[Geoserver-users] Watermarking

Kirk_Victor · June 12, 2015, 10:02am

Hi,

I’m currently working with a dataset whose licensing requires a watermark. The watermark is to cover 10% of the rendered image. This data only required when zoomed right in. I couldn’t find a way of doing this in Geoserver so I’ve made a modification to the watermarking to accept a zoom level and a ratio of the tile to resize the watermark logo to.

The dataset in question is Ordinance Survey’s Master Map, so I’m sure other people must face similar watermark restrictions.

Is there a way of doing the above with Geoserver and if not, is there a better way of implementing my changes as a plugin rather than the core? Lastly, if the answer to both of these is no, would such a change be of enough interest to warrant pursuing incorporation into Geoserver’s code base.

Kind Regards,

Vic

Hi Vic,

I know this has come up before, but a quick search isn’t finding it.

Watermarking is fairly easy. The way I did it if memory serves;

Create a shapefile covering the entirety of the UK.
Style the shapefile with the watermark so that only the watermark is visible and somewhat transparent (20%?).
Use the watermark as the “top” layer in a layergroup with any of your OS datasets.

It works quite well and gets included in all outputs, WMTS, WMS, cached or otherwise.

You can see it in action here when you zoom in to 1:5k or closer.

Cheers,

Jonathan

Sorry, I completely forgot to thank you for the reply, it came in just as I was leaving for a few days and I’ve only just got back to looking at this issue.

I’ve tried what you suggested but my interpretation of the licensing requires each tile requires a watermark. The images rendered with this method only contain part of the watermark, or sometime none if the tile size is small enough.

I did look at using a layout (thinking I could add the layout parameter at the proxy server) but I could not see anyway of dynamically setting the size of the logo so it filled 10% of the tile.

Are there other tricks I could use? To summarise the my goal, render a graphic that fills a percentage of the requested tile at a particular zoom level.

Hi Vic,

No problem, you’re quite welcome.

However, while the OS have their faults with regards to overzealous licensing requirements, generally they don’t seem to care if it actually is every tile. Certainly the site we created we made them aware of (they even used it as a case study!) and we used the method as below and it probably doesn’t cover every tile.

Oh yes, be sure to set a max scale so it only appears on OS MasterMap and not all of the other products in your zoom stack.

You can see it in action here (zoom to 1:5000 or closer): http://maps.warwickshire.gov.uk/

Hi Victor,

Its a bit of work but you can make the solution by Jonathan work by creating multiple shapefiles where each shapefile has a shape (watermark) in each tile right bottom. Then set de scale factor for each shapefile according to your tiling and follow jonathans solution.

Hope I made some sense in my terrible English >.<

I’m a java developer primarily and I have made the required changes to my geoserver instance to support what I need, but I added them to the core geoserver watermarking code to take a ratio of the tile size and a zoom level to toggle the watermark on at.

It works well and does the job, my concern was maintaining a separate branch of geoserver. Is this of enough interest to others to include in geoserver? I am however hoping to find the time to turn my code into a plugin rather than having to modify geoserver’s core.

BTW, thanks to everyone for their help and comments.

Kind Regards, Vic

Are there other tricks I could use? To summarise the my goal, render a graphic that fills a percentage of the requested tile at a particular zoom level.

Sponsoring the development of the functionality you need would be a “nice trick”

See the “commercial support” page at geoserver.org
