During my studies in geodesy and surveying, we did a lot of linear algebra computations, as adjustment theory requires matrix computations. Naturally, Matlab was used a lot – although I preferred to stick with C++ most […]
A decent text editor is one of the most important programs on your computer. I use it for coding, for looking at the results of computations, and sometimes simply for taking notes. Since Windows still only […]
Most laser scanners produce point clouds with irregular spacing – surfaces close to the laser scanner are scanned in much more detail than surfaces that are further away. This leads to huge point counts and file […]
For my job I deal with point clouds almost daily – in fact, much of my programming revolves around point clouds and how to extract information from them automatically. This means that it is very important […]
When I was looking for a simple way to publish GIS data on the web, a colleague suggested Leaflet. This is an easy to use Javascript library that is ideal for publishing e.g. the content of […]
So you’ve got 64-bit Windows, lots of RAM, compiled your C# program as 64 bit application, and you still get the message that an object is too large? That’s because there’s a default 2GB limit to […]
One of the data types supported by QGIS are XYZ tiles, i.e. tiled image data in a Pseudo-Mercator projection. By default, QGIS only has OpenStreetMap as tile provider. To do so, you right click on XYZ […]
By default, QGIS asks you which coordinate system to use when a layer that you add does not have a coordinate system mentioned in its metadata. Unfortunately, this is quite often the case, and can become […]
