2017 Nov 6

This release cycle saw a regular contributor Simeon Fitch elevated to official Committer status within GeoTrellis.

The team would like to thank him, along with our newest contributors Aaron Santos, Austin Heyne, Christos Charmatzis, Jessica Austin, and @mteldridge for helping make this release possible.

API Changes

• geotrellis.raster
  • Deprecation: GridBounds.size in favor of GridBounds.sizeLong.
  • Deprecation: GridBounds.coords in favor of GridBounds.coordsIter.
  • New: GridBounds.offset and GridBounds.buffer for creating a modified GridBounds from an existing one.
  • New: ColorRamps.greyscale: Int => ColorRamp, which will generate a ramp when given some number of stops.
  • New: ConstantTile.fromBytes to create any type of ConstantTile from an Array[Byte].
  • New: Tile.rotate90: Int => Tile, Tile.flipVertical: Tile and Tile.flipHorizontal: Tile.
• geotrellis.vector
  • New: Geometry.isEmpty: Boolean. This incurs much less overhead than previous ways of determining emptiness.
  • New: Line.head and Line.last for efficiently grabbing the first or last Point in the Line.
• geotrellis.spark
  • Deprecation: The LayerUpdater trait hierarchy. Use LayerWriter.update or LayerWriter.overwrite instead.
  • Deprecation: Every cache provided by geotrellis.spark.util.cache. These will be removed in favor of a pluggable cache in 2.0.
  • New: SpatialKey.extent: LayoutDefinition => Extent
  • New: ValueReader.attributeStore: AttributeStore
  • New: TileLayerRDD.toSpatialReduce: ((V, V) => V) => TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] for smarter folding of 3D tile layers into 2D tile layers.
  • The often-used apply method overloads in MapKeyTransform have been given more descriptive aliases.
• geotrellis.vectortile (experimental)
  • New: VectorTile.toGeoJson and VectorTile.toIterable.
  • Library simplified by assuming the codec backend will always be Protobuf.

New Features

Finally, the full marriage of the vector, raster, and spark packages! You can now transform an RDD[Geometry] into a writable GeoTrellis layer of (SpatialKey, Tile)!

val geoms: RDD[Geometry] = ...
val celltype: CellType = ...
val layout: LayoutDefinition = ...
val value: Double = ...  /* Value to fill the intersecting pixels with */

val layer: RDD[(SpatialKey, Tile)] with Metadata[LayoutDefinition] =
  geoms.rasterize(value, celltype, layout)

In a similar vein to the above, you can now transform an arbitrarily large collection of Geometries into a proper GeoTrellis layer, where the sections of each Geometry are clipped to fit inside their enclosing Extents.

Here we can see a large Line being clipped into nine sublines. It’s one method call:

import geotrellis.spark._

val layout: LayoutDefinition = ...  /* The definition of your grid */
val geoms: RDD[Geometry] = ...      /* Result of some previous work */

/* There are likely many clipped Geometries per SpatialKey... */
val layer: RDD[(SpatialKey, Geometry)] = geoms.clipToGrid(layout)

/* ... so we can group them! */
val grouped: RDD[(SpatialKey, Iterable[Geometry])] = layer.groupByKey

If clipping on the Extent boundaries is not what you want, there are ways to customize this. See the ClipToGrid entry in our Scaladocs.

A Viewshed shows “visibility” from some set vantage point, given an Elevation raster. Prior to GeoTrellis 1.2 this was possible at the individual Tile level but not the Layer (RDD) level. Now it is.

First, we need to think about the Viewpoint type:

import geotrellis.spark.viewshed._

val point: Viewpoint(
  x = ...,                    // some coordinate.
  y = ...,                    // some coordinate.
  viewHeight = 4000,          // 4 kilometres above the surface.
  angle = Math.PI / 2,        // direction that the "camera" faces (in radians). 0 == east.
  fieldOfView = Math.PI / 2,  // angular width of the "view port".
  altitude = 0                // the height of points you're interested in seeing.
)

In other words:

• x, y, viewHeight: where are we?
• angle: what direction are we looking?
• fieldOfView: how wide are we looking?
• altitude: how high/low is the “target” of our viewing?

Given a Seq[Viewpoint] (the algorithm supports multiple simultaneous view points), we can do:

// Recall this common alias:
//   type TileLayerRDD[K] = RDD[(K, Tile)] with Metadata[TileLayerMetadata[K]]

val layer: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = ...  /* Result of previous work */

val viewshed: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = layer.viewshed(Seq(point))

We use Euclidean Distance to render a collection of points into a heatmap of proximities of some area. Say, of two roads crossing:

Prior to GeoTrellis 1.2, this was possible at the individual Tile level but not the Layer (RDD) level. Now it is.

/* Result of previous work. Potentially millions of points per SpatialKey. */
val points: RDD[(SpatialKey, Array[Coordinate])] = ...
val layout: LayoutDefinition = ...  /* The definition of your grid */

val layer: RDD[(SpatialKey, Tile)] = points.euclideanDistance(layout)

The following was possible prior to GeoTrellis 1.2:

val layer: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = ...
val polygon: Polgyon = ...

/* The maximum value within some Polygon overlaid on a Tile layer */
val summary: Double = layer.polygonalMaxDouble(polygon)

The above is also now possible for layers keyed by SpaceTimeKey to form a “time series”:

val layer: TileLayerRDD[SpaceTimeKey] = ...
val polygon: MultiPolygon = ...

/* The maximum value within some Polygonal area at each time slice */
val summary: Map[ZonedDateTime, Double] = layer.maxSeries(polygon)

A GeoTrellis ValueReader connects to some layer catalog and lets you read individual values (usually Tiles):

import geotrellis.spark.io.s3._

val store: AttributeStore = ...
val reader: Reader[SpatialKey, Tile] = S3ValueReader(store).reader(LayerId("my-catalog", 10))

val tile: Tile = reader.read(SpatialKey(10, 10))

However .reader is limited to zoom levels that actually exist for the given layer. Now you can use .overzoomingReader to go as deep as you like:

import geotrellis.raster.resample._

val reader: Reader[SpatialKey, Tile] =
  S3ValueReader(store).overzoomingReader(LayerId("my-catalog", 20), Average)

val tile: Tile = reader.read(SpatialKey(1000, 1000))

Have you ever wanted to “redraw” a grid over an established GeoTrellis layer? Say, this 16-tile Layer into a 4-tile one, both of 1024x1024 total pixels:

Prior to GeoTrellis 1.2, there was no official way to do this. Now you can use .regrid:

/* The result of some previous work. Say each Tile is 256x256. */
val layer: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = ...

/* "Recut" the tiles so that each one is now 512x512.
 * No pixels are gained or lost, save some NODATA on the bottom
 * and right edges that may appear for padding purposes.
 */
val regridded: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = layer.regrid(512)

You can also regrid to non-rectangular sizes:

val regridded: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = layer.regrid(tileCols = 100, tileRows = 300)

It’s common to find a subset of Tiles in a layer that are touched by some given Polygon:

val poly: Polygon = ???

val rdd: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] =
 layerReader
    .query[SpatialKey, Tile, TileLayerMetadata[SpatialKey]](Layer("name", zoom))
    .where(Intersects(poly))
    .result

Now you can perform this same operation with Line, MultiLine, and even (Polygon, CRS) to ensure that your Layer and Geometry always exist in the same projection.

Sometimes you just want to visualize a Tile without going through the song-and-dance of rendering it to a .png. The existing Tile.asciiDraw method kind of does that, except its output is all in numbers.

The new Tile.renderAscii: Palette => String method fulfills your heart’s desire:

import geotrellis.raster._
import geotrellis.raster.io.geotiff._
import geotrellis.raster.render.ascii._

val tile: Tile = SinglebandGeoTiff("path/to/tiff.tiff").tile

// println(tile.renderAscii())  // the default
println(tile.renderAscii(AsciiArtEncoder.Palette.STIPLED))

Gorgious.

By adding some additional configuration, you can now use our HDFS Layer Backend to read and write GeoTrellis layers to Microsoft Azure’s blob storage.

It’s now possible to customize how our S3 backend communicates with S3.

GeoTrellis uses the Java Topology Suite for its vector processing. By default, JTS uses a “floating” PrecisionModel. When writing code that needs to be numerically robust, this default can lead to Topology Exceptions.

You can now use Typesafe Config to configure this to your application’s needs. See here for the specifics.

API Changes

While we are trying to stick strictly to SemVer, there are slight API changes in this release. We felt that while this does break SemVer in the strictest sense, the change were not enough to warrant a 2.0 release. Our hope is in the future to be more cognizant of API changes for future releases.

• Made EPSG capatilization consistent in method names:

  • In geotrellis.proj4.CRS, changed getEPSGCode to getEpsgCode
  • In geotrellis.proj4.io.wkt.WKT, changed fromEPSGCode to fromEpsgCode and getEPSGCode to getEpsgCode

• Changed some internal but publicly visible classes dealing with GeoTiff reading

  • Changed size to length in ArraySegmentBytes
  • Replaced foreach on SegmentBytes with getSegments, which the caller can iterate over themselves
  • Changed getDecompressedBytes to decompressGeoTiffSegment

• Changed some interal but publicly visible implicit classes and read methods around TiffTagReader

  • Added as an implicit parameter to multiple locations, most publicly in TiffTagReader.read(byteReader: ByteReader, tagsStartPosition: Long)(implicit ttos: TiffTagOffsetSize). Also changed that method from being generic to always taking a Long offset.

• Moved some misplaced implicit JsonFormats

  • Moved CellTypeFormat and CellSizeFormat from `` geotrellis.spark.etl.config.json`` in the spark-etl subproject to geotrellis.raster.io.json.Implicits in the raster subproject.

• Changed LazyLogger from the com.typesafe.scalalogging version to our own version

  • This shouldn’t break any code, but technically is an API change.

0.10.0

The long awaited GeoTrellis 0.10 release is here!

It’s been a while since the 0.9 release of GeoTrellis, and there are many significant changes and improvements in this release. GeoTrellis has become an expansive suite of modular components that aide users in the building of geospatial application in Scala, and as always we’ve focused specifically on high performance and distributed computing. This is the first official release that supports working with Apache Spark, and we are very pleased with the results that have come out of the decision to support Spark as our main distributed processing engine. Those of you who have been tuned in for a while know we started with a custom built processing engine based on Akka actors; this original execution engine still exists in 0.10 but is in a deprecated state in the geotrellis-engine subproject. Along with upgrading GeoTrellis to support Spark and handle arbitrarily-sized raster data sets, we’ve been making improvements and additions to core functionality, including adding vector and projection support.

It’s been long enough that release notes, stating what has changed since 0.9, would be quite unwieldy. Instead I put together a list of features that GeoTrellis 0.10 supports. This is included in the README on the GeoTrellis Github, but I will put them here as well. It is organized by subproject, with more basic and core subprojects higher in the list, and the subprojects that rely on that core functionality later in the list, along with a high level description of each subproject.

geotrellis-proj4

• Represent a Coordinate Reference System (CRS) based on Ellipsoid, Datum, and Projection.
• Translate CRSs to and from proj4 string representations.
• Lookup CRS’s based on EPSG and other codes.
• Transform (x, y) coordinates from one CRS to another.

• Perform Kriging interpolation on point values.
• Perform affine transformations of geometries

geotrellis-vector-testkit

• GeometryBuilder for building test geometries
• GeometryMatcher for scalatest unit tests, which aides in testing equality in geometries with an optional threshold.

geotrellis-raster

• Provides types to represent single- and multi-band rasters, supporting Bit, Byte, UByte, Short, UShort, Int, Float, and Double data, with either a constant NoData value (which improves performance) or a user defined NoData value.
• Treat a tile as a collection of values, by calling “map” and “foreach”, along with floating point valued versions of those methods (separated out for performance).
• Combine raster data in generic ways.
• Render rasters via color ramps and color maps to PNG and JPG images.
• Read GeoTiffs with DEFLATE, LZW, and PackBits compression, including horizontal and floating point prediction for LZW and DEFLATE.
• Write GeoTiffs with DEFLATE or no compression.
• Reproject rasters from one CRS to another.
• Resample of raster data.
• Mask and Crop rasters.
• Split rasters into smaller tiles, and stitch tiles into larger rasters.
• Derive histograms from rasters in order to represent the distribution of values and create quantile breaks.
• Local Map Algebra operations: Abs, Acos, Add, And, Asin, Atan, Atan2, Ceil, Cos, Cosh, Defined, Divide, Equal, Floor, Greater, GreaterOrEqual, InverseMask, Less, LessOrEqual, Log, Majority, Mask, Max, MaxN, Mean, Min, MinN, Minority, Multiply, Negate, Not, Or, Pow, Round, Sin, Sinh, Sqrt, Subtract, Tan, Tanh, Undefined, Unequal, Variance, Variety, Xor, If

geotrellis-spark

• Generic way to represent key value RDDs as layers, where the key represents a coordinate in space based on some uniform grid layout, optionally with a temporal component.
• Represent spatial or spatiotemporal raster data as an RDD of raster tiles.
• Generic architecture for saving/loading layers RDD data and metadata to/from various backends, using Spark’s IO API with Space Filling Curve indexing to optimize storage retrieval (support for Hilbert curve and Z order curve SFCs). HDFS and local file system are supported backends by default, S3 and Accumulo are supported backends by the geotrellis-s3 and geotrellis-accumulo projects, respectively.
• Query architecture that allows for simple querying of layer data by spatial or spatiotemporal bounds.
• Perform map algebra operations on layers of raster data, including all supported Map Algebra operations mentioned in the geotrellis-raster feature list.
