Getting to the Point with Geospatial
Jayson Delancey
Description
Audience Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Even if you are a seasoned Python wizard it takes some effort to get your bearings when working with geographical data. In this workshop, we'll start with some beginner projects to build geospatial applications.
- How to identify the location of an image file with PIL
- How to find places on a map with NLTK
- How to read/write geospatial file types with tools like geopandas
- How to visualize point clouds from GPS traces or LiDAR data with PPTK
- How to store and query vector tiles with XYZ
By the end of our time together you will have gone from Hello World to having a roadmap for where to learn more about geospatial tools and techniques.
