    Sneak Peak QGIS 2.6

    Lurker
    By Lurker,
    Independent Grid (Print Composer)       Grids in the print composer can now be added independent of the projection of the map, and you can add as many grids you could possibly want.   Colour Picker       The standard colours can be edited in the settings ( Settings – Options ). Not only can you add and remove colours, you can also name them to your content. Your personal standard colours can then be shared by import/export functions (GIMP Palette *.gpl).   Python Parser    

    Select stream network within a fixed distance from a point

    weeberm
    By weeberm,
    Is there a tool out there that would allow me to select a portion of stream network that is within a fixed distance from a specific point on that network? I want to be able to select all portions of my stream network that are within 4 "steam miles" (not euclidean distance) of that point, both upstream and downsteam. So far I've manually selected the portions of stream within 4 miles, but it is time consumning and cumbersome. Is there a tool to automate this process, as I have upward of 40 differ

    New global marine gravity model from CryoSat-2 and Jason-1 reveals buried tectonic structure

    Lurker
    By Lurker,
    Gravity models are powerful tools for mapping tectonic structures, especially in the deep ocean basins where the topography remains unmapped by ships or is buried by thicksediment. We combined new radar altimeter measurements from satellites CryoSat-2 and Jason-1 with existing data to construct a global marine gravity model that is two times more accurate than previous models. We found an extinct spreading ridge in the Gulf of Mexico, a major propagating rift in the South Atlantic Ocean, abyssal

    looking for someone to provide advice on topo GPS map project

    RCinSTP
    By RCinSTP,
    I have some digital map data and I would like to create a topographic map for GPS handheld.  I am looking for someone I can email, skype or phone to ask a lot of general questions.  I can pay for your time.  I have a set of hundreds of .jpg image files from an online topo map.  The .jpgs are 256x256 pixels and the names relate to the x, y coordinates on the map.  The image tiles are not geo-referenced.  I also have some .gdb files that I can't seem to open with GIS software.  I am in the Minneap

    Determing the south west grid grid cell of topo srtm data

    winash12
    By winash12,
    Hello,             GIS newbie here. Please feel free to bump  my question into the right sub forum if it does not fit in here. If I choose Eurasia as my grid from here - http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/version2_1/Documentation/Continent_def.gif how to determine the grid cell that represents the south west direction i.e. south of the southern most point AND west of the western most point. Is this done by human inspection(trial and error) or some algorithm there than do it ?

    • Sometimes you need to create a satellite navigation tracking device that communicates via a low-power mesh network. [Powerfeatherdev] was in just that situation, and they whipped up a particularly compact solution to do the job. As you might have guessed based on the name of its creator, this build is based around the ESP32-S3 PowerFeather board. The PowerFeather has the benefit of robust power management features, which makes it perfect for a power-sipping project that’s intended to run for a long time. It can even run on solar power and manage battery levels if so desired. The GPS and LoRa gear is all mounted on a secondary “wing” PCB that slots directly on to the PowerFeather like a Arduino shield or Raspberry Pi HAT. The whole assembly is barely larger than a AA battery. It’s basically a super-small GPS tracker that transmits over LoRa, while being optimized for maximum run time on limited power from a small lithium-ion cell. If you’re needing to do some long-duration, low-power tracking task for a project, this might be right up your alley. https://hackaday.com/2024/10/17/tiny-lora-gps-node-relies-on-esp32/
    • Multiple motors or servos are the norm for drones to achieve controllable flight, but a team from MARS LAB HKU was able to a 360° lidar scanning drone with full control on just a single motor and no additional actuators. Video after the break. The key to controllable flight is the swashplateless propeller design that we’ve seen a few times, but it always required a second propeller to counteract self-rotation. In this case, the team was able to make that self-rotation work so that they could achieve 360° scanning with a single fixed LIDAR sensor. Self-rotation still needs to be slowed, so this was done with four stationary vanes. The single rotor also means better efficiency compared to a multi-rotor with similar propeller disk area. The LIDAR comprises a full 50% of the drone’s weight and provides a conical FOV out to a range of 450m. All processing happens onboard the drone, with point cloud data being processed by a LIDAR-inertial odometry framework. This allows the drone to track and plan its flight path while also building a 3D map of an unknown environment. This means it would be extremely useful for indoor or underground environments where GPS or other positioning systems are not available. All the design files and code for the drone are up on GitHub, and most of the electronic components are off-the-shelf. This means you can build your own, and the expensive lidar sensor is not required to get it flying. This seems like a great platform for further experimentation, and getting usable video from a normal camera would be an interesting challenge.   Single Rotor Drone Spins For 360 Lidar Scanning | Hackaday
    • The fall update to Global Mapper includes numerous usability updates, processing improvements, and with Pro, beta access to the Global Mapper Insight and Learning Engine which contains deep learning-based image analysis tools. Global Mapper is a complete geospatial software solution. The Standard version excels at basic vector, raster, and terrain editing, with Global Mapper Pro expanding the toolset to support drone-collected image processing, point cloud classification and extraction, and many more advanced image and terrain analysis options. Version 26.0 of Global Mapper Standard focuses on ease-of-use updates to improve the experience and efficiency of the software. A Global Search acts as a toolbox to locate any tool within the program, and a source search in the online data streaming tool makes it easier to bring online data into the application. Updates for working with 3D data include construction site planning to keep all edited terrain for a flattened site within a selected area and the ability to finely adjust the vertex position of 3D lines in reference to terrain in the Path Profile tool. Perhaps the largest addition to Global Mapper Pro v26.0 is the availability of the new Insight and Learning Engine which provides deep learning-based image analysis. Available with Global Mapper Pro for a limited time for users to test and explore, users can leverage built-in models for building extraction, vehicle detection, or land cover classification. These models can even be fine-tuned with iterative training to optimize the analysis for the data area.
