[QGIS-Developer] lack of conflation tools

[Vincent Picavet]

Hi,

Geospatial data conflation is not an easy task, and usually depends on :

- the input data

- desired output

- semantics

- conflation based mainly on semantics( / attribute data ), topology or purely geometric

Note that semantic and topology-based methods are much more robusts than geometry-based ones.

In any case, there is no magic workflow and the method has to be adapted to the specific context.

I contributed to an implementation based on PostGIS quite a long time ago :

https://docplayer.fr/8718145-Appariement-de-graphes-de-reseau-avec-postgis.html ( in french ).

There could be some generic algorithms which could be made available in QGIS processing to ease creation of workflows for conflation ( e.g. node fingerprints, geometry local correspondance search  ).

Get in touch if you are interested in developing some.

Vincent
