Interpolating missing contour lines between existing contour lines

不问归期 提交于 2021-02-19 05:41:47
问题 Contour lines (aka isolines) are curves that trace constant values across a 2D scalar field. For example, in a geographical map you might have contour lines to illustrate the elevation of the terrain by showing where the elevation is constant. In this case, let's store contour lines as lists of points on the map. Suppose you have map that has several contour lines at known elevations, and otherwise you know nothing about the elevations of the map. What algorithm would you use to fill in

Conversion of miles to latitude and longitude degrees using geopy

问题 Background I want to add a model manager function that filters a queryset based on the proximity to coordinates. I found this blog posting with code that is doing precisely what I want. Code The snippet below seems to make use of geopy functions that have since been removed. It coarsely narrows down the queryset by limiting the range of latitude and longitude. # Prune down the set of all locations to something we can quickly check precisely rough_distance = geopy.distance.arc_degrees

What format are ATOC master stations file “Eastings” and “Northings” in?

问题 The Problem I have downloaded the Master Stations Names File from the UK's Rail Delivery group. I'm trying to map the dataset and would like to extract the locations. I tried using pyproj in my Python script, but the results are wrong. The "Eastings" and "Northings" they provide don't seem to fit the National Grid. For example: York station is given as "14596 64517". If these were epsg:27700, they would translate to -7.420284219986337 50.35401717940486, which is somewhere off the coast of

How to check if a coordinate pair (lat,lon) exists in a coordinate grid?

心不动则不痛 提交于 2021-01-28 05:09:37
问题 I have an algorithm that computes shapes using geographic coordinates when certain conditions are satisfied. The algorithm outputs a latitude list and a longitude list like seen below. So lat[0] and lon[0] would represent a coordinate pair. I want to create a boolean array in the shape of a latitude and longitude map where the indices would be true if a corresponding coordinate point exists in the algorithm output. I have the original latitude and longitude information from the netcdf file,

问题 I use Python 3 (I also have Python 2 installed) and I want to extract countries or cities from a short text. For example, text = "I live in Spain" or text = "United States (New York), United Kingdom (London)" . The answer for countries: Spain [United States, United Kingdom] I tried to install geography but I am unable to run pip install geography . I get this error: Collecting geography Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement geography (from versions: ) No matching
