s register of land and property rights, ships, aircraft, and telecom networks. It’s also responsible for national mapping and the maintenance of the nation’s reference coordinate system and serves as an advisory body on land-use issues and national spatial data infrastructures. In its public service role, Kadaster handles millions of transactions a day.

      Celebrating 10 years: PDOK’s evolution. (click to enlarge)

      PDOK was launched in 2013 to make the Dutch government’s geospatial datasets Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR) as mandated by the EU’s INSPIRE Directive. OGC Standards have been foundational in ensuring that the country’s Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) is scalable, available, and responsive.

      PDOK serves base maps and Earth Observation data for the whole country. It includes the Key Topography Register (Basisregistratie Topografie, BRT), aerial imagery (updated annually at 8 and 25 cm GSD), and the Large Scale Topography Register (Basisregistratie Grootschalige Topografie, BGT). The BGT is a detailed digital base map (between 1:500 and 1:5,000) that depicts building footprints, roads, water bodies, railways lines, agricultural land, and parcel boundaries. PDOK also serves a 3D dataset of buildings and terrain created from topography (BGT), building footprints (from the  Building and Addresses Register or BAG), and height information (from aerial photography).

      When PDOK was launched in 2013, it hosted 40 datasets and handled 580 million server requests annually. Today it hosts 210 datasets and handles 30 billion server requests annually—representing a 5,000% increase in service requests being handled by the platform.

      Examples of PDOK basemaps and imagery. Standards Enabling Success

      The majority of datasets on PDOK are made available using OGC’s popular Web Map Service (WMS) and Web Feature Service (WFS) standards. The BRT is available in three coordinate reference systems (EPSG 28992, EPSG 25831, and EPSG 3857) using the Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) standard. 

      Kadaster is in the process of transitioning to the newer OGC API Standards, including OGC API – Tiles and OGC API – Features. The most frequently used key registers, like the Building and Addresses Register (BAG), the Large Scale Topography Register (BGT), and the Key Topography Register (BRT) are in the process of being migrated to these newer OGC APIs. The focus is on using OGC API – Tiles, specifically Vector Tiles. For query services the OGC API – Features Standard is used. Although Earth Observation data doesn’t currently use the newer APIs, aerial imagery is available through WM(T)S services, stored as OGC Cloud Optimized GeoTiffs (CoG). 3D Building data is encoded as OGC 3D Tiles and served using the OGC API – 3D GeoVolumes standard. 

      The PDOK architecture and OGC Standards. (click to enlarge)

      By using the newer OGC API Standards, Kadaster has found it significantly easier to handle the large volume of data in its national-scale 3D building dataset (which can be used between scales of 1:500 and 1:10,000) providing an unparalleled, high-resolution perspective of the country’s built environment.

      OGC APIs also make it easier to track compute and memory usage on servers, allowing Kadaster to better realize platform scalability and optimize performance.

      PDOK uses the OGC API – 3D GeoVolumes to serve the 3D building dataset. (click to enlarge) A Smooth Transition to OGC APIs

      PDOK processes billions of user requests every month. Transitioning from OGC Web Services Standards to OGC APIs has meant Kadaster is able to efficiently handle the volume of requests it handles today – and can expect to handle in the future. 

      It took Kadaster little over a month to build their implementation of OGC API – Tiles. Following a short learning curve they were able to build out implementations of OGC API – Features and API – 3D GeoVolumes even faster. By making the move to deliver its geospatial tiles and feature data through an API conformant to the OGC API Standards, Kadaster continues to make government data Findable and Accessible. 

      PDOK implements what Kadaster calls the 3G principle—Generic (Generic), Geautomatiseerd (Automated) en Gestandaardiseerd (Standardized). This has led to simplified data processing, the automation of many manual processes, a standardization in services, and high standards in service design and operation – while at the same time remaining infrastructure independent. It has streamlined the adoption of new OGC Standards and made it better able to respond to changing user requirements.

      Kadaster and OGC

      Being an OGC Member allows Kadaster to leverage the collective knowledge of a global network of geospatial experts, while providing Kadaster with opportunities to contribute back to a community driven to use the power of geography and technology to solve problems faced by people and the planet.

      Kadaster has recently contributed to the OGC Community by participating in an OGC Code Sprint. These hybrid online/in-person events give participants the opportunity to work on implementations of new or emerging OGC Standards.

      Through OGC, Kadaster has also shared their experiences and challenges at OGC Member Meetings, contributing to the ongoing evolution of OGC Standards, Collaborative Solutions and Innovation (COSI) Program Initiatives, and, more broadly, advanced the “state of the art” of geospatial technologies.

      Binary Comparison Operators in GeoServer Filters

      In this session, we want to talk about the various types of filters, with a particular focus on “Binary comparison operators in GeoServer” comprehensively. If you want to access the complete tutorial, click on the link.

      Introduction

      Filtering allows the selection of features that satisfy a specific set of conditions. Filters can be used in several contexts in GeoServer:

      • In WMS requests, select which features should be displayed on a map
      • In WFS requests, specify the features to be returned
      • In SLD documents, apply different symbolizations to features on a thematic map

      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.

      Supported filter languages

      Data filtering in GeoServer follows the OGC Filter Encoding Specification, which provides a standard XML schema for encoding spatial, attribute, and temporal filters in GIS. This allows for customized queries to retrieve specific data from databases and web services while ensuring interoperability among GIS applications. GeoServer supports filters in both Filter Encoding Language and Common Query Language.

      Filter Encoding Language

      The Filter Encoding language, defined by OGC standards, utilizes an XML-based syntax to select specific features, similar to the “WHERE” clause in SQL. A filter consists of a condition formed by Predicate elements and Logical operators, employing comparison and spatial operators to evaluate relationships between feature properties. In this session, we will explore various types of binary comparison operators, while the next sessions will cover spatial operators.

      Common Query Language

      Common Query Language (CQL) is a Text-based language used in GeoServer for constructing filters and queries on geospatial data. It provides flexible and powerful options for filtering and retrieving specific subsets of data from GeoServer layers. In the upcoming sessions, we will dive into a detailed exploration of CQL/ECQL, covering its various operations and practical usage.

      Comparison operators

      These operators are part of Filter Encoding operators and are used in attribute-based queries to filter and retrieve specific features or data, based on their non-spatial attributes. The comparison operators include: binary comparison operators and value comparison operators.

      The binary comparison operators are:

      • PropertyIsEqualTo
      • PropertyIsNotEqualTo
      • PropertyIsLessThan
      • PropertyIsLessThanOrEqualTo
      • PropertyIsGreaterThan
      • PropertyIsGreaterThanOrEqualTo

      These operators contain two filter expressions to be compared. The first operand is often a <PropertyName>, but both operands may be any expression, function or literal value. Binary comparison operator elements may include an optional matchCase attribute, with the true or false value. The default value is true, but the comparisons do not check the case if the attribute has a false value.

      Note. String comparison operators are case-sensitive.

      PropertyIsEqualTo

      PropertyIsNotEqualTo is a common type of filter used in GeoServer, which allows you to retrieve features from a data source based on the values of one or more properties. As an example of using this filter in WFS getFeature request:

      • Navigate to the Demos page, then select Demo requests.
      • From the Request section, select the WFS_getFeature1.0.xml request.
      • The address will be filled in automatically, in the URL section.

      Use the following block codes to replace line 26:

      <PropertyIsEqualTo>
  <PropertyName>STATE_NAME</PropertyName>
  <Literal>Delaware</Literal>
</PropertyIsEqualTo>
      • Now, we will explain some elements:
        • The first fifteen lines include explanations in the form of comments.
        • Line 16 describes the XML version and the GetFeature operation of the WFS service being used.
        • Line 17 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 18 to 23 define the start of the XML request and declare the namespaces used in the request.
        • Line 24 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 PropertyIsEqualTo filter, to retrieve all features where the state name attribute is equal to Delaware.

      • Press the Submit button to see the implemented changes.

      • 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.
      PropertyIsNotEqualTo

      PropertyIsNotEqualTo is another common type of filter used in GeoServer, which allows you to retrieve features from a data source based on properties that don’t match a specified value. As an example of using this filter in a WFS getFeature request, use the following block codes to replace lines 26 to 29:

      <PropertyIsNotEqualTo matchCase="false">
  <PropertyName>STATE_NAME</PropertyName>
  <Literal>delAwarE</Literal>
</PropertyIsNotEqualTo>

      Note. The matchCase attribute in WFS_getFeature 1.1 and 2.0 versions, can be set to “false” to specify a case-insensitive comparison.

      Press the Submit button.

      In this example, we used the <PropertyIsNotEqualTo> filter to retrieve all features where the STATE_NAME attribute, is not equal to Delaware.

      PropertyIsLessThan

      The PropertyIsLessThan filter is used to filter features, based on a comparison of a numeric property with a given value. It returns all features where the specified property is less than the specified value.

      An example of using this filter in a WFS getFeature request is:

      outputFormat="shape-zip"
<wfs:Query typeName="topp:states">
    <wfs:PropertyName>topp:STATE_NAME</wfs:PropertyName> 
    <wfs:PropertyName>topp:LAND_KM</wfs:PropertyName>
<ogc:Filter>
  <PropertyIsLessThan>
    <PropertyName>STATE_FIPS</PropertyName>
    <Literal>18</Literal>
  </PropertyIsLessThan>
</ogc:Filter>

      Press the Submit button.

      In this example, we used the <PropertyIsLessThan> filter to get all features in a shapefile format where the value of the STATE_FIPS attribute is less than 18. The query only retrieves the STATE_NAME and LAND_KM fields, instead of all the attributes.

      In this session, we took a brief journey through the various types of filters, with a particular focus on “Binary comparison operators in GeoServer”. If you want to access the complete tutorial, simply click on the link.
