How to Create & Publish WMTS(Web Map Tiles Services) in GeoServer. 

తెలుగులో నేర్చుకుందాం


  1. What is WMTS?

A Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) is a standard protocol for serving pre-rendered or run-time computed georeferenced map tiles over the Internet.

A tiled web map, slippy map or tile map (raster or vector) is a map displayed in a browser by seamlessly joining dozens of individually requested image or vector data files over the internet. It is the most popular way to display and navigate maps, replacing other methods such as WMS which typically display a single large image, with arrow buttons to navigate to nearby areas. Google Maps was one of the first major mapping sites to use this technique. The first tiled web maps used raster (image) tiles, before the emergence of vector tiles.

There are several advantages to tiled maps. Each time the user pans, most of the tiles are still relevant, and can be kept displayed, while new tiles are fetched. This greatly improves the user experience, compared to fetching a single map image for the whole viewport. It also allows individual tiles to be pre-computed, a task easy to parallelize. Also, displaying rendered images served from a web server is less computationally demanding than rendering images in the browser, a benefit over technologies such as WFS. The advantage of vector tiles is that each client (browser) can apply a custom style to the map. In such a case the actual map tile pixel is rendered by the browser. An advantage of vector tiles is that the client can decide to rotate the map without all text labels becoming unreadable, as the labels don't rotate.

  2. Vector/Raster Data as WMTS


A Web Map Tile Service (WMTS) is a standard protocol for serving pre-rendered or run-time computed georeferenced map tiles over the Internet.


A WMTS delivers tiles (mostly 256x256 pixel size), while WMS delivers one image per request. Main advantage of tiles is that they can be pre-rendered on the server side, and cached on the client side. This will reduce waiting time for the data and bandwidth. 


Once WMS is created for Vector / Raster, you are likely already have the WMTS for it, but make sure "tile caching" enabled in the layer definition panel.


To check the “Tile catching” enabled or not, please follow the steps;


Click on Layersunder Data. This will bring up the layers page, wherein you can manage existing layers and create new layers.

Figure 77 - Layers Page

Click on Title of the layer to open Edit Layer page

Click on Tile Cachingtab

Figure 78 - Tile Caching

  • Select “Create a cached layer for this layer”
  • Select “Enable tile caching for this layer”
Click on Save 

Follow the same steps as mentioned to create &add WMS/WMTS to QGIS or any GIS software

How to Rename attribute fields in QGIS & How to Rearrange attribute fields in QGIS | తెలుగులో నేర్చుకుందాం

How to Rename attribute fields &  Rearrange attribute fields in QGIS Refactor fields Refactor fields, allows editing the structure of the attribute table of a vector layer. Fields can be modified in their type and name, using a field’s mapping. The original layer is not modified. A new layer is generated, which contains a modified attribute table, according to the provided fields mapping. Refactor layer fields allows to: Change field names and types Add and remove fields Reorder fields Calculate new fields based on expressions Load field list from another layer Add Vector Layer to Layers panel to Drop field(s) Choose Processing → Toolbox → Vector table → Refactor fields Figure 178 - Vector layer with attribute table before Refactor fields Select Input Layer (Ex: Ind_adm1) Select fields to be renamed and reorder (Ex: in the below given example Name_0 has to rename as Name with Length from 75 as 100 and change order of Name_1 under Name_0 [Name after rename] ) Figure 179 - Fi...

What is Survey Of India (SOI) Framework?

What is Survey Of India (SOI) Framework? The Survey of India (SoI) framework is a geospatial reference system used in India for mapping, surveying, and geodetic purposes. The framework is maintained by the Survey of India, which is the national mapping organization of India and the oldest scientific department of the Government of India. The SoI framework is based on the Indian Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) and the Indian National Spatial Reference System (IN-SRS), and is used to determine the location and height of points on the Earth's surface with high accuracy. The framework is also used to define the horizontal and vertical reference systems for mapping and surveying purposes in India. The SoI framework provides a consistent and accurate basis for various geospatial applications, such as land management, urban planning, navigation, disaster management, and environmental monitoring. The framework is also used for the production of topographic maps, cadastral maps, and othe...

Exercise – 15 / How to Create Topology in QGIS తెలుగులో నేర్చుకుందాం

Exercise – 15 /   How to Create Topology in QGIS Topology Creation Topology describes the relationships between points, lines and polygons that represent the features of a geographic region. With the Topology Checker plugin, you can look over your vector files and check the topology with several topology rules. These rules check with spatial relations whether your features ‘Equal’, ‘Contain’, ‘Cover’, are ‘CoveredBy’, ‘Cross’, are ‘Disjoint’, ‘Intersect’, ‘Overlap’, ‘Touch’ or are ‘Within’ each other. It depends on your individual questions which topology rules you apply to your vector data (e.g., normally you won’t accept overshoots in line layers, but if they depict dead-end streets you won’t remove them from your vector layer). QGIS has a built-in topological editing feature, which is great for creating new features without errors. But existing data errors and user-induced errors are hard to find. This plugin helps you find such errors through a list of rules. It is ve...
