Hi, I personally see PostGIS Raster from a developer's point of view (too close to code problems). But taking some distance, I collaborate in two use cases right now in my company: - Geospatial database in the cloud. We have a big raster coverage (~ 50GB) in several GeoTIFF files (~ 5-6 GB each one). We want to serve them through a WMS interface using a cloud architecture with PostgreSQL/PostGIS/PostGIS Raster storage. We may execute gdal2tiles against each file and store tiles in PostGIS Raster (just a possibility). Starting project. - Vector/raster intersection. We want to cross public cadastral information with a base layer of raster data (orthophotos, DEMs...) to provide some value over the cadastral information. Useful for farmers. Ongoing project. More ideas welcome :-) Best regards, -- Jorge Arévalo Internet & Mobilty Division, DEIMOS jorge.arev...@deimos-space.com http://es.linkedin.com/in/jorgearevalo80 http://mobility.grupodeimos.com/ http://gis4free.wordpress.com http://geohash.org/ezjqgrgzz0g _______________________________________________ postgis-users mailing list postgis-users@postgis.refractions.net http://postgis.refractions.net/mailman/listinfo/postgis-users
