SYNOPSIS

PostGIS is the well-known spatial database extension to PostgreSQL. PostGIS features a wide range of vector spatial data processing features as well as raster data management features.

This training session will allow you to get your hands on the 3D features available in PostGIS, starting from version 2.1, and using the SFCGAL library.

This training session covers the installation of PostGIS 3D, importing 3D data and/or creating 3D data from 2D GIS data, using available processing capabilities and 3D features, specificities and constraints regarding 3D data, and visualization with QGIS 3D (Horao plugin).

GOALS

The course will give you the following skills :

  • Know how to import and export 3D data
  • Know how to create 3D data, from 2D GIS data
  • Be able to use 3D spatial features of PostGIS (SFCGAL)
  • Know the performance issues regarding 3D
  • Be able to manipulate 3D data from QGIS 3D (Horao)
