Semantic enhancement of Earth Observation data
iTag is a web service for the semantic enhancement of Earth Observation products, i.e. the tagging of products with additional information about the covered area, regarding for example geology, water bodies, land use, population, countries, administrative units or names of major settlements.
See [video capture of itag applied to Pleiades HR and Spot5 images database] (http://vimeo.com/51045597)
Test the service online

The API is available here
iTag installation and deployment is based on docker-compose. It can run on any OS as long as the following software are up and running:
- bash
- psql client
- docker engine
- docker-compose
On first launch, run the following script:
(for production)
./deploy prod
(for development)
./deploy dev
All configuration options are defined within the config.env file.
For a local installation, you can leave it untouched. Otherwise, just make your own configuration. It's self explanatory (send me an email if not ;)
Note that each time you change the configuration file, you should undeploy then redeploy the service.
Note: By default, iTag will create a local postgres docker image. However, it can also uses an external PostgreSQL database (version 11+).
On first deployment, the database is empty. It should be populated once with the following command :
./populateDatabase
Note: The following example are based on the default service endpoint defined in (cf. config.env)
Tag a geometry on Toulouse with "Political" information and all cities with a pretty GeoJSON output
curl "http://localhost:1212/?taggers=political&_pretty=true&geometry=POLYGON((1.350360%2043.532822,1.350360%2043.668522,1.515350%2043.668522,1.515350%2043.532822,1.350360%2043.532822))"
Tag geometry intersecting France, Italy and Switzerland with "Political,Geology,Hydrology,Physical" information.
curl "http://localhost:1212/?taggers=political,geology,hydrology,physical&geometry=POLYGON((6.487426757812523%2045.76081241294796,6.487426757812523%2046.06798615804025,7.80578613281244%2046.06798615804025,7.80578613281244%2045.76081241294796,6.487426757812523%2045.76081241294796))"
Tag geometry intersecting Chile for physical and geology info
curl "http://localhost:1212/?taggers=geology,physical&geometry=POLYGON((-74.39875248739082 -46.84194418662555,-72.14655522176582 -46.84194418662555,-72.14655522176582 -48.19957231818611,-74.39875248739082 -48.19957231818611,-74.39875248739082 -46.84194418662555))&_pretty=1"
./undeploy
Use docker-compose, e.g.:
docker-compose logs -f
Use docker-compose:
# This will build the application server image (i.e. jjrom/itag)
docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml build
# This will build the database server image (i.e. jjrom/itag-database)
docker-compose -f docker-compose-itagdb.yml build
When deployed, all configurations file are stored under .run/config directory
The Landcover and Population data are available separately from this repository. If you need this data, send an email to [email protected]
