Contributing Apache Sedona(Raster Dataframes)

Hello All, I am a current graduate student at Arizona State University and wanted to propose raster data frames written in Pyspark that can be incorporated in Apache Sedona to load satellite images and be able to perform various map algebra operations on it. How can I add my constructors as a par

Re: Contributing Apache Sedona(Raster Dataframes)

Hi Shantanu, I'd be interested to know how your work would compare to existing projects which provide raster support in Spark.  LocationTech GeoTrellis has existed for several years and provides that support already.  Also, LocationTech RasterFrames builds on top of GeoTrellis to provide PySpa

Re: Contributing Apache Sedona(Raster Dataframes)

Shantanu, As Jim alludes to, we'd definitely be interested in collaborating over this capability rather than creating competing solutions. There are more technical challenges to solving this problem than people to solve them! RasterFrames already has map algebra ops (an

Re: Contributing Apache Sedona(Raster Dataframes)

Shantanu, It will be a great idea to include GeoTiff capability into Apache Sedona. As for the other libraries mentioned by Jim. In case they plan on pushing their code as part of the Apache Sedona source code, I believe it will not be a good idea for you to push your code. However, in case the de

Re: Contributing Apache Sedona(Raster Dataframes)

Hi Shantanu, First, thanks for your contribution. If your code is implemented in Python, unfortunately, Sedona Python folder currently only has a number of wrappers around our Java JVM objects. The design goal is to make sure that once we implement new APIs in Scala/Java, Sedona Python will be abl
