#rasters

2024-11-13

Chatter on ImageNet and Geoffrey Hinton (back propagation for deep learning). I think ImageNet *is* awesome and having a vast classified open image archive is what made Hinton's work possible. Anyone know of a #geospatial equivalent out there?

... “Pre-ImageNet, people did not believe in data,” Li said in an interview... “Everyone was working on completely different paradigms in AI with a tiny bit of data”...

The development version of the #rstats terra package now uses the viridis color palette by default.

TIL about rasterio, a #Python library for working with #rasters that's a lot easier to install than GDAL. Total gamechanger!

I needed to find out the CRS of a GeoTIFF that #ArcGIS wasn't reading correctly. It was a simple as running this code:

```
import rasterio as rs
dataset = rs.open(‘file.tif')
print(dataset.crs)
```
Documentation: rasterio.readthedocs.io/en/sta

And shout-out to this article that pointed me to it: towardsdatascience.com/reading

Howdy #mapstodon !

I'm hoping someone can take the time to help a #GIS #noob with a project. I'm working in the #Unity3D game engine to create game terrain from real world data.

So far it has been successful, but it is a painstaking process done completely by hand.

My trouble has to do with the projection of #OpenTopography data, USGS30m #Rasters to be precise.

I've attached two images to illustrate my problem...

DEM data converted to Unity Texture2D.

Note the vertical compression. This is incorrect...Open Topography's "visualization product" of the same area.

Note the very different vertical dimension. This one is correct.A screenshot from OpenTopography.org showing the job results of the requested data.
