# Analysis Tools
|
|
|
|
Aurora GIS provides a comprehensive suite of spatial analysis tools for vector and raster data.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Analysis tools are organized into categories:
|
|
|
|
- **Proximity Analysis**: Buffer, nearest neighbor, distance calculations
|
|
- **Overlay Operations**: Intersect, union, erase, join operations
|
|
- **Spatial Analysis**: Hot spots, outliers, KDE, clustering
|
|
- **Raster Analysis**: Zonal statistics, raster operations
|
|
- **Feature Analysis**: Summarization and aggregation
|
|
|
|
## Vector Analysis Tools

|
|
summarize
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Raster Analysis Tools
|
|
|
|
```{toctree}
|
|
:maxdepth: 2
|
|
|
|
zonal-stats
|
|
raster-histogram
|
|
raster-summary
|
|
raster-profile
|
|
raster-conversion
|
|
raster-comparison
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Running Analysis
|
|
|
|
Analysis tools can be run via:
|
|
|
|
1. **Web Interface**: Use the analysis panels in the map viewer
|
|
2. **API**: Make POST requests to analysis endpoints
|
|
3. **Batch Tools**: Use the batch analysis interface
|
|
|
|
## Background Processing
|
|
|
|
Most analysis operations run as background jobs:
|
|
|
|
1. Analysis request creates a job in the queue
|
|
2. Worker processes the job asynchronously
|
|
3. Results are stored in a new dataset
|
|
4. User is notified when complete
|
|
|
|
## Output Formats
|
|
|
|
Analysis results can be stored as:
|
|
|
|
- **Static Table**: Permanent table with results
|
|
- **View**: Database view that updates with source data
|
|
- **Materialized View**: Materialized view requiring refresh
|
