New Features

Rasterizing Geometry Layers

Finally, the full marriage of the vector, raster, and spark packages! You can now transform an RDD[Geometry] into a writable GeoTrellis layer of (SpatialKey, Tile)!

val geoms: RDD[Geometry] = ...
val celltype: CellType = ...
val layout: LayoutDefinition = ...
val value: Double = ...  /* Value to fill the intersecting pixels with */

val layer: RDD[(SpatialKey, Tile)] with Metadata[LayoutDefinition] =
  geoms.rasterize(value, celltype, layout)

Clipping Geometry Layers to a Grid

In a similar vein to the above, you can now transform an arbitrarily
large collection of Geometries into a proper GeoTrellis layer, where the
sections of each Geometry are clipped to fit inside their enclosing
Extents.

Here we can see a large Line being clipped into nine sublines. It's
one method call:

import geotrellis.spark._

val layout: LayoutDefinition = ...  /* The definition of your grid */
val geoms: RDD[Geometry] = ...      /* Result of some previous work */

/* There are likely many clipped Geometries per SpatialKey... */
val layer: RDD[(SpatialKey, Geometry)] = geoms.clipToGrid(layout)

/* ... so we can group them! */
val grouped: RDD[(SpatialKey, Iterable[Geometry])] = layer.groupByKey

If clipping on the Extent boundaries is not what you want, there are ways to customize this. See the ClipToGrid entry in our Scaladocs.

Sparkified Viewshed

A Viewshed shows "visibility" from some set vantage point, given an Elevation raster. Prior to GeoTrellis 1.2 this was possible at the individual Tile level but not the Layer (RDD) level. Now it is.

First, we need to think about the Viewpoint type:

import geotrellis.spark.viewshed._

val point: Viewpoint(
  x = ...,                    // some coordinate.
  y = ...,                    // some coordinate.
  viewHeight = 4000,          // 4 kilometres above the surface.
  angle = Math.PI / 2,        // direction that the "camera" faces (in radians). 0 == east.
  fieldOfView = Math.PI / 2,  // angular width of the "view port".
  altitude = 0                // the height of points you're interested in seeing.
)

In other words:

• x, y, viewHeight: where are we?
• angle: what direction are we looking?
• fieldOfView: how wide are we looking?
• altitude: how high/low is the "target" of our viewing?

Given a Seq[Viewpoint] (the algorithm supports multiple simultaneous
view points), we can do:

// Recall this common alias:
//   type TileLayerRDD[K] = RDD[(K, Tile)] with Metadata[TileLayerMetadata[K]]

val layer: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = ...  /* Result of previous work */

val viewshed: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = layer.viewshed(Seq(point))

Sparkified Euclidean Distance

We use Euclidean Distance to render a collection of points into a
heatmap of proximities of some area. Say, of two roads crossing:

Prior to GeoTrellis 1.2, this was possible at the individual Tile level but not the Layer (RDD) level. Now it is.

/* Result of previous work. Potentially millions of points per SpatialKey. */
val points: RDD[(SpatialKey, Array[Coordinate])] = ...
val layout: LayoutDefinition = ...  /* The definition of your grid */

val layer: RDD[(SpatialKey, Tile)] = points.euclideanDistance(layout)

Polygonal Summaries over Time

The following was possible prior to GeoTrellis 1.2:

val layer: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = ...
val polygon: Polgyon = ...

/* The maximum value within some Polygon overlaid on a Tile layer */
val summary: Double = layer.polygonalMaxDouble(polygon)

The above is also now possible for layers keyed by SpaceTimeKey to
form a "time series":

val layer: TileLayerRDD[SpaceTimeKey] = ...
val polygon: MultiPolygon = ...

/* The maximum value within some Polygonal area at each time slice */
val summary: Map[ZonedDateTime, Double] = layer.maxSeries(polygon)

Overzooming ValueReader

A GeoTrellis ValueReader connects to some layer catalog and lets you read individual values (usually Tiles):

import geotrellis.spark.io.s3._

val store: AttributeStore = ...
val reader: Reader[SpatialKey, Tile] = S3ValueReader(store).reader(LayerId("my-catalog", 10))

val tile: Tile = reader.read(SpatialKey(10, 10))

However .reader is limited to zoom levels that actually exist for the given layer. Now you can use .overzoomingReader to go as deep as you like:

import geotrellis.raster.resample._

val reader: Reader[SpatialKey, Tile] =
  S3ValueReader(store).overzoomingReader(LayerId("my-catalog", 20), Average)

val tile: Tile = reader.read(SpatialKey(1000, 1000))

Regridding a Tile Layer

Have you ever wanted to "redraw" a grid over an established GeoTrellis layer? Say, this 16-tile Layer into a 4-tile one, both of 1024x1024 total pixels:

Prior to GeoTrellis 1.2, there was no official way to do this. Now you can use .regrid:

/* The result of some previous work. Say each Tile is 256x256. */
val layer: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = ...

/* "Recut" the tiles so that each one is now 512x512.
 * No pixels are gained or lost, save some NODATA on the bottom
 * and right edges that may appear for padding purposes.
 */
val regridded: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = layer.regrid(512)

You can also regrid to non-rectangular sizes:

val regridded: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] = layer.regrid(tileCols = 100, tileRows = 300)

Robust Layer Querying

It's common to find a subset of Tiles in a layer that are touched by some given Polygon:

val poly: Polygon = ???

val rdd: TileLayerRDD[SpatialKey] =
 layerReader
    .query[SpatialKey, Tile, TileLayerMetadata[SpatialKey]](Layer("name", zoom))
    .where(Intersects(poly))
    .result

Now you can perform this same operation with Line, MultiLine, and even (Polygon, CRS) to ensure that your Layer and Geometry always exist in the same projection.

Improved Tile ASCII Art

Sometimes you just want to visualize a Tile without going through the song-and-dance of rendering it to a .png. The existing Tile.asciiDraw method kind of does that, except its output is all in numbers.

The new Tile.renderAscii: Palette => String method fulfills your heart's desire:

import geotrellis.raster._
import geotrellis.raster.io.geotiff._
import geotrellis.raster.render.ascii._

val tile: Tile = SinglebandGeoTiff("path/to/tiff.tiff").tile

// println(tile.renderAscii())  // the default
println(tile.renderAscii(AsciiArtEncoder.Palette.STIPLED))
