Maybe Sextante for ArcGIS (http://www.sextantegis.com/downloads.html)?
It's written in Java and uses the ArcGIS Java SDK.

Hi,
Koordinates.com offers hosting of orthophotos on their servers (as
they do for Land Information New Zealand),
there is also an API option available.
I don't know the detils, you'll just need to ask the developers of it.

[OSGeo-Discuss] Help building a tile cache from a large dataset of orthophotos

[Connors, Bernie (SNB)]

We have a data set of orthophotos.  The specs are:

· 51,971 images, (1.92 Terabytes total)

· 30 cm GSD

· Cut in 2km x 2km grid

· No overlap between images

We are an ESRI shop and we are using version 9.31 on the desktop and the 
server.  We do not have the ESRI Image server extension.  To build a tile cache 
from the orthophotos we need to store the orthophoto data in an ESRI Raster 
data set.  This is proving to be very slow and problematic.  We have done this 
successfully in the past but with an older and smaller dataset (2000 images, 
200 GB, 1 m GSD).

Can somebody suggest an open source tool that can produce a tile cache that can 
be consumed by ArcGIS server 9.3.1?

Thanks,
Bernie.

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] Batch geocoding

Hello,

I have a large set of addresses (around 150k) that I need to geocode for a 
study (my Masters thesis on heat-related mortality). I am looking into 
different solutions, but I can't find anything that seems like it would work 
properly.

I could script a solution using Google's map API, but there is a limit of 2,500 
addreses per day (I can get around them with a little patience).

Right now the best solution I am looking at geopy for geocoding addresses 
(http://code.google.com/p/geopy/). It seems like a good system, I think I can 
use it to pull addresses out of my database and write back coordinates. There 
is one thing that I am not sure, about, though, is whether I am actually 
allowed to use the Google API without my use being liked to a specific web 
page. The terms of service and form for getting a Google API key require a URL 
linked to a Google account. In fact, it looks like the API can only be used 
through a web site:

"5.2 Account Key. After supplying Google with your account information and the 
URL of your Maps API Implementation, and accepting the Terms, you will be 
issued an alphanumeric key assigned to you by Google that is uniquely 
associated with your Google Account and the URL of your Maps API 
Implementation. Your Maps API Implementation must import the Google Maps APIs 
using this key as described in the Maps APIs 
Documentation, and Google will 
block requests with an invalid key or invalid URL. You may only obtain and use 
a key in accordance with these Terms and the Maps APIs 
Documentation."

So it looks like I can't even get it to work without a URL.

I can always write a script that loops through results extracted from the 
database, creates URLs and parses the XML results one at a time, but that seems 
like a fairly inelegant solution.

Does anyone have any good ideas about how to geocode a few thousand addresses?

Many thanks,
JP

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] Montreal Code Sprint 2011

[Connors, Bernie (SNB)]

If you are linking data to locations on a map it is a GIS.  One of the best 
descriptions of GIS I have heard is: "GIS is a two-way conversation between a 
map and a database" or something like that.

Just because your software cannot not perform advanced analysis like GRASS or 
ESRI does not mean it is not a GIS.

Hello all.  I've been asked to present my current project at a conference 
devoted to  "GIS in a Crisis".

While my project, open source computer-aided-dispatch, meets the 'crisis' 
element handily, whether or not it's 'GIS' is another question; it's built on 
GMaps.

I'm well aware of the large body of GIS work being done as this group uses that 
term, and I don't want to offend any GIS'ers in the audience (or here) by 
implying that my project is indeed a GIS instance.

Accordingly, in  my presentation's title or elsewhere, I'm thinking of using 
something like "... GIS[?] ..." and explaining that usage.

I think this might be a good GIS data template for Cities,Towns and

and planning to share your GIS data to rest of the world.

http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en/depts/doit/supp_info/gis_data.html

These data can be easily converted to Spatialite and PostGIS.

Anybody has better GIS data template idea than this?

If you have any GIS data to share probably you can send us the URL and

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] beakdown of osgeo server projects

[Connors, Bernie (SNB)]

It looks to me like you have 3 categories:
1) map servers - geoserver, mapserver, etc
2) Geoportals - degree, geonetwork, etc
3) Client side API - openlayers, etc

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] beakdown of osgeo server projects

Hi,

I'm no expert in the Web Services side of things, but for the FOSS4G 2010
osgeo live DVD I am tasked with splitting up the list of "Server Apps"
into smaller categories as the existing list has gotten a bit too large.

e.g. I've already split "Desktop Apps" into "Desktop GIS" and "Navigation
and Maps".

any good ideas on how to split this list in half?

deegree 
geoserver 
geonetwork 
geomajas
mapbender
mapserver 
mapnik 
mapguide 
openlayers
qgis-mapserver 
zoo-project
52n


thanks,
Hamish

The videos don't work for me either using WinXP, IE7, and Windows Media Player 
11.
