InfluxDB is a database for time series data, and I have recently been developing an application for geodetic and geotechnical monitoring around it. My input data is usually in text form. There are several ways to […]
Geopandas is an extension to the powerful Pandas library for Python that adds support for geographic data, including reading and writing ESRI shapefiles, which are one of the most common formats for vector geometry with attribute […]
