GSoC 17: istSOS-Data analysis and statistical tools suite
| This is where I'll be posting information about istSOS-Data analysis and statistical tools suite GSoC 2017 project to the OSGeo community. |
Introduction
istSOS is sensor data management tool that allows collection, maintenance and publishing of monitoring observations using the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Sensor Observation Service (SOS)standard.
OAT(Observation Analysis Tools) can be used as a pre-processor for calibration observations, integrating the creation of observations for calibration directly from sensor time-series. The tool consists in an expandable Python library of processing methods and an interface integrated in the QGIS FREEWAT plug-in which includes a large number of modelling capabilities, data management tools and calibration capacity.
OAT library is an expandable Python library that can easily interact with istSOS.
The goal of my project primarily is to create OAT extension in RESTFull Web api and OAT extension having data analysis and statistical tools for istSOS which will be used to automate the creation of statisticate documents using OAT library and harvesting the data from an istSOS server and then publishing the result on Open Data Portals(CKAN).
Idea
istSOS has gone through a lot of improvements since 2009. This has somehow affected the simplified interaction with measurements and SOS service settings.
The aim of my project primarily is to create OAT extension in RESTFull Web api and OAT extension having data analysis and statistical tools for istSOS which will be used to automate the creation of statisticat documents using OAT library and harvesting the data from an istSOS server and then publishing the result on Open Data Portals(CKAN).

Implementation details
OAT (Observation Analysis Tools)
OAT is designed to facilitate the import, analysis and visualization of time-series data and the use of these data to support model construction and advanced model calibration.
Observation Analysis Tool was developed to enable time-series visualisation, pre-processing of data for model development, and post-processing of model results. Observation Analysis Tool can act as a pre-processor for calibration observations, and will be expanded to incorporate its processing capabilities directly into the calibration process. The tool consists in an expandable Python library and in an interface integrated in the QGIS FREEWAT plug-in which include a large number of modelling capabilities, hydro-chemical data management tools and calibration capacity. The tool has been extensively used and tested in different european institutions, to collect a number of indications to drive the future development.
- The OAT library implements two class:
- 1. Sensor class that is designated to handle time series data and metadata.
- 2. Method class which is designated to represent a processing method.
- OAT takes advantage of the PANDAS (McKinney, 2010),NUMPY and SCIPY (Van der Walt et. al. 2011) packages.
- Most of the currently available OAT.Method objects are based on TSPROC processing capabilities. They enable the analysis of raw data (resampling, regularization, data interpolation, fitting, filling,validation and data quality assessment); decomposition or filtering of timeseries (low, medium, highfrequencies); aggregation and exceedancetime calculation, summary statistics and period statistics,integration and hydrograph separation among others.
