Input values can be expressed in degrees or in radians. Smaller files (<= 25 or <= 50 miles) may be easier to use if only County distances <= 25 or <= 50 miles respectively are needed. Title CEPII's GeoDist Datasets Version 0.1 Description Provides data on countries and their main city or agglomeration and the different distance measures and dummy variables indicating whether two countries are contiguous, share a common language or a colonial relationship. The GEODIST function computes the geodetic distance between any two arbitrary latitude and longitude coordinates. The size of the file increases with the radius. Jean Roth created the SAS, Stata, and CSV distance files to make the data easier to use. The first two digits of the FIPS county codes are FIPS State codes.

Early Indicators of Later Work Levels, Disease and Death County Distances are great-circle distances calculated using the Haversine formula based on internal points in the geographic area. We have calculated and made available different measures of bilateral distances (in kms) available for most countries across the world (225 countries in the current version of the database).Conference on Research in Income and Wealth.Boosting Grant Applications from Faculty at MSIs.Productivity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship.International Finance and Macroeconomics.This approach might seem more complicated than the Solr approach, and if you are sticking to searches in lat/lon of the give me all images matching this attribute within distance d of this point then SOLR will certainly do what you want, but if you want to consider more advanced spatial functionality in the future, and take advantage of other database features, you might want to consider the spatial database approach. The package provides data on countries and their main city or agglomeration and the different distance measures and dummy variables indicating whether two countries are contiguous, share a common language or a colonial relationship. You can so similar things with Oracle and SQL Server (and to a lesser extent with MySQL). The goal of geodist is to provide the same data from GeoDist ready to be used in R (i.e. select * from images where ST_DWithin( point, st_setsrid(st_makepoint(2.1, 41.38), 4326), 5) It also has good full-text search capabilities for the attribute part. Postgres/GIS uses a R-tree index for spatial indexing, which allows for very fast and efficient searches of this nature. As an example from Postgres/Postgis you could use the function, which allows you to search for everything within a distance of some point. Note there is also the geodist function, which allows you to sort by distance, if you wanted to highlight closer things.Īnother approach you could use would be to use a spatial database and store the location data as a point field. You could substitute your attribute for how far away an image can be seen for the d parameter. Unfortunately there seems to be an issue with geodist() that might be caused by the way spring data solr creates spatial query. This document details GeoDists, the CEPIIs distances and geograph-ical database. Where q would be the non-geospatial part of the search, sfield is your location field, pt is the point (which has to be in lat/lon, and is Barcelona in the above example) and d is the distance field. GeoDist makes available the exhaustive set of gravity variables used in Mayer and Zignago (2005). The Solr documentation has an example of using the distance filter that allows you to find anything with distance d of some point, eg, &q=*:*&fq=&pt=41.38,2.18&d=5 Solr has geospatial search capabilities (which have been considerably enhanced recently via the Java Topology Suite library).
