Happy to have finally completed the development of the #GDAL IHO S-101 (ENC) reader for the newer generation of navigation charts, including update files. That was quite a ride! https://gdal.org/en/latest/drivers/vector/s101.html

today has been entirely about IsRegularlySpaced() and GuessGeoTransform() - quite superior both of them to ahem **downstream pretenders** ... that inspired me this morning to pick this up again #GDAL #multidim

Running a large Open Source project is tough and expensive, good to see GDAL v3.13.0+ calling out Cloud Providers who profit off gdal, but no longer support the project: https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/pull/14313 #OpenSource #GDAL #AWS #Azure

GDAL can fix invalid geometries in a few different ways, depending on what you want to preserve. The main options are a “linework” approach that sticks closely to the original input, and a “structure” approach that prioritises clean, valid polygons 🛠️

Since GDAL 3.12, you can also run this directly from the command line with `gdal vector make-valid`.

@kevin the theory says you can get the object's id, from there download any version it's useful (the site provides a link to a OSM XML version), use #GDAL to convert to a projection that is locally good enough so there are not much distortion (WebMercator and LatLon are not good), hopefully one that uses meters as unit, then calculate the surface as any polygon.

The Devil is in the details, tho.
