Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Demo WMS server

2010-05-12 Thread Judit Mays
Hi Jochen,

The deegree demo server [1] hosts a WMS as well. It always runs with the
latest stable version of deegree.

The Base-URL for the deegree WMS [2], an example for the GetCapabilities
[3] and, last but not least, an example for serving OSM slippy maps via
WMS [4] as direct data source are also available.

[4]http://demo.deegree.org/deegree-wms/wms.jsp
- Special features of deegree WMS

Greetings,
Judit

 I could imagine that other people have the same problem. How about having

 What do you think about this? I don't have access to any OSGeo hosts, but
 would be willing to help with the setup.

I don't have any demo server to offer. But this application may help you 
to find WMS services:

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] Demo WMS server

2010-05-12 Thread Jochen Topf
Thanks, I actually looked at the degree demo server and found at least the
layers I tested to be empty. :-( And because of the size restriction I can't
use it in my case anyway.

And thanks for the other suggestions on this list. None so far solve my problem.

I do not have a WMS client with a user interface where people could go through
the layers list to chose one. (And then maybe wonder, why this particular layer
doesn't work in this case or so.)

I only have a config file which needs a WMS URL, layer and SRS at a minimum.
Something that ideally will never change. I don't want to hardcode a layer that
might not exist anymore tomorrow.

Of course I can set this up easily myself, but would prefer to do it somewhere
where it benefits other people and the community as a whole can support it.

Jochen

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] open source polygon cluster aggregation algorithm?

2010-05-12 Thread G. Allegri
I have to work with plsql, the jts have the right algorithm so I've
decided to try it out: wrap the jts inside java stored procedures. It
hasn't been straigthforward but it works. Thanks for the hint Mike.
Fortunatly gt oracle-spatial plugin has some code to map
oracle.sql.STRUCT to JTS geometry, so I've extrapolated the needed
classes only, because it was too much to load the whole gt classes in
Oracle!

giovanni

2010/5/10 Mike Toews mwto...@gmail.com:
 The recent JTS has a nice buffering options, namely the mitre buffer.
 It does not have rounded corners, and has been very useful to me
 (i.e., we can physically survey-out the buffer on the ground with
 fewer points to locate and stake out).
 http://lin-ear-th-inking.blogspot.com/2007/12/new-buffer-styles-in-jts-19.html

 Although I'm no expert at plsql, it appears it can be extended with
 java, so maybe it could be possible to wrap the Oracle WKT/B(?)
 through JTS:
 http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Oracle/Extending-PLSQL-with-Java-Libraries/

 Someone must have done this for plsql in the past ...

 Hi Stefan. You guessed right, it's buildings generalization. I know
 jts and geos quite well but unfortunatly I  can't use them because I'm
 working directly on oracle with plsql. I think buffer is the way, but
 not the one oracle provides because it rounds the corners...

 Bye,
 Giovanni

 2010/5/7 Stefan Steiniger sst...@geo.uzh.ch:
 how about using R it has alpha shapes and a-like?

 What you describe sounds like a problem in map generalization. I.e. the
 approach of buffering is something what a colleague of mine once implemented
 to generalize house-blocks for maps (aggregate the single buildings).
 Unfortunately I don't know of any accessible code for that.

 If you are proficient in Java or C++ you could make you custom
 implementation with JTS or Geos (sounds easy to me).

 on what geographic objects are you working on? and how much does the shape
 to be need to maintained?

 Thanks Andrea for the links. Yes, I think the problem is similar, in
 fact I was also looking for concave hull and alpha shapes algoithms,
 but the only open solution I've found is from CGAL [1] and... it's too
 complex to extract and reimplement in my context (database procedural
 programming).

 IWe have implemented something very rude:

 1 - logically aggregate polyongs in clusters (given a certain distance)
 2 - buffer each polygon mantaining the shape (not the usual buffer,
 which make rounded artifacts)
 3 - geometrical union
 4 - shrink the result (unbuffer)

 But I have the time for a long holiday waiting the end of the process :)

 I'm looking for an algorithm to do polygon cluster aggregation,
 similar to the ArcInfo Aggregate Polygon [1].
 I know about GEOS Cascaded Union, but I need two more features:

 1 - clustering of polygons that fall within a a certain threshold
 distance from each other
 2 - mantain orthogonality, i.e. the original angles/shapes

 I don't know of any such implementation, but it looks somewhat
 similar to the computation of a concave hull:

Hi Jochen,

as we are constantly working on improvements for our services, I would
be very interested to hear more about these problems. Maybe we can
discuss them on the deegree users list or by private mail?
