🏷️ Labels: Python, Geojson, Dataframe, Optimization, Geospatial, Error Handling
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The primary aim of this session was to enhance geospatial data processing capabilities in Python, focusing on error handling, directory management, and code optimization techniques.

Key Activities

  • Implemented error handling for GeoJSON file creation using gpd.to_file, ensuring necessary directories are created beforehand.
  • Demonstrated directory creation and GeoDataFrame processing using os.makedirs and GeoJSON saving.
  • Explored code optimization techniques for raster file processing, including list comprehensions and efficient data manipulation methods.
  • Provided an overview and usage example of the zonal_stats function from the rasterstats module for raster data analysis.
  • Developed Python code for reprojection of geographic data to the Mollweide projection and visualized population density using zonal statistics.
  • Improved DataFrame operations efficiency in Python, focusing on appending methods, regular expressions, and column selection.
  • Processed DHS geographic variables in a DataFrame, restructuring data for analysis.

Achievements

  • Successfully handled GeoJSON DriverError by ensuring directory existence.
  • Optimized raster file processing and DataFrame operations, enhancing performance and clarity.
  • Applied reprojection techniques and zonal statistics for effective geospatial analysis.

Pending Tasks

  • Further exploration of advanced raster analysis techniques and integration with other geospatial libraries.
  • Continued refinement of DataFrame manipulation techniques for large datasets.
