Sessions
This talk walks through a new algorithm for compressing JSON data, including GeoJSON. The JSON-to-Code algorithm compresses JSON data by converting it using recursive variable assignment into valid code that generates the JSON data. No prior coding experience required as the talk is at a high-level.
GeoRaster Layer for Leaflet is a Leaflet plugin for visualizing GeoTIFFs on a web map. By directly reading the GeoTIFF file data and running all computations client-side in the browser, this library helps you easily put a GeoTIFF on a map without needing to run a server or write a lambda function. This talk will go over some short code examples and use cases. Familiarity with JavaScript is recommended but not required.
GeoBlaze is a blazing fast raster analysis engine written in pure JavaScript. This talk will go over code samples, showing how to use this library to compute statistics for select areas in GeoTIFFs.
This talk introduces mrf, a pure JavaScript package for reading satellite imagery in Meta Raster Format. It can be used both client-side in the browser, server-side, and in a Lambda function. You can view more about the library here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mrf
