[Geoserver-users] [OT] New user needs general help

Robert_Webb · May 14, 2009, 1:44pm

Sorry for asking this on the GeoServer specific users help, but I did not know where else to ask.

I am new to GIS and have been working with ESRI products because I have to. I am trying to, at home, setup geoserver 1.7.4 to experiment and learn with. I have currently downloaded multiple jpeg2000 images of South Florida and would like to get them into a form I can display in geoserver.

What is the best way to do this? Is there an easy way to setup a coverage while pulling the data from multiple image files or should I create a single mosaic of all my jpg2 files? If the best way is to create the mosaic, could yuo recommend some no cost command line linux tools for doing this easily?

Thanks and look forward to working more with geoserver.

Robert

For tiling and building pyramids, look here http://www.gdal.org/gdal_retile.html

For merging, there gdal_merge.py.

if you want to store your tiles in a database like arcsde, look here
http://docs.geoserver.org/1.7.x/user/tutorials/imagemosiac-jdbc/imagemosaic- jdbc_tutorial.html

Hi Robert,
The new ImageMosaic Geotool’s plugin will automatically build a mosaic from a folder containing several images. (Note that the images should have some similarities in terms of resolution)
Moreover, this plugin leverages on the imageio-ext-gdal plugin which allows to access several type of images (JP2K included).
The ImageMosaic plugin is used within geoserver when you define a new imagemosaic coveragestore from that folder.

Therefore, you should be able to achieve your task.
You need to get the GDAL native libraries from 1 to be deployed on your JDK/bin
Get the GDAL crs definition from 2 to be deployed on your disk. (Set a GDAL_DATA environment folder pointing to that location).

More Info available at 3,4.

Hope this help.
Regards,
Daniele

Ok, I htink I have the GDAL working. When I open up the WCS plugins I am seeing multiple plugins including one called JP2MrSID. I can add a single jp2 file and display it from the demo just fine. However, I cannot figure out how to mosaic multiple jp2 files in a directory automatically using any of the plugins. They are all requiring a specific jp2 file name and will only display that file.

Thanks for the help so far…

Dear Robert,
in order to configure your data as a mosaic, put all of them in a
single directory then configure a mosaic coveragestore that simply
points to that directory, the mosaic should be built automatically.
Let me know about your progresses.

Simone,

Thanks for the help. I did as you requested but still not working. Question though...

Should the url be "file:coverages/Florida/DOQQ/jpeg2000/g16/" or something different. What options are available in place of "file:"?

Here is the error I get:

"Invalid url: 'file:coverages/Florida/DOQQ/jpeg2000/g16/' for format type:'ImageMosaic'.

Thanks again...

You can either use an absolute path to the directory... hmmm
what you used should be correct, thought it's unadvisable.
coverages/... is a configuration directory, don't put data
into it. Better put your data into the data subfolder
of the data directory, something like:
data/Florida/DOQQ/jpeg2000/g16/

and then your url should work fine.
Also, to have mosaic respond to a directory url you need
to use at least GeoServer 1.7.4, thought, for a mosaic of
jpeg2000 images, I would recommend a nightly build, Simone
has fixed a critical performance issue related to
mosaic of few, very big tiles since the 1.7.4 release
(nightly builds are available here:
http://gridlock.openplans.org/geoserver/1.7.x/).
Also, if you manage to configure the mosaic, remember to specify
"512,512" as the suggested tile size, otherwise performance
will be abysmal.

Dear Robert,
I'd add to what aaime said the following.
Can you try to configure, in case you haven't done that yet, a single
jp2 file to check that everything si correctly installed?

Thanks to the both of you. Here is my setup...

Already running 1.7.4, using the setup but picking the JP2K plug in and using the same URL but actually adding a filename works and displays a single file, the location where I have my JP2 files (and now even a couple of MrSID files) is where the sample data is located at "/opt/tomcat-6.0/webapps/geoserver/data/coverages/...".

Not sure what else I am not understanding. Oh, I did make sure that the owner on all the new files is "tomcat" like the rest of the data.

You can either use an absolute path to the directory... hmmm
what you used should be correct, thought it's unadvisable.
coverages/... is a configuration directory, don't put data
into it. Better put your data into the data subfolder
of the data directory, something like:
data/Florida/DOQQ/jpeg2000/g16/

and then your url should work fine.
Also, to have mosaic respond to a directory url you need
to use at least GeoServer 1.7.4, thought, for a mosaic of
jpeg2000 images, I would recommend a nightly build, Simone
has fixed a critical performance issue related to
mosaic of few, very big tiles since the 1.7.4 release
(nightly builds are available here:
http://gridlock.openplans.org/geoserver/1.7.x/).
Also, if you manage to configure the mosaic, remember to specify
"512,512" as the suggested tile size, otherwise performance
will be abysmal.

Ok, I just realized that the proper data folder is "/opt/tomcat-6.0/webapps/geoserver/data/data/..." and not what I put in my previous email. Have a double "data" structure is confusing. Will move the files and try again.

Ok, still not working. Tried the URL as "file:/opt/tomcat-6.0/webapps/geoserver/data/data/jpeg2000/g05/" and "file: data/data/jpeg2000/g05/".

Just a thought... With the mosaic plugin, is it supposed to automatically see that there is some type of raster file and build the mosaic automatically? Or is there supposed to be some other type of file in that directory that tells the plugin what to look for? ie. A definition file with a list of filenames.

I am running the 1.7.4 war file from the website. Sorry for all the issues on this. I think once I can get this working I will be fine for other things. I already have a postgis and MS SQL 2008 data store set up.

Tried your suggestion and I did get the coverage and coverage store setup. However, when I click on the coverage from the demo I do not get anything displayed. Just the bounding box and controls.

I do see seven new files created in the directory. All of them start with g05-sids (which is the directory name) and have the extensions of dbf, fix, prj, properties, qix, shp, shx.

Hi Robert,
can you give us some additional information about the images are you mosaicking?
Do they share some similarities or are you trying to mosaic totally different images? (as an instance: different types, different overviews characteristics, totally different resolution,…)

Let us know.

All images are the same as far as type. They are land images where in each directory they line up next to each other from east to west. They should all have the same characteristics for the most part.

I got them from here: http://data.labins.org/2003/MappingData/DOQQ/doqq_04_utm_sid.cfm

Simone_Giannecchini3 · May 18, 2009, 5:40pm

Dear Robert,
I downloaded some of the data you mentioned and discovered the source
of the problem.
Looks like the erdas plugin which comes from gdal is recognizing the
aux files as valid as valid files while building the index.
I have added some specific exclusions so that they don't get indexed
anymore, therefore, either you try again to build the index but before
you remove them from the dir you are going to point at, or you can get
next nightly build from here:

http://gridlock.openplans.org/geoserver/1.7.x/.

Please, keep me posted.

Simone.

Sorry, I thought I had hit reply to all...

Anyway, I just restarted tomcat and it seems to be working again. I will play around with it some more later. I might even rebuild everything from tomcat up and get a clean system and start over. So please work on the tutorial instead of my problem at the moment. Will probably be tomorrow at this point before I can get back on it again.

Ciao Robert,
please don't fall outside the public mailing list, people may find
solutions to their problems by using the ml history.

Anyway, I am abit puzzled here, I thought you were using the sid
files! I will download a few of the JP2 files and play with them
myself. I warn you that IMHO JP2 support in gdal is far from perfect,
infact we are developing a plugin which directly uses the kakadu libs.
I'd suggest you to try with the sid files, but make sure to set the
suggested tile size to 512,512!
I am going to write up a small tutorial on how to use the mosaic
plugin tomorrow.

Simone.

Thanks for all your help. I completely removed everything from Tomcat in reference to geoserver. Downloaded the new war file and installed. Copied all my jp2 files, this time, over to the data directory, created a coverage store and then a coverage. Found out that I was not hitting the srs lookup at the right time nor doing the envelope creation correctly and finally got everything up and working.

Now, I deleted the test coverage and coveragestore and reorganized the rest of my jp2 raster data so that everything is in one directory and not the different g** directories. I now am going to create a new coverage store to reference all the jp2 files that are in the new directory. When I did, I came back to the invalid URL issue again. I don't know what is going on. Was accepting the directory structure before now it is erroring out again.

When I hit the submit button I get the "Invalid url: 'file:///opt/tomcat-6.0/webapps/geoserver/data/data/coverages/doqq/Florida/JPG2000' for format type:'ImageMosaic'." and only one file gets created in the directory. It is an error.txt file and contains:

This system just does not like me....

I downloaded some of the data you mentioned and discovered the source
of the problem.
Looks like the erdas plugin which comes from gdal is recognizing the
aux files as valid as valid files while building the index.
I have added some specific exclusions so that they don't get indexed
anymore, therefore, either you try again to build the index but before
you remove them from the dir you are going to point at, or you can get
next nightly build from here:

http://gridlock.openplans.org/geoserver/1.7.x/.

Please, keep me posted.

Simone.

Hi Robert,
can you give us some additional information about the images are you
mosaicking?
Do they share some similarities or are you trying to mosaic totally
different images? (as an instance: different types, different overviews
characteristics, totally different resolution,..)

Let us know.
Regards,
Daniele

Shouldn't that be
"file:///opt/tomcat-6.0/webapps/geoserver/data/data/jpeg2000/g05/"?
That's the technically correct format for a file: URL. and it's how I
set up the paths to a bunch of my coverage stores.

Tried your suggestion and I did get the coverage and coverage store setup.
However, when I click on the coverage from the demo I do not get anything
displayed. Just the bounding box and controls.

I do see seven new files created in the directory. All of them start with
g05-sids (which is the directory name) and have the extensions of dbf, fix,
prj, properties, qix, shp, shx.

I am seeing the following on the Catalina.out log:

Ciao Robert,
going to stop working for today in a few mins.
Just to confirm, are you plying with the MrSid files or with the JP2 files?

Anyway, using tomorrow's build should give you a better user
experience since I have done a few modifications.

Simone.

Sorry, I thought I had hit reply to all...

Anyway, I just restarted tomcat and it seems to be working again. I will play around with it some more later. I might even rebuild everything from tomcat up and get a clean system and start over. So please work on the tutorial instead of my problem at the moment. Will probably be tomorrow at this point before I can get back on it again.

Ciao Robert,
please don't fall outside the public mailing list, people may find
solutions to their problems by using the ml history.

Anyway, I am abit puzzled here, I thought you were using the sid
files! I will download a few of the JP2 files and play with them
myself. I warn you that IMHO JP2 support in gdal is far from perfect,
infact we are developing a plugin which directly uses the kakadu libs.
I'd suggest you to try with the sid files, but make sure to set the
suggested tile size to 512,512!
I am going to write up a small tutorial on how to use the mosaic
plugin tomorrow.

Simone.

Thanks for all your help. I completely removed everything from Tomcat in reference to geoserver. Downloaded the new war file and installed. Copied all my jp2 files, this time, over to the data directory, created a coverage store and then a coverage. Found out that I was not hitting the srs lookup at the right time nor doing the envelope creation correctly and finally got everything up and working.

Now, I deleted the test coverage and coveragestore and reorganized the rest of my jp2 raster data so that everything is in one directory and not the different g** directories. I now am going to create a new coverage store to reference all the jp2 files that are in the new directory. When I did, I came back to the invalid URL issue again. I don't know what is going on. Was accepting the directory structure before now it is erroring out again.

When I hit the submit button I get the "Invalid url: 'file:///opt/tomcat-6.0/webapps/geoserver/data/data/coverages/doqq/Florida/JPG2000' for format type:'ImageMosaic'." and only one file gets created in the directory. It is an error.txt file and contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="US-ASCII" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE log SYSTEM "logger.dtd">
<log>
</log>

This system just does not like me....
