Abstract

Free Open Source Software: FOSS based Geographic Information System: GIS for spatial retrievals of appropriate locations for ocean wind and tidal motion utilizing electric power generation plants is proposed. Using scatterometer onboard earth observation satellites, strong wind coastal areas are retrieved with FOSS/GIS of PostgreSQL/GIS. PostGIS has to be modified together with altimeter and scatterometer database. These modification and database creation would be a good reference to the users who would like to create GIS system together with database with FOSS.

Highlights

  • Geographic Information System: GIS is used for exploration and spatial retrieval of appropriate locations and areas

  • GIS can be created with Free Open Source Software: FOSS [2]

  • In order to overcome the aforementioned problems of FOSS 1 based GIS, example of customization of PostgreSQL 2 /GIS (PostGIS 3 ) for the specific purpose of

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Geographic Information System: GIS is used for exploration and spatial retrieval of appropriate locations and areas. Access to the database through php and Mapscript 13 display the retrieval results of the appropriate ocean areas for the ocean energy exploration on the php web browser. These procedures are demonstrated in this paper. The following section describes the proposed PostGIS followed by the data descriptions required for spatial retrievals of appropriate locations for electric power generation plants utilizing ocean energy. As for the well known PostgreSQL/GIS, PostGIS, it is easy to install it on your computer through the following procedure, PostGIS allows store the objects in concern to the GIS (Geographic Information Systems) database. Raster and vector data of maps, meshed data and images through the php web browser
