From industry-leading businesses, to individual daily activities, vast amounts of geospatial data are being collected each day. Vertica can help you analyze geospatial data. #SeizeTheData 6 Spatial analysis with Vertica – People who are using or developing GIS for data management and analysis would benefit from the geospatial package in Vetica. – Vertica supports two spatial data types, GEOMETRY and GEOGRAPHY, allowing spatial data to be stored and queried. A lot of GIS-enabled applications can work with Vertica. – Vertica provides 65+ built-in functions for spatial analysis. – Vertica geospatial analysis functions follow the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) standards, which are international open standards for geospatial interface and content. – Vertica also has additional spatial functions beyond OGC standard functions. #SeizeTheData 7 Vertica spatial data types Vertica supports two spatial data types that can be used to store geographical objects such as points, lines, and polygons. GEOMETRY : Used to store planar data. It is generally used to store XY coordinates in a two-dimensional space. GEOGRAPHY: Used to store spherical (round-earth) data. It is used to store longitude and latitude coordinates that represent points, lines, and polygons on the earth's surface. #SeizeTheData Import/export spatial data – Parse and load data from a Shapefile with a COPY command COPY table_name(columns) WITH SOURCE STV_ShpSource(file = ‘filename’) PARSER STV_ShpParser() – Exports data from Vertica to a Shapefile STV_Export2Shapefile (columns) USING PARAMETERS shapefile = ‘shapefile_name’) OVER() – Import spatial data from WKT/WKB formats (OGC standard geographic data formats) ST_GeomFromText(wkt), ST_GeomFromWKB(wkb), ST_GeographyFromText(wkt), ST_GeographyFromWKB(wkb) – Export spatial data as WKT/WKB formats ST_AsText(g), ST_AsBinary(g) – Export spatial data as GeoJSON format STV_AsGeoJSON(g) #SeizeTheData Vertica spatial analysis functions Vertica provides SQL functions that allow for the creation, comparison, analysis and retrieval of spatial data. ST_<function_name> functions are STV_<function_name> functions are compliant with OGC standards. (40+ unique to Vertica and not compliant with functions) OGC standards.(25+ functions) – ST_Area – STV_Create_Index – ST_Distance – STV_Refresh_Index – ST_Boundary – STV_Intersect – ST_Intersects – STV_Export2Shapefile – ST_IsValid – STV_AsGeoJSON –… –… #SeizeTheData 10 Vertica spatial function examples – ST_GeomFromText Converts a well-known text (WKT) string into its corresponding GEOMETRY object. – Can bulk loading spatial data from a data file with the COPY statement #SeizeTheData 11 Vertica spatial function examples – ST_AsText Creates the well-known text (WKT) representation of a spatial object. The OGC defines the format of a WKT string. – ST_SRID Identifies the spatial reference system identifier (SRID) stored with a spatial object. #SeizeTheData 12 Vertica spatial function examples – ST_Transform Returns a new GEOMETRY with its coordinates converted to the target SRID. #SeizeTheData 13 Vertica spatial function examples – ST_Area Calculates the area of a spatial object. – ST_IsValid Determines if a spatial object is well formed or valid. If the object is not valid, STV_IsValidReason returns a string that explains where the invalidity occurs. #SeizeTheData 14 Vertica spatial function examples – ST_Intersects Determines if two spatial objects intersect or touch at a single point #SeizeTheData 15 Spatial Joins – Spatial Joins allow you to identify spatial relationships between two sets of spatial data. Extensive applications are based on spatial join analysis. For example: • Calculate the density of mobile calls in various regions to determine the location of a new cell phone tower • Identify homes that fall within the impact zone of a hurricane • Calculate the number of users who live within a certain ZIP code • Calculate the number of customers in a retail store at any given time – Spatial join functions in Vertia are using spatial indexes which provide good performance. #SeizeTheData 16 Longitude and latitude data – World Geodetic System(WGS84) is an industry standard when mapping the Earth’s oblate spheroidal surface, and it is also the reference coordinate system used by GPS enabled devices. – WGS84 is common nowadays and is the standard for GPS data, so when people refer to lon lat, they mean WGS84 lon lat. #SeizeTheData 17 GEOGRAPHY data type – Vertica supports GEOGRAPHY spatial data type. – A GEOGRAPHY object is a spatial object defined as on the surface of a perfect sphere, or a spatial object in the WGS84 coordinate system. #SeizeTheData 18 GEOGRAPHY data type Compute ST_Distance on perfect sphere and WGS84. (Results in unit of meters) #SeizeTheData 19 Using GEOGRAPHY data type Pros – If your data covers the globe or a large area, this is probably the best. WGS84 is not projected, so distance measurement and spatial joins are more accurate than Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM). – Most web mapping expect data to be fed to them in WGS84, so GEOGRAPHY will work fine in your spatial analysis work flow. Cons – Processing functions for GEOGRAPHY are limited. – Computationally, functions for GEOGRAPHY are more expensive thus slower. For regional data, we usually use GEOMETRY data type. #SeizeTheData 20 Summary – Vertica provides 65+ functions that allow you to manipulate complex spatial objects. – Functions follow the OGC standards -- Easy for migration. – Fast computations based on spatial index. – Geosaptial analysis package automatically deploy on Vertica cluster. – Support spatial analysis on longitude and latitude data in WGS84 coordinate system. #SeizeTheData Hurricane risk analysis example – In his example, I will show you perform spatial analysis on longitude latitude data with Vertica. Make a heat map with your spatial data using Vertica and third-party softwares. – The ability to perform spatial queries, and display data spatially, is the essence and power of GIS. Vertica is perfect fit for your GIS development. #SeizeTheData 22 Hurricane risk analysis with Vertica Hurricanes leave behind extensive property damage. Using spatial analysis to estimate the impact of disasters in high-risk areas will provide important information to insurance companies on potential loss of property value. – In this example, we do a point-in-polygon analysis to identify properties that fall within the impact zone of a hurricane. – Determine areas most affected by a hurricane and visualize them on a heat map. – The example shows how you can gain insight into real-world challenges using your spatial data with Vertica. #SeizeTheData 23 Hurricane heat map The National Hurricane Center(NHC) provides various GIS datasets. In this example, we use the hurricane BONNIE dataset. The United States Census Bureau provides various census data. We downloaded the landmark dataset from the TIGER database. We do a spatial join analysis of a set of points and a set of polygons. Polygon dataset Hurricane BONNIE from http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gis/ Point dataset Landmarks from ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2015/POINTLM/ Tools Vertica

  • UNIT-II GPS Systems:NAVSTAR-GLONAAS-Beidou-QZSS-IRNSS-GPS Receivers Based On: Data Type and Yield-Realization of Channels-Signal
    UNIT-II GPS systems:NAVSTAR-GLONAAS-Beidou-QZSS-IRNSS-GPS receivers based on: Data type and yield-Realization of channels-Signal structure:Course Acquisition(code)-Carrier ranging and Navigational message Global Positioning System (GPS), originally Navstar GPS,[1] is a satellite-based radionavigation system owned by the United States government and operated by the United States Space Force.[2] It is one of the global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) that provides geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.[3] Obstacles such as mountains and buildings block the relatively weak GPS signals. The GPS does not require the user to transmit any data, and it operates independently of any telephonic or internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the GPS positioning information. The GPS provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world. The United States government created the system, maintains it, and makes it freely accessible to anyone with a GPS receiver.[4][better source needed] The GPS project was started by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1973, with the first prototype spacecraft launched in 1978 and the full constellation of 24 satellites operational in 1993. Originally limited to use by the United States military, civilian use was allowed from the 1980s following an executive order from President Ronald Reagan.[5] Advances in technology and new demands on the existing system have now led to efforts to modernize the GPS and implement the next generation of GPS Block IIIA satellites and Next Generation Operational Control System (OCX).[6] Announcements from Vice President Al Gore and the Clinton Administration in 1998 initiated these changes, which were authorized by the U.S.

  • FDM 9-20 Spatial Reference Systems
    Facilities Development Manual Wisconsin Department of Transportation Chapter 9 Surveying and Mapping Section 20 Spatial Reference Systems FDM 9-20-1 General February 28, 2001 The discipline of surveying consists of determining or establishing relative positions of points above, on, or beneath the surface of the earth. In Wisconsin, there are two primary spatial reference systems for defining the location of a point: - The U.S. Public Land Survey System (PLSS). - The National Spatial Reference System (NSRS). The PLSS is based on a system of townships, ranges, and sections (see FDM 9-20-5). The PLSS provides the basis for almost all legal descriptions of land. The NSRS, which includes the former National Geodetic Reference System (NGRS), is a mathematical reference system (see FDM 9-20-10). The NSRS consists of precisely measured networks of geodetic control that support accurate mapping over large areas. To understand the roles of these reference systems, it is important to recognize that the PLSS was designed for land ownership purposes but not for accurate mapping, and the NSRS was designed for geodetic surveying and mapping but not for land ownership documentation. Since accurate property maps are becoming essential with digital-based ownership documents, it is important that there be a substantial link between the two reference systems. Methods are needed to utilize the spatial characteristics of the NSRS when addressing the location of landmarks. Fortunately, recent technological developments such as the Global Positioning System (GPS), electronic total station survey instruments, and computer aided drafting (CAD) now make the task of using the PLSS and NSRS together more efficient, economical, and practical.
