How to display image from SQLite database at each point? (QGIS)

Question

How do I display images at specific points, through the raster image marker symbology, from a standalone BLOB attribute table (SQLite) loaded into QGIS?

To briefly summarise: I have loaded a SQLite database and a geopackage database into QGIS. This geopackage database contains points spread over all of Denmark, containing information like GNSS station names, gps nr, coordinates, height measurements etc.

Then, as a supplement to these points, I have this SQLite database that contains images tied to each point. The SQLite database loads in fine, and can join layers with the geopackage database. But I can't seem to figure out how to display the images tied to each point.

So far, I've managed to display a custom image that I loaded down from Google at each point, through the raster image marker, roughly following this guide: Guide to adding pictures through raster image marker

But I want to load the images from the database (geo_ref skitse) that has unique images tied to each point instead, which is a bit more tricky.

I have made 2 screendumps of how my situation looks as of now, if that is of any help.

Answer 1

It's very easy with the help of the Expression String builder. See my example, where I use the following expression to display the PNG images from my Geopackage table "images":

'base64:'||to_base64( attribute(get_feature( 'images','name',concat( 'Wappen_',"bl")),'image'))

Answer 2

To use Raster image markers:

Choose Single Symbol Change Symbol label type from Simple marker to Raster image marker Use a Data-defined override for the file location Field type: string → photo (string)

I snagged this from here: https://bnhr.xyz/2019/09/22/geotagged-photos-in-qgis.html
