Title
Performance improvement on a Web Geospatial service for the remote sensing flood-induced crop loss assessment web application using vector tiling
Abstract
The Remote Sensing Flood Crop Loss Assessment (RF-CLASS) is a system of geospatial Web services that provide comprehensive services to decision makers in assessing flood-induced crop loss. It serves a series of vector-based geospatial data. Traditionally, these data are visualized on the Web through a open Web Map Service (WMS) while the geospatial data are kept in either a geo-database or a vector-feature persistent service - Web Feature Service (WFS). The rasterization of vector features for rendering on the Web is often completely on the fly. This approach leads to a significant inferior user experience on visualization of large vector dataset due to the delay on rasterization without pre-calculated pyramids and the loss of rich attributions on each vector feature. The vector tiling technology is adopted to improve the performance. Several technical challenges in optimizing the vector tiling have been identified and studied that are tiling schema, tile boundary, and attribution. Full stack of services (server and client) have been designed, implemented and tested to achieve the best performance on loading speed and attribution.
