[gdal-dev] simple listing of layers by OGR

2009-09-17 Thread Yilmaz Arslanoglu
Hello everybody;

First of all, I would like to say that I am quite new in S-57 format
and GDAL/OGR libraries.

As a starting point, I downloaded the source codes and built the whole
GDAL library on my computer,
using the "nmake" of Visual Studio 2008.

Now:

poDS = OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open( "US5LA24M.000", FALSE );
for (int i = 0; i < poDS->GetLayerCount(); i++)
  printf("layer %d: %s\n", i, poDS->GetLayer(i)->GetLayerDefn()->GetName());

When I try to list the layer names of a datasource with the code snippet above,
I get the following result:

layer 0: DSID
layer 1: Point
layer 2: Line
layer 3: Area
layer 4: Meta

However, the utility application "ogrinfo" gives a quite different
result as follows:
(when run with command  "ogrinfo US5LA24M.000" )

1: DSID (None)
2: ACHARE
3: BCNLAT (Point)
4: BCNSPP (Point)
5: BUISGL
...
...
...
49: M_QUAL (Polygon)
50: C_ASSO (None)

I examined the source code of "ogrinfo" under the "gdal-1.6.2\apps\"
directory, however,
I could not find a difference in terms of listing the layers in the dataset.

What could be the problem, is there a point that I'm missing?

Frank, thank you very much for the answer.

Yes, I use the "ogrinfo" application that comes with the FWTools installation.
( Thanks by the way for this wonderful set of tools  )
For my own application, I just built the GDAL library with
default configuration options, just changing the compiler
version to 1500 (stating that I'm using Visual Studio 2008)

Ok, let me apply the changes that you proposed.

Best regards,

[gdal-dev] OGRGeometry Distance

2009-09-21 Thread Yilmaz Arslanoglu
Hi all;

I wanted to compute the distance between two points,
and for this reason I tried the "OGRGeometry::Distance" member function.

However, I saw that this function only returns the linear
distance between the objects, regardless of their geospatial reference.
(as it is also stated somewhere on the net that GEOS library
implements it this way)

So I would like to compute the actual distance between the points,
let's say,
  23 degrees north, 30 degrees east
and
  25 degrees west, -5 degrees east.

My question is, do we need to implement this functionality by using
projection transformations etc., or is there an easy way to do this
using the OGR library?

Also, as another related question, I query the DEPCNT  layer in one of
my ENC files, and it has a geospatial reference.
However, the points on the line string features themselves return NULL
when they are queried with getSpatialReference().
Aren't they expected to return exactly the same instance for the layer
that they reside on?

Regards,
Yilmaz

Yes Chris, you are right. Actually my purpose is to make a bathymetric
prediction of a given position, with the help of the contours and sounding
points at hand. I just thought that it would be a better idea to take shortest
distances in calculations (maybe the Kriging) rather than using pure lat-lon
values. So does it make sense to use the geodesic distances for the
closeness criteria?

[gdal-dev] sounding point handling by OGR library

2009-09-29 Thread Yilmaz Arslanoglu
Hi;

I had some questions regarding the additional feature of sounding
point handling by the OGR library.

I know that we need to turn on the options SPLIT_MULTIPOINT and
ADD_SOUNDG_DEPTH options on.

1) Is there a way to turn them individually on without affecting the
other suboptions in OGR_S57_OPTIONS ?
Because if we do it by the following statement:

   CPLSetConfigOption("OGR_S57_OPTIONS",
"SPLIT_MULTIPOINT=ON,ADD_SOUNDG_DEPTH=ON");

   Then there is a possibility to overwrite the other suboptions
UPDATES, RETURN_PRIMITIVES,
PRESERVE_EMPTY_NUMBERS, LNAM_REFS, and RETURN_LINKAGES.

2) With turning ADD_SOUNDG_DEPTH option on, the points become three
dimensional, where the Z
member variable contains the retrieved depth value I guess. Here,
my question is, does this depth
retrieval process take care of any unit conversions (meters,
fathoms, feet, etc.) ?

Yilmaz

[gdal-dev] compiling GDAL with GEOS on Windows

2009-10-01 Thread Yilmaz Arslanoglu
Hi;

I am trying to build and install the GDAL library on Windows XP
using the following commands:

   nmake /f makefile.vc
   nmake /f makefile.vc install
   nmake /f makefile.vc devinstall

In order to build with GEOS support, I uncommented the lines
in the "nmake.opt" as follows:

GEOS_DIR=C:\geos-3.1.1
GEOS_CFLAGS = -I$(GEOS_DIR)/capi -I$(GEOS_DIR)/source/headers -DHAVE_GEOS
GEOS_LIB = $(GEOS_DIR)/source/geos_c_i.lib

However, I still get the same .dll and .lib files as if no GEOS
support was turned on
(the sizes are exactly the same). When I try to call
"OGRGeometry::Contains()" method,
I also get the error:

"ERROR 6: GEOS support not enabled."

What could be wrong?

2) I was also wondering whether OGR library provides a kind of nearest
neighbour finding facilities?
   If not, does anybody know any library that could be integrated with
OGR for this purpose?
   I plan to use it to find the n nearest sounding points (SOUNDG)
given a point, to make a prediction
   about its depth.

3) Finally, is there any facility in OGR for querying a layer such that
it will only return the features on it, which contain a given
point as parameter?
Because I could not come up with an SQL statement to perform this task.
Actually I was planning to use this on the DEPARE (depth area) layer on
an S-57 file to find the depth area polygon that covers the given point.

 Any idea or references about these issues would greatly be appreciated.

Best regards,
Yilmaz

Then do you have an idea how the "intersect" would behave between
a line string and a point? (I would expect TRUE if the point lies on
any of the line string legs,
FALSE otherwise) I'm asking since DEPARE layer may also contain line
string features besides
polygon features. (or shouldn't this happen at all?)

Hi Peter;

Thank you very much for the references. Actually I was considering too
to utilize
the Natural Neighbours concept, not only for nearest neighbour
identification, but also for
interpolating the values attributed to spatial points. I guess this
time a dynamic version of needs to be implemented,
since one needs to adapt the tesellation with the newly inserted query
point at eachnew query.
(assume that I have a set of points with their associated depth
values, and I use this set as
a source of querying new points with unknown depth)

Actually if it is not a problem for you, I would be pleased to see the
code to get a better
understanding about the algorithms involved.

Yilmaz

[gdal-dev] Re: compiling GDAL with GEOS on Windows

2009-10-03 Thread Yilmaz Arslanoglu
Yes Chris, the first one ( "triangle" ) has licensing problems,
and "natgrid" only comes with the NCL. I downloaded NCL source,
but it says that it can only be compiled for Unix environment.

Actually, Dave F. Watson's original code (which natgrid is actually based upon)
seems to do what I need, but all links to the source are inaccessible.
Do you have any
idea how to access this original code? I hope its license is also appropriate.

>As it happens, I need to do something very similar soon, so I'd love to

Sure, I'd be pleased to share results that I obtain and the solutions
that I hopefully
come up with.

Hi Randy;

Did you check that you set the GDAL_DATA configuration correctly?

If it is the case, then here is the previous answer from Frank:

"This might be accomplished by setting the GDAL_DATA configuration
variable either via the environment or the CPLSetConfigOption()
function.  Were you using ogrinfo from an environment like
OSGeo4W or FWTools that sets up the environment carefully?"

And my question was:
-

Hello everybody;

First of all, I would like to say that I am quite new in S-57 format
and GDAL/OGR libraries.

As a starting point, I downloaded the source codes and built the whole
GDAL library on my computer,
using the "nmake" of Visual Studio 2008.

Now:

poDS = OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open( "US5LA24M.000", FALSE );
for (int i = 0; i < poDS->GetLayerCount(); i++)
   printf("layer %d: %s\n", i, poDS->GetLayer(i)->GetLayerDefn()->GetName());

When I try to list the layer names of a datasource with the code snippet above,
I get the following result:

layer 0: DSID
layer 1: Point
layer 2: Line
layer 3: Area
layer 4: Meta

However, the utility application "ogrinfo" gives a quite different
result as follows:
(when run with command  "ogrinfo US5LA24M.000" )

1: DSID (None)
2: ACHARE
3: BCNLAT (Point)
4: BCNSPP (Point)
5: BUISGL
...
...
...
49: M_QUAL (Polygon)
50: C_ASSO (None)

I examined the source code of "ogrinfo" under the "gdal-1.6.2\apps\"
directory, however,
I could not find a difference in terms of listing the layers in the dataset.

What could be the problem, is there a point that I'm missing?

[gdal-dev] efficient querying of land and depth areas

2009-10-13 Thread Yilmaz Arslanoglu
Hello everybody;

I am using the OGR library to extract depth and land areas from
an ENC file (S-57 format).

What I want to do is to query whether a given point is on land
or is on a depth area. For this purpose, I have to call OGRGeometry::Intersects
or OGRGeometry::Contains functions for every polygon feature on one of
these layers.
(similarly, setting the point by  SetSpatialFilter on one of these
layers also does the job)

I tried these and they work quite OK, but unfortunately quite
inefficient at the same time.
Is there anybody who can offer any tips or references about efficient querying?

Best regards,
Yilmaz

[gdal-dev] opening an S-57 dataset directory

2009-10-17 Thread Yilmaz Arslanoglu
Hello everybody;

I was just wondering whether there is a specific directory structure
that needs to be followed
in order to open an S-57 file collection by giving a single directory
path, instead of a file with a .000 extension.

I'm asking because, according to the following statement from OGR IHO
S-57 (ENC) Driver
documentation, we would be able to pass a directory name.

>> An S-57 dataset can be a directory (in which case all S-57 files in the 
>> directory are selected),
>> an S-57 catalog file (in which case all files referred to from the catalog 
>> are selected) or an individual S-57 data file.

However, when I try to open with a directory name using
"OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open", I get an error.

As another question:

>> S-57 update files contain information on how to update a distributed S-57 
>> base data file.
>> The base files normally have the extension .000 while the update files have 
>> extensions like .001, .002 and so on.
>> The S-57 reader will normally read and apply all updates files to the in 
>> memory version of the base file on the fly.
>> The feature data provided to the application therefore includes all the 
>> updates.

So how OGR decides to look for the extension files? Because as far as
I can see, ENC catalogues may come
with different directory structures, where in some of them all update
files accompany the original one in the same directory,
however they may also come in another directory in some others.

Yilmaz

Re: [gdal-dev] opening an S-57 dataset directory

2009-10-19 Thread Yilmaz Arslanoglu
Ok Frank, thank you very much for the answer.

Actually, under the "gdal/frmts/iso8211" directory,
I found the class called "DDFModule" which can open
both individual ENC files (*.000) and ENC catalogue files (*.031)

Now I use this class to open the catalogue file, get the paths of all relevant
files that I need (according to their coverage, since catalogue file
contains this information also),
and only open these files as OGR datasets.

However, if there is no catalogue file, I recursively search the given
directory,
and I need to open (load as OGR dataset) all ENC files that are found, in order
to check their coverages.

Is there a way to check the file coverage without loading the file?
(since I'm dealing with around a hunred of them, this operation takes minutes)

[gdal-dev] GDAL with MFC

2009-10-26 Thread Yilmaz Arslanoglu
Hi all;

Using the GDAL/OGR library, I made a module which extracts the depth points
from the sounding and contour layers of an ENC file.

Everything works perfect if this module is used in a non-MFC project
(btw, projects are compiled with VS 2008) However, when the module is moved
to an MFC-based project, sounding point values (x, y, and z) come as abnormal
values, whereas no problem occurs with the values that come from the
contour layer.

I know that this can possibly originate from different heaps (GDAL dll vs. MFC),
however I wrote the code so that all pointers are created, handled, and finally
destroyed by the GDAL library. Should I not expect a possible heap
corruption problem
here ?

Here, first I insert all features in a vector:

 OGRFeature *poFeature = NULL;
  m_poLayerRef = poDS->GetLayerByName( "SOUNDG" );
  m_poLayerRef->ResetReading();
  std::vector m_features;
  while( (poFeature = m_poLayerRef->GetNextFeature() ) != NULL )
  {
 OGRGeometry *poGeometry = poFeature->GetGeometryRef();
 assert( poGeometry != NULL );

 if ( poGeometry != NULL )
 {
if ( wkbFlatten(poGeometry->getGeometryType())  == wkbPoint)
{
   m_features.push_back(poFeature);
}
else
   OGRFeature::DestroyFeature(poFeature);
 }
 else
OGRFeature::DestroyFeature(poFeature);
  }

 Then, I insert all the points to another structure as follows:

  for (std::vector::iterator it = m_features.begin(); it
!= m_features.end(); it++)
   {
  poFeature = (*it);

  poGeometry = poFeature->GetGeometryRef();
  assert( (poGeometry != NULL) && (
wkbFlatten(poGeometry->getGeometryType()) == wkbPoint ) );
  if ( (poGeometry != NULL) && (
wkbFlatten(poGeometry->getGeometryType()) == wkbPoint ) )
  {
 x = ( ((OGRPoint *)poGeometry)->getX() );
 y = ( ((OGRPoint *)poGeometry)->getY() );
 z = ( ((OGRPoint *)poGeometry)->getZ() );

 depthMap.Insert( x, y, z );
  }
   }


As another question, I do the following simple operation (again in MFC):

 OGRSpatialReference *poSRS = new OGRSpatialReference;
 OGRSpatialReference::DestroySpatialReference(poSRS);

and I get heap corruption error. Do we have another way to create a
spatial reference system object for this purpose?

Yilmaz

[gdal-dev] GDALFillNodata link error

2009-11-23 Thread Yilmaz Arslanoglu
Hi all;

In version 1.6.2 and 1.6.3, the usage of the function
"GDALFillNodata" gives a linker error, since "rasterfill.obj" is not
listed under OBJ
in "Makefile.vc" under "gdal\alg". However, it is listed in the
current development version ( 1.7 )

Does this mean that the function GDALFillNodata is not intended to be
used before 1.7 ?

As another question, is there a way to access somehow the iso8211
functionality ( DDFModule etc. )
via gdal library, or do we need to compile it as a seperate dll ? I
tried to build the makefile under
"gdal\frmts\iso8211" with "iso8211.dll" option, but it gives linker

Hi all;

One of our customer wants to share their data which is in ESRI Shapefile format.
However, they also would like to limit the usage of this data such
that the contents
will be utilized only through our software, and not for any other purposes.

Does anybody have a suggestion about how this could be achieved ?
Does GDAL have any related encryption based support, and is there any
GDAL supported encrypted vector formats that we can convert it into?
