geomcompare 0.1.3

Compare two sets of geometrical/geographical features.

Compare two sets of geometrical/geographical features.

GeomCompare provides multiple tools for comparing two independant sets of geometrical/geographical features. It can be used to identify features with similar geometry/geography (based on pre-defined similarity functions) found in both sets, as well features with geometry/geography that are found in only one of the sets. GeomCompare defines a few similarity functions, but it possible for the user to define its own customized similarity functions.

Requirements

GeomCompare requires Python >= 3.9.

In addition, for a fully fledged installation of GeomCompare and to have access to all functionalities provided by the library, the user need to install the following:

• shapely

• numpy

• psycopg2

• rtree

• pyproj

• gdal (core libraries and Python bindings)

• spatialite

  Note

  mod_spatialite must be installed and accessible from sqlite3:

  import sqlite3
  conn = sqlite3.connect(":memory:")
  conn.enable_load_extension(True)
  conn.load_extension("mod_spatialite")

Installation

PIP

If you use pip, you can install GeomCompare with:

pip install geomcompare
