Spatial operations for Spatial ETL using Talend
Calculate areas or lengths during the integration and transformation process, intersect geometries and create buffers, convex hulls or bounding boxes. GeoSpatial Integration for Talend offers you a wide range of spatial operations. Check whether your geometries are valid, compare them in terms of overlapping, touching, containing or measure the distance between them. Coordinates can also be transformed into points or points into lines. Calculate the geometries while processing data between different coordinate systems.
Includes a wide range of components:
Components for spatial calculations:
| dArea Calculator | This component takes as input a polygon geometry and calculates its area. |
| dCoordinateFetcher | This component retrieves the coordinates of a two-dimensional or a three-dimensional point. In the case of a geographic coordinate system, it retrieves the longitude and latitude. Otherwise, it retrieves the easting and northing values. |
| dLengthCalculator | This component calculates the length of a line or the total length of a polygon’s contour. |
Components developed for data quality optimization:
| dGeometryValidator | This component takes an input geometry and validates it. It returns a boolean value, true if the geometry is valid, otherwise it returns false. |
Components developed for the use of Oracle databases and faster data conversion:
| dGeometrytoOracleObject | This component takes an input flow that contains a geometry column of type DGeometry and converts it to an Oracle geometry of type Object. |
| dOracleObjecttoGeometry | This component takes an Oracle input flow and converts the Oracle object geometry to a DGeometry data type. |
Components developed for the use of PostGIS:
| dGeometryToPostgisObject | This component takes an input flow that contains a geometry column of type DGeometry and converts it to a PostGIS geometry of type Object. |
| dPostgisObjectToGeometry | This component takes a PostgreSQL input flow that contains a geometry object (PostGIS geometry) and converts it to a DGeometry data type. |
Components developed for the use of SpatialLite:
| dSpatiaLiteConnection | This component makes a connection to the specified SpatiaLite database file. |
| dSpatiaLiteInput | This component queries a table with spatial data from a SpatialLite database. It passes the values to the next component via a Main row link. |
| dSpatiaLiteOutput | This component executes the action defined on the SpatiaLite table and/or on the data contained in the table based on the flow coming from the preceding component. |
Components developed for the use of GeoJSON:
| dGeoJSONObjectToGeometry | This component takes a string input flow in GeoJSON format and converts it to a DGeometry data type. |
| dGeometryToGeoJSONObject | This component takes an input flow that contains a geometry column of type DGeometry and converts it to a string in GeoJSON format. |
Components developed for special formats:
| dShapeFileInput | This component queries a shapefile. It passes the values to the next component via a Main row link. |
| dShapeFileOutput | This component writes data to a shapefile based on the flow coming from the preceding component. If the file does not exist, it will be automatically created. If the file exists, the data will be overwritten. |
Special spatial operations:
| dAggregateGeometryRow | This component takes an input flow with geometries of type DGeometry, based on a condition, groups the geometries and executes diverse geometry operations. The following aggregation operations can be executed in the group of geometries: union, envelope, convex hull, creation of lines or polygons from points. |
| dBufferCalculator | This component takes an input geometry of type DGeometry and generates a buffer around it according to the parameters entered in the component. It returns as output a polygon geometry of type DGeometry. |
| dCentroidCalculator | This component takes an input geometry of type DGeometry and calculates its convex hull. A polygon geometry of the type D geometry is returned as output. |
| dConvexHullCalculator | This component takes an input geometry of type DGeometry and calculates its centroid. It returns as output a point geometry of type DGeometry. |
| dEnvelopeCalculator | This component takes an input geometry of type DGeometry and calculates its bounding box. It returns as output a polygon geometry of type DGeometry. |
| dIntersection | This component takes two geometries of type DGeometry and intersects them. The result is the intersecting geometry of type DGeometry. |
| dPointFromCoordinates | This component takes the given coordinates and coordinate reference system, and creates a point geometry. The result is of type DGeometry. |
| dProject | This component transforms the input geometry from an input coordinate reference system to a given output coordinate reference system. The output is the transformed geometry of type DGeometry. |
Component input:
| dGeomTxtInput | This component generates a geometry of type DGeometry based on an input WKT string entered directly in the component. |
