Geopaparazzi is an application for fast field surveys. Its simplicity and the possibility to use it on as good as any android smartphone makes it a trusty field companion for engineers and geologists, but also for tourists who wish to keep a geodiary and any user that needs to be aware of his position even in offline mode.
In Geopaparazzi it is possible to create text, picture and sketch notes and place them on the map. Notes can also be complex and form based in order to standardize surveys in which many people need to be coordinated.
In the last years the support for the visualization of spatialite vector layers and recently also editing possibilities for spatialite poligonal datasets has been added, allowing for some simple-yet-powerfull possibilities on vector data. Desktop tools are supplied to bring datasets from the GIS environment to Geopaparazzi and back.
The presentation will focus on the most important features of Geopaparazzi as well as the latest additions to the application in order to give a complete idea of the state of the art of the project.
Use case of Disaster Management System by using Geopaparazzi and MapGuide Ope...Hirofumi Hayashi
In recent years, large-scale disasters have occurred in the countries of
Asia including Japan, rapid collection and sharing of disaster information
is required in order to provide relief and support speedy restoration
of civic services. This presentation discusses the integration and customization
of FOSS4G field survey tools and Web GIS server to facilitate
aggregation and rapid sharing of disaster related field information.
Further, the system also provide realtime interaction between field party and
coordination team. A case study of practical use of the system at the Osaka Water
General Service (OWGS) Corporation will be demonstrated to present the salient
features of the system. The main capability of the system usability is normal
as well as disaster situation will be highlighted.
Geopaparazzi: Never Out of Data in the Field
The workshop is dedicated to professionals that needs to collect data from the field and use this information to update or create GIS data, but also to OpenStreetMappers as well as tourists that want to keep a geo-diary. Geopaparazzi is a mobile application for digital field mapping for Android devices developed to support the work of the technicians in the field offering a mapping environment with real time GPS position and a form for structured data collection. The application is easy to use, intuitive and provides just few important functionalities to be used in the field, as for example register GPS tracks and take georeferenced notes and pictures with the possibility to work also off line. The main features available in Geopaparazzi are: - taking georeferenced notes: texts, pictures, sketches and forms - logging GPS tracks - browsing and navigation of the maps and the available data - easy export of the collected data - simple preparation of custom background data. The map view shows the GPS position on the reference background data with the possibility to pan and zoom. From the map view it is possible to add and manage notes and bookmarks and measure distances. Notes and bookmarks can be added directly to the map either in the GPS position or in the center of the map. From a dedicated list view it is possible to visualize, zoom and edit each note. Background data can be personalized using available local data or on-line services with the possibility to use vector offline Mapsforge basemaps, Mbtiles offline databases, TMS (online and offline tiles) and WMS services. Geopaparazzi supports personalized complex forms with combo and check boxes, text fields (that can be constrained to number or string type), pictures (taken using the mobile internal camera) and sketches organized over multiple tabs. The workshop starts with an introduction of the application, installation and main features. Then a short section will be dedicated to the preparation of the input data: background maps and vector layers. Following these sections there is a practical testing of Geopaparazzi outdoor in the field. The last section, back in the room, is dedicated to the export of the collected data to be visualized or used in other GIS environments.
