Scaling up vector analysis with Dask-GeoPandas

The workshop organised during the GeoPython 2022 together with Joris Van den Bossche introduces the Dask-GeoPandas library and walks you through its key components, allowing you to take a GeoPandas workflow and run it in parallel, out-of-core and even distributed on a remote cluster. Workshop resources are available on Github. Annotation The geospatial Python ecosystem provides a nice set of tools for working with vector data, including Shapely for geometry operations and GeoPandas to work with tabular data (and many other packages for IO, visualization, domain specific processing, …)....

Talk at ISUF 2021: Classifying urban form at a national scale

I had a chance to present our ongoing work on the classification of the (built) environment in Great Britain during the International Seminar on Urban Form 2021, which was held virtually in Glasgow. I was presenting the classification of urban form, one component of Spatial Signatures we’re developing as part of the Urban Grammar AI project together with Dani Arribas-Bel. The video of the presentation is attached below, as well as the abstract....

Spatial Analytics + Data Talk

On March 30, 2021, I had a chance to deliver a talk as part of the Spatial Analytics + Data Seminar Series organised by the University of Newcastle (Rachel Franklin), the University of Bristol (Levi Wolf) and the Alan Turing Institute. The recording of the event is now available on YouTube. Spatial Signatures: Dynamic classification of the built environment This talk introduces the notion of “spatial signatures”, a characterisation of space based on form and function....
