Available ZOO-Services

ZOO-Project includes some ready-to-use WPS Services based on reliable open source libraries such as such as GDAL, CGAL, GRASS GIS, OrfeoToolbox and SAGA GIS.

ZOO-Services are either developed in C/Python (with minor modifications with respect to the orginal software source code) and stored in the zoo-services svn directory or automatically generated using some of ZOO-Kernel configuration options.

Based on GDAL

Note

GDAL is the Geospatial Data Abstraction Library. Learn more on official website.

Based on CGAL

Note

CGAL is the Computational Geometry Algorithms Library. Learn more on official website.

Name	Description	Language
Cgal_Delaunay	Computes the edges of Delaunay triangulation for a set of data points	C
Ggal_Voronoi	Computes the edges of Voronoi diagram for a set of data points	C

Based on GRASS GIS

Note

GRASS GIS is the Geographic Resources Analysis Support System. Learn more on official website.

Name	Description	Language
Raster modules (r.*)	Most of the GRASS7 vector modules are supported	C
Vector modules (v.*)	Most of the GRASS7 vector modules are supported	C
Imagery modules (i.*)	Most of the GRASS7 iamgery modules are supported	C

GRASS GIS 7 modules can be used as ZOO-Services without any modification using the wps-grass-bridge library. The latter includes useful tools such as GrassXMLtoZCFG.py and ZOOGrassModuleStarter.py for using the supported GRASS modules directly as ZOO-Services. A step-by-step installation guide suited for ZOO-Project is available in the wps-grass-bridge documentation.

Based on Orfeo Toolbox

Note

Orfeo Toolbox is an open source image processing library. Learn more on official website.

Orfeo Toolbox Applications can be used as ZOO-Services without any modification using the Optional Orfeo Toolbox support.

Based on SAGA GIS

Note

SAGA GIS is the System for Automated Geoscientific Analyses. Learn more on official website.
