Geospatial Datasets Catalog
Kontur has a variety of geospatial datasets that cover different aspects of social, infrastructure, environmental and climatic parameters.
We have also developed a proprietary Geocint data pipeline that allows us to convert any type of data into hexagonal datasets. This allows us to quickly add new datasets if they are required for a solution or analysis.
Kontur datasets are represented by H3 hexagons with 400m resolution. The reason why we use H3 grid instead of the common square grid is that unlike squares, hexagons have equal distances between a hexagon centerpoint and the centers of neighboring cells. This property greatly simplifies performing analysis and smoothing over gradients.
