PostGIS provides support for geographic objects to the PostgreSQL object-relational database and is currently the most popular open source spatial databases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you want to explore the complete range of PostGIS techniques and expose related extensions, then this book is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a comprehensive guide to PostGIS tools and concepts which are required to manage, manipulate, and analyze spatial data in PostGIS. It covers key spatial data manipulation tasks, explaining not only how each task is performed, but also why. It provides practical guidance allowing you to safely take advantage of the advanced technology in PostGIS in order to simplify your spatial database administration tasks. Furthermore, you will learn to take advantage of basic and advanced vector, raster, and routing approaches along with the concepts of data maintenance, optimization, and performance, and will help you to integrate these into a large ecosystem of desktop and web tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end, you will be armed with all the tools and instructions you need to both manage the spatial database system and make better decisions as your project's requirements evolve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat you will learn\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eImport and export geographic data from the PostGIS database using the available tools\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eStructure spatial data using the functionality provided by a combination of PostgreSQL and PostGIS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eWork with a set of PostGIS functions to perform basic and advanced vector analyses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eConnect PostGIS with Python\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eLearn to use programming frameworks around PostGIS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eMaintain, optimize, and fine-tune spatial data for long-term viability\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eExplore the 3D capabilities of PostGIS, including LiDAR point clouds and point clouds derived from Structure from Motion (SfM) techniques\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eDistribute 3D models through the Web using the X3D standard\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eUse PostGIS to develop powerful GIS web applications using Open Geospatial Consortium web standards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eMaster PostGIS Raster\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWho this book is for\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is for developers who need some quick solutions for PostGIS.
