Dear FME Community,

I am currently working on a project that involves a vector point file containing electricity power plants. As part of my quality control process, I need to check if there are any power plants that overlap with the point file.

I am wondering if there is an automatic way to check for this overlap, as there would be two situations, one where point file is overlapping with power plant in satellite imagery, or else it is not. I want to ensure the accuracy of the data and identify any potential errors. We can hover to locations and find it, but can there be something more in an automated way?

I would greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions from the FME community on how to best approach this quality control challenge. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hmmm, It's be pretty hard to determine from a Raster a Power Plant specifically. You could try an use OpenStreetMap vector data to at least check is there is a building there as a first pass - that could find points which are out in a field for example? How many points?
