Re: [Qgis-user] What QGIS plugin development should I work on this year?

[Gabriel De Luca via QGIS-User]

Case 1) would be welcome.

I do a little manually that transformation. I convert the values of
latitude, longitude and ellipsoidal height to geocentric Cartesian
coordinates. Then I find the transformation parameters between the local
system and the geocentric one.

The transformation pipeline is then made up of: a 3D affine transformation
from the local to the geocentric system, the conversion from the geocentric
to the geodetic or geographic system, and finally the projection to some
cartographic system (usually a custom one, but can be projected to any).

The geoscience plugin, on the other hand, is based on the construction of a
derived from a projected reference system. In other words, it calculates
the affine transformation parameters in 2D between a local system and a
projected one and uses them in the construction of a new derived system. The
derived from projected CRS is only compatible with the WKT2:2019 version,
and that limits it in some GDAL and QGIS functions.

I collaborated with the author in the construction of the WKT for derived
from projected CRSes and the calculation of parameters is done with a
script that I had written when I began to need to carry out this type of
transformation. It only requires numpy and is very efficient at finding
transformation parameters. The algorithm on which it is based is not mine.

You can use the script if you consider it convenient, I published it with a
MIT license at https://github.com/gabriel-de-luca/simil.

Re: [Qgis-user] [EXTERNAL] Re: Geopackage slow on NAS if not read-only

[Gabriel De Luca via QGIS-User]

Hi Árni,

You can try setting the SQLITE_USE_OGR_VFS=YES configuration option, as
mentioned at https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/27899.
Be sure to read the implications of changing the default (NO) option:
https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/sqlite.html#configuration-options
You can change the config option in a environment variable or a config
file: https://gdal.org/user/configoptions.html#configuration-options

Gabriel

Re: [Qgis-user] python code generated during georeferencing in QGIS

[Gabriel De Luca via QGIS-User]

Hi,

  QGIS georeferencing is made in C++, so i think you can't get its workflow
in the Python console.
  You can see the code of the georeferencer in:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/tree/master/src/app/georeferencer

Gabriel

Re: [Qgis-user] Planetary (Venus) coordinate reference systems

[Gabriel De Luca via QGIS-User]

Hi,

  I think that it is the main canvas trying to reproject all layers to a
common (but not related to any Earth's) CRS.  As if the datum
transformations between these systems were not defined, and the absence of
the WGS-84 pivot was insurmountable.

  In my opinion, the most convenient thing to do is to disable the
"on-the-fly" projection of the main map. In the project properties, CRS
tab, checking the option: "No CRS (or unknown/non-Earth projection)".

  In this way, the canvas becomes a kind of "universal-unitless 2D
Cartesian system". All the geometries of the layers will be displayed in
the coordinates that are stored in their vertices, and the rasters
according to their matrices of geotransform. In fact, it can contribute to
a better understanding of coordinate reference systems.

  The only things that are disabled are on-the-fly reprojection on the main
map and maybe ellipsoidal measurements. All other functionalities must be
available.


Regards,
Gabriel
