MapillaryConnector

FME Hub user siennaatsafe just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.The MapillaryConnector custom transformer provides access to Mapillary's API to retrieve geospatially referenced imagery and data for use in FME. This transformer enables automation of street-level imagery analysis and extraction of computer vision features directly into your FME workflows.You can use this transformer to:- Retrieve images captured at or near specific geographic locations.- Access detected objects (e.g., traffic signs, poles, crosswalks) via the Object Detection API.- Extract Map Features for spatial analysis and visualization.WARNINGThis tranformer does not support pagination and may not return all results if the record count exceeds 2000.

DateTimeFilter

FME Hub user alexbiz just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.The DateTimeFilter custom transformer allows you to filter features based on a date/time attribute.It supports multiple filtering modes to test whether an entity’s date value falls before, after, within, or around specified ranges.FunctionalityThe transformer evaluates the value of a selected DateTime attribute (in FME Date/Time format) against user-defined conditions.Depending on the chosen filter type, features are routed to either:Passed: if the feature’s date meets the filter condition. Failed: if the feature’s date does not meet the filter condition. Filter TypesAfter Date: features with dates strictly after the specified date. Before Date: features with dates strictly before the specified date. Between Dates: features with dates between two specified dates (inclusive). From Date + Duration: features with dates occurring after a given start date, for a specified duration (in minutes). Until Date - Duration:

LogNormalizer

FME Hub user alexbiz just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.The LogNormalizer custom transformer is designed to read and normalize log files.It attempts to extract and standardize key information such as the timestamp and severity level, producing structured attributes that can be used for further processing in FME.Originally developed to handle FME Flow log files, it can also be applied to log files from other applications.How It WorksEach input feature triggers the parsing of a log file. Typically, it is combined with the Directory and File Pathnames reader to list all log files within a directory and its subdirectories. The transformer uses different regular expressions to detect:The severity level of each log line The timestamp format When a timestamp is found, it is converted and normalized into both FME and ISO 8601 formats. If no timestamp is detected for a line, the transformer attempts to reuse the timestamp of the previous line and marks it as "unknown".Parameter

DateRangeFilter

FME Hub user alexbiz just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.The DateRangeFilter custom transformer filters features based on a timestamp attribute and a user-defined date range.It is designed to work with attributes containing timestamps in the FME Date/Time format.OverviewEach input feature is evaluated against the specified date range.Features with timestamps inside the range are routed to the Inside output port, while those outside are routed to the Outside port.This transformer is useful for workflows where only a subset of features within a certain time window should be processed.ParametersDateTime Attribute (FME Format) Select the attribute that contains the timestamp to evaluate. The timestamp must be in FME Date/Time format.From The start date of the filtering range. Features with timestamps earlier than this date will be routed to Outside.To The end date of the filtering range. Features with timestamps later than this date will be routed to Outside.Output PortsIn

UUIDv5Generator

FME Hub user alexbiz just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.The UUIDv5Generator is a custom transformer that generates Version 5 Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs) for incoming features.UUID v5 values are generated deterministically based on a given namespace and name, making them consistent for the same input parameters. This transformer is useful for creating reproducible identifiers across datasets, workflows, or systems. ParametersNamespaceType: Choice (Dropdown) Options: DNS → Predefined namespace for DNS names URL → Predefined namespace for URLs OID → Predefined namespace for Object Identifiers X500 → Predefined namespace for X.500 Distinguished Names Custom → Use a user-defined namespace Custom NamespaceType: Text (String) Enabled only if: Namespace = Custom Must contain a valid UUID (format: xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).

OrigoLayerExtractor

FME Hub user andreas_h just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.Origo Config Layer ExtractorSummaryExtracts detailed layer information from an Origo-map configuration JSON file. This transformer is specifically designed to handle Origo's non-standard JSON format, which may include single-line (//) and multi-line (/* ... */) comments, before parsing the layer definitions.GitHubhttps://github.com/origo-mapDetailed DescriptionOrigo map configurations are stored in JSON files that define groups, layers, sources, styles, and more. This transformer simplifies the process of reading these configurations by targeting the layer definitions directly.A key feature of this transformer is its ability to parse JSON files containing comments. Standard JSON parsers will fail on files with // or /* ... */ comments, a common practice in Origo configurations. This transformer pre-processes the file to strip out comments, ensuring robust and error-free parsing.It iterates through all layers defined

DGGSJSONEncoder

FME Hub user daveatsafe just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.Encodes point data into the DGGS JSON schema.A DGGS JSON dataset consists of a top zone whose boundary encompasses all the point data and a full set of subzones one or more zoom levels down from the top zone. Each subzone conatins a single set of values for that location. This is conceptually similar to raster data, where the top zone is the raster extents, and the subzones are the pixels. The transformer will group the source points by subzone and calculate the user's choice of mean, median, minimum or maximum to assign to the value of the subzone.How does it work?The DGGSJSONEncoder uses the open source dggal library to generate the top zone and subzone cells. To install the library, please follow the instructions on Installing Python Packages to FME Form to run the following install:fme python -m pip install dggalThis library provides an interface to the following Discrete Global Grids:GNOSIS Global GridIcosahedr
