SYNOPSIS
PostGIS, the spatial database, is able to deal with raster data (images) on top of its wide range of vector data features. Made for vector/raster data processing, the PostGIS Raster module will allow new use cases for geospatial analysis.
This training session will allow you to install and get your hands on PostGIS Raster for the main use cases.
GOALS
-
- Know the main PostGIS Raster features
- Be autonomous for data import and writing of raster/vector spatial queries
- Know about the main performance issues and how to manage them
- Be able to use PostGIS Raster with other visualization tools
PROGRAM
This program is indicative. It could be adapted to your specific needs.
