The Analysis And Deployment Of A Fully Open Monitoring System In The Sri Lankan Deduroya Basin: The 4onse Project, Massimiliano Cannata, Daniele Strigaro, Imran Shahid, Rangajeewa Ratnayake, B.H. Sudantha
The Analysis And Deployment Of A Fully Open Monitoring System In The Sri Lankan Deduroya Basin: The 4onse Project, Massimiliano Cannata, Daniele Strigaro, Imran Shahid, Rangajeewa Ratnayake, B.H. Sudantha
Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings
The 4onse project studies non-conventional monitoring systems fully based on open technologies (hardware, standard protocols, software and data) for the management of resources and natural hazards in developing countries. After the design of hydro-meteorological stations and software for the collection, management and distribution of data, the study involves the installation of 30 stations in the Deduroya Oya river basin in Sri Lanka. The system will be analysed to fully understand the real cost of ownership, data quality and applicability in real situations. If properly validated, these systems can provide an alternative solution, effective and sustainable for the protection of property …

Fevers of unknown origin can have different aetiologies. The overlapping symptomatology of rickettsial infection and other endemic diseases that cause fever leads to a misdiagnosis or under-diagnosis of spotted fever group of Rickettsia (SFGR).
To better understand the epidemiology of this vector-borne disease in Angola, a comprehensive seroprevalence study was conducted investigating the exposure to SFGR in a sample of 92 febrile, Malaria and Yellow Fever negative human plasma specimen, collected to the study of the national surveillance of febrile syndromes between 2016 and 2017, in Angola.
The seroprevalence of IgG antibodies against SFG Rickettsia in humans was calculated by …

Crowdsourcing The Georeferencing Of Historical Pictures, Timothée Produit, Nicolas Blanc, Sarah Composto, Jens Ingensand, Loic Furhoff
Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings
Countless organizations own archive pictures which are not used due to the difficulty of localizing them. Only the participation of volunteers can help to identify the image content. Through an accessible web interface called smapshot, citizens are able to georeference historical images without any prior specific competence. To avoid the volunteers to face the complexity of 3D digitization and navigation, we implemented a state of the art photogrammetry camera orientation algorithm in the platform. Currently several thousand images from all around Switzerland have been georeferenced by the crowd. At this time the tool is mainly used by the population for …

Istsos Version 3, Cannata Massimiliano, Milan Antonovic, Daniele Strigaro, Mirko Cardoso
Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings
istSOS version 3 is a new full stack open source application framework that, implementing the Sensor Observation Service standard from the OGC and including some special features, offers the capability to manage and disseminate observation from sensors networks. istSOS3 has been redesigned with the mission to solve the problems of high loads environments and quality of service. After some recent researches that have shown that istSOS version 2 is not adequate to meet high demanding environment in terms of high concurrency, big data and performance, istSOS version 3 has been rewritten from ground up taking advantages from the latest technologies …
Robust Railroad Cable Detection In Rural Areas From Mls Point Clouds, Máté Cserép, Péter Hudoba, Zoltán Vincellér
Robust Railroad Cable Detection In Rural Areas From Mls Point Clouds, Máté Cserép, Péter Hudoba, Zoltán Vincellér
Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings
Monitoring of the railroad infrastructure is crucial for safety concerns and accident prevention. This task requires regular surveillance which is nowadays still carried out by expensive and time consuming manual visual inspections in many countries. The problem of railroad cable recognition (contact cables, catenary cables, return current cables) in rural areas based on LiDAR point clouds has it own methods, but current state of the art solutions suffer from extremely high computational load due the extensive size of the datasets. In this study we analyzed and compared novel robust solutions focusing on minimizing the assumptions (positions and distances of track …

The Construction Of Open Data Portal Using Dkan For Integrate To Multiple Japanese Local Government Open Data, Toshikazu Seto, Yoshihide Sekimoto
Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings
In recent years, the Code for Japan, a civic tech community in Japan, has focused on the context of the FOSS4G. Consequently, the Japanese have published open data in more than 150 local governments, but these data are almost simply provided as a file on their website. And also CKAN portal are used less than 20 cities. In this study, we built open data platform that uses DKAN for integrated open data distribution of Japanese local governments.
Supporting Trajectory Udf Queries And Indexes On Postgis, Pyoung Woo Yang, Kwang Woo Nam
Supporting Trajectory Udf Queries And Indexes On Postgis, Pyoung Woo Yang, Kwang Woo Nam
Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings
In this paper, we propose a system model for querying and indexing the GPS trajectory of moving objects on PostGIS/PostgreSQL. We developed moving object data types including MPoint(moving point), MDouble(moving double) for GPS trajectories. Also, various moving objects UDFs(user-defined functions) are implemented for moving objects queries. For efficient query processing, r-tree index is extended for trajectory, and pre-materialization techniques are proposed for fast UDF processing. Experimental results show that the pre-materialization techniques are about 1.2 times faster than naïve query processing using r-tree index.

Social media as the de facto communication channel is being used to disseminate one’s diurnal self-revelations. This profound discovery often contains double-talk, peculiar insights, or contextual information about real-world events. Natural language processing is regularly used to uncover both obvious and latent knowledge claims within disclosures published amid the complex environment. For example, a perpetrator with first-hand knowledge of their criminal incident uses social media to post critical information about it. A geographic information system (GIS) is capable of large-scale point data analysis and possesses methods that enable dataset processing, evaluation, and automatic spatial visualization. Such an artifact—fused with traditional …
Qkan - Management Of Drainage System Data With Qgis, Jörg Höttges
Qkan - Management Of Drainage System Data With Qgis, Jörg Höttges
Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings
Based on QGIS a database structure and a set of plugins have been developed to improve the workflow for the hydraulic design of urban drainage systems for consulting engineers. The main goal is pre- and postprocessing in combination with various commercial hydraulic simulation software packages. The plugins provide import and export functionalities, simulation result viewing and generation of longitudinal cross sections in a CAD program. All modules make intensive use of SQL based spatial functions instead of functions implemented in QGIS, because of their stability, higher flexibility and speed due to the indexing functionality. On the other hand the database …

Analyzing The Performance Of Nosql Vs. Sql Databases For Spatial And Aggregate Queries, Sarthak Agarwal, Ks Rajan
Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) Conference Proceedings
Relational databases have been around for a long time and spatial databases have exploited this feature for close to two decades. The recent past has seen the development of NoSQL non-relational databases, which are now being adopted for spatial object storage and handling, too. While SQL databases face scalability and agility challenges and fail to take the advantage of the cheap memory and processing power available these days, NoSQL databases can handle the rise in the data storage and frequency at which it is accessed and processed - which are essential features needed in geospatial scenarios, which do not deal …
