Developer’s Corner: JAI-Ext, the Open Source replacement for Oracle JAI

Dear Readers, it is our pleasure to introduce a new project developed at GeoSolutions, JAI-EXT. JAI-EXT is a project based on the Java Advanced Imaging (JAI) API, which is a Java framework for high performances image processing. The main feature of JAI is the ability to process image using deferred execution and tiling, which provide high performances when elaborating input data. Anyway JAI is no more supported by its original developers and has a very restricting license. Since in many of our project we heavily rely on JAI (one for all, GeoServer), at GeoSolutions we decided to embarque in this effort with the JAI-EXT project to completely replace...

Color blending and compositing implemented for GeoServer 2.7

Dear Readers, in this post we want to introduce a new mapping ability available in the GeoServer 2.7.x series: color blending and compositing. The notion of color blending and compositing has been borrowed from the SVG specification, and it's commonly available in image manipulation programs such as Gimp/Photoshop, and has been available, with different types of limitations, in open source GIS software MapServer, QGis and Mapnik. GeoServer own implementation is sort of a sum of the above software abilities, in that it provides both Porter-Duff compositing, useful for masking, color blending, great to more naturally blend multiple colored levels, and base compositing layers, very important to...
