geobeam adds GIS capabilities to your Apache Beam pipelines.
What does geobeam do?
geobeam
enables you to ingest and analyze massive amounts of geospatial data in parallel using Dataflow.
geobeam provides a set of FileBasedSource
classes that make it easy to read, process, and write geospatial data, and provides a set of helpful
Apache Beam transforms and utilities that make it easier to process GIS data in your Dataflow pipelines.
See the Full Documentation for complete API specification.
Requirements
- Apache Beam 2.46+
- Python 3.8+
Note: Make sure the Python version used to run the pipeline matches the version in the built container.
Supported input types
File format | Data type | Geobeam class |
---|---|---|
tiff | raster | RasterBlockSource and RasterPolygonSource |
shp | vector | ShapefileSource |
gdb | vector | GeodatabaseSource |
json | vector | GeoJSONSource |
URL | vector | ESRIServerSource |
Included libraries
geobeam
includes several python modules that allow you to perform a wide variety of operations and analyses on your geospatial data.
Module | Version | Description |
---|---|---|
gdal | 3.5.2 | python bindings for GDAL |
rasterio | 1.3.2 | reads and writes geospatial raster data |
fiona | 1.8.21 | reads and writes geospatial vector data |
shapely | 1.8.4 | manipulation and analysis of geometric objects in the cartesian plane |
esridump | 1.11.0 | read layer from ESRI server |
How to Use
1. Install the module
pip install geobeam
2. Write your pipeline
Write a normal Apache Beam pipeline using one of geobeam
s file sources.
See geobeam/examples
for inspiration.
3. Run
Run locally
python -m geobeam.examples.geotiff_dem \
--gcs_url gs://geobeam/examples/dem-clipped-test.tif \
--dataset examples \
--table dem \
--band_column elev \
--runner DirectRunner \
--temp_location <temp gs://> \
--project <project_id>
Note: Some of the provided examples may take a very long time to run locally...
Run in Dataflow
Write a Dockerfile
This will run in Dataflow as a custom container based on the dataflow-geobeam/base
image.
It is recommended that you publish your own container based on the Dockerfile in this repository and store it in your project's GCR registry.
FROM gcr.io/dataflow-geobeam/base
RUN pip install geobeam
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
# build locally with docker
docker build -t gcr.io/<project_id>/geobeam
docker push gcr.io/<project_id>/geobeam
# or build with Cloud Build
gcloud builds submit --timeout 3600s --worker_machine_type n1-highcpu-8
Start the Dataflow job
# run the geotiff_soilgrid example in dataflow
python -m geobeam.examples.geotiff_soilgrid \
--gcs_url gs://geobeam/examples/AWCh3_M_sl1_250m_ll.tif \
--dataset examples \
--table soilgrid \
--band_column h3 \

Examples
Read Raster as Blocks
def run(options):
from geobeam.io import RasterBlockSource
from geobeam.fn import format_rasterblock_record
with beam.Pipeline(options) as p:
(p | 'ReadRaster' >> beam.io.Read(RasterBlockSource(gcs_url))
| 'FormatRecord' >> beam.Map(format_rasterblock_record)
| 'WriteToBigquery' >> beam.io.WriteToBigQuery('geo.dem'))
Validate and Simplify Shapefile
def run(options):
from geobeam.io import ShapefileSource
from geobeam.fn import make_valid, filter_invalid, format_record
with beam.Pipeline(options) as p:
(p | 'ReadShapefile' >> beam.io.Read(ShapefileSource(gcs_url))
| 'Validate' >> beam.Map(make_valid)
| 'FilterInvalid' >> beam.Filter(filter_invalid)
| 'FormatRecord' >> beam.Map(format_record)
| 'WriteToBigquery' >> beam.io.WriteToBigQuery('geo.parcel'))
See geobeam/examples/
for complete examples.
A number of example pipelines are available in the geobeam/examples/
folder.
To run them in your Google Cloud project, run the included terraform file to set up the Bigquery dataset and tables used by the example pipelines.
Open up Bigquery GeoViz to visualize your data.
Shapefile Example
The National Flood Hazard Layer loaded from a shapefile. Example pipeline at geobeam/examples/shapefile_nfhl.py
Raster Example
The Digital Elevation Model is a high-resolution model of elevation measurements at 1-meter resolution. (Values converted to centimeters). Example pipeline: geobeam/examples/geotiff_dem.py
.
Included Transforms
The geobeam.fn
module includes several Beam Transforms that you can use in your pipelines.
Module | Description |
---|---|
geobeam.fn.make_valid | Attempt to make all geometries valid. |
geobeam.fn.filter_invalid | Filter out invalid geometries that cannot be made valid |
geobeam.fn.format_record | Format the (props, geom) tuple received from a vector source into a dict that can be inserted into the destination table |
geobeam.fn.format_rasterblock_record | Format the output record for blocks read from RasterBlockSource |
geobeam.fn.format_rasterpolygon_record | Format the output record for blocks read from RasterPolygonSource |
Execution parameters
Each FileSource accepts several parameters that you can use to configure how your data is loaded and processed. These can be parsed as pipeline arguments and passed into the respective FileSources as seen in the examples pipelines.
Parameter | Input type | Description | Default | Required? |
---|---|---|---|---|
skip_reproject | All | True to skip reprojection during read | False | No |
in_epsg | All | An EPSG integer to override the input source CRS to reproject from | No | |
in_proj | All | A PROJ string to override the input source CRS | No | |
band_number | Raster | The raster band to read from | 1 | No |
include_nodata | Raster | True to include nodata values | False | No |
return_block_transform | Raster | True to include rasterio transform object with each block to use with geobeam.fn.format_rasterpixel_record | False | No |
layer_name | Vector | Name of layer to read | Yes, for shapefiles | |
gdb_name | Vector | Name of geodatabase directory in a gdb zip archive | Yes, for GDB files |
