⚠️Cavallini: /* Vector Maps */

==GRASS maps from mapfiles==

MapServer needs a mapfile containing the information, how to create the maps. Examples of these can be found, so here you'll find GRASS specific information.

==Raster Maps==

A shor example of a layer definition to access a GRASS raster:

<pre>
LAYER
NAME "Example"
TYPE RASTER
STATUS ON
DATA "/path/to/grassdb/location/mapset/cellhd/example"
CLASS NAME "Example" # You need to have a class definition in the layer
END
END
</pre>

Notes:

* The rasters are limited to values form 0 to 255, the values over this are interpreted as 255. Rescale (<code>r.rescale</code>) your maps when necessary.
* You really need to have a CLASS in your layer, otherwise no data will be shown. An empty class is quite fine to show the whole map.

==Vector Maps==

A short example of a layer definition to access a GRASS vector:

<pre>
LAYER
NAME "Example"
TYPE LINE
STATUS ON
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "/path/to/grassdb/mapset/location/vector/example/head"
DATA "1" # Layer number
CLASS # You need to have a class definition; otherwise nothing is shown on the map
NAME "Example"
COLOR 155 155 0
END
END
</pre>

Notes:

* You need to have GDAL with OGR and GRASS support for this to work. Note, that in this [http://grass.itc.it/start.html example] the maps are first exported to shapefiles. This is no longer necessary, as the maps can be accessed directly with OGR.
* Usually GRASS layers have no names and the layer number is used in DATA. However, it is possible that they do have names. This can happen for example when importing files with v.in.dxf, as the module keeps the dxf-file layer names and stores them into the GRASS vector. The layer names, if such there are, can be found in <tt>/path/to/grassdb/mapset/location/vector/vectorname/dbln</tt>, or with <code>ogrinfo -ro /path/to/grassdb/mapset/location/vector/vectorname/dbln</code>. Why this is so important is because if there are layer names defined, these layers cannot be accessed through the layer number with OGR. They ''have'' to be accessed through the layer name.

==Timeline / Requirements for GRASS project==

* We must list of potential mentors for GRASS work

==Improved Line of Sight Analysis in GRASS==

Line of sight determination is a very important analysis to have available in a GIS. The GRASS module that currently performs this function, r.los, has a number of limitations, including being very slow to run and unable to handle large high-resolution datasets. The task: write a new r.los module based on the paper 'A Fast Algorithm for Approximate Viewshed Computation' published in 'Photogrammetric Engineering & Remote Sensing' July 2003:
http://www.asprs.org/publications/pers/2003journal/july/2003_jul_767-774.pdf
Incorporate features of r.cva (http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~tcrnmar/GIS/r.cva.html), which cannot currently be incorporated in GRASS for licensing reasons, and extend with other functionality as appropriate.

The work will involve familiarisation with the GRASS raster library for reading and writing maps, the GRASS vector library for reading analysis location sites. It is expected that the GRASS directed graph library will also be useful for implementing many features of the algorithm (specifically, determining the crossing points and distances between the cells).

Some hints on what's involved in GRASS programming are available here: http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/grass6/SUBMITTING

; Potential Mentor: Paul Kelly

==A new module which would do line generalization with one of these algorithms==
* Douglas-Peuker algorithm
* Reumann-Witkam algorithm
* Lang simplification algorithm
* Cromley's Hierarchical algorithm
* Boyle's forward-looking smoothing algorithm
The most famous of these is the Douglas-Peuker algorithm.

This work will involve the use of the vector library to read the vector maps to be generalized and writing the new as a new vector map.

; Potential Mentor: Wolf Bergenheim

==A new simulation/optimization algorithm for least cost path==
*A new module which would calculate the shortest path from a starting point to a destination. It would use dijkstra's algorithm do find the shortest path in a weighted network. In other words it would treat a cost surface (generated by r.cost) as a network and then calculate the shortest path. This differs from r.drain in that r.drain is a local function, greedy algorithm, whereas this a focal algorithm, that is it takes not only it's immediate location into account, and finds a global shortest path.

This will involve reading and writing raster maps.

; Potential Mentor: Wolf Bergenheim

==Shortest path in free (vector) space (avoiding obstacles)==
This module would take as input a vector map with polygons. These polygons would be treated as obstacles. It would also take a starting and end point as input. It would output a vector map containing the shortest path in free space (this assumes an equal cost surface). There are 2 different ways to do this calculation:
* by building a "road network" with the help of building trapezoids from each corner point of the obstacles.
OR PREFERABLY
* by building a visibility graph and converting it into a weighted network and running Dijkstra's shortest path on it.

This project will be vector and will also involve the directed graph library when calculating the shortest path.

; Potential Mentor: Wolf Bergenheim

==Further work on r.li==
The r.li module recently entered official GRASS code base. It is meant as a faster and more manageable replacement for r.le for the analysis of landscape ecology and composition. To replace it fully, we need:
* implementation of other indices
* remove the dependency on TclTk, so as to prepare it for the coming python GUI
* further testing and bugfixing

; Potential Mentor: Paolo Cavallini

== Other ideas ==
* better implement PostGIS support (I do not think this is very useful --[[User:Cavallini|Cavallini]] 07:48, 13 March 2007 (CET))
* integrate GDAL as part of GRASS raster library: [http://freegis.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/grass/gips/gip-0002.txt?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup GRASS raster "live links" proposal] (is this somewhat similar to a "r.external" equivalent of v.external? --[[User:Cavallini|Cavallini]] 07:48, 13 March 2007 (CET))
* integrate OGR as part of GRASS vector library
:''please expand, I don't understand what you mean'' -HB Me neither --[[User:Cavallini|Cavallini]] 07:48, 13 March 2007 (CET)

* [http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt v.digatt] (shell script) Interactively assign numeric table attributes to series of vector objects. It is meant to be effective by avoiding to type in the attribute value for all single objects again and again. The user is prompted for typing in an attribute value which is assigned to all objects selected by mouseclick afterwards. Next the display is redrawn after updating the table column. Zooming allows to change the region before the old value can be reused or a new one can be typed in (or copied by mouse from another object) in order to assign it to the next series of objects etc. It is tested not very extensively yet. Therefore better work with a copy of your map and consider using v.digit or d.what.vect -e alternatively. [http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt.png screenshot].

GRASS and MapServer

2006-11-06T07:03:48Z

⚠️Cavallini: /* Vector Maps */

==GRASS maps from mapfiles==

MapServer needs a mapfile containing the information, how to create the maps. Examples of these can be found, so here you'll find GRASS specific information.

==Raster Maps==

A shor example of a layer definition to access a GRASS raster:

<pre>
LAYER
NAME "Example"
TYPE RASTER
STATUS ON
DATA "/path/to/grassdb/location/mapset/cellhd/example"
CLASS NAME "Example" # You need to have a class definition in the layer
END
END
</pre>

Notes:

* The rasters are limited to values form 0 to 255, the values over this are interpreted as 255. Rescale (<code>r.rescale</code>) your maps when necessary.
* You really need to have a CLASS in your layer, otherwise no data will be shown. An empty class is quite fine to show the whole map.

==Vector Maps==

A short example of a layer definition to access a GRASS vector:

<pre>
LAYER
NAME "Example"
TYPE LINE
STATUS ON
CONNECTIONTYPE OGR
CONNECTION "/path/to/grassdb/mapset/location/vector/example/head"
DATA "1" # Layer number
CLASS # You need to have a class definition; otherwise nothing is shown on the map
NAME "Example"
COLOR 155 155 0
END
END
</pre>

Notes:

* You need to have GDAL with OGR and GRASS support for this to work. Note, that in this [http://grass.itc.it/start.html example] the maps are first exported to shapefiles. This is no longer necessary, as the maps can be accessed directly with OGR.
* Usually GRASS layers have no names and the layer number is used in DATA. However, it is possible that they do have names. This can happen for example when importing files with v.in.dxf, as the module keeps the dxf-file layer names and stores them into the GRASS vector. The layer names, if such there are, can be found in <tt>/path/to/grassdb/mapset/location/vector/vectorname/dbln</tt>, or with <code>ogrinfo -ro /path/to/grassdb/mapset/location/vector/vectorname/dbln</code>. Why this is so important is because if there are layer names defined, these layers cannot be accessed through the layer number with OGR. They ''have'' to be accessed through the layer name.
* we have trouble using data associated with vectors: http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1839 ; if someone succeed in this please let us know (--[[User:Cavallini|Cavallini]] 08:03, 6 November 2006 (CET) cavallini@faunalia.it)

It is meant to be effective by avoiding to type in the attribute value for all single objects again and again. The user is prompted for typing in an attribute value which is assigned to all objects selected by mouseclick afterwards. Next the display is redrawn after updating the table column. Zooming allows to change the region before the old value can be reused or a new one can be typed in (or copied by mouse from another object) in order to assign it to the next series of objects etc. It is tested not very extensively yet. Therefore better work with a copy of your map and consider using v.digit or d.what.vect -e alternatively. [http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt.png screenshot].

* [http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt v.digatt] (shell script) Interactively assign numeric table attributes to series of vector objects. It is meant to be effective by avoiding to type in the attribute value for all single objects again and again. The user is prompted for typing in an attribute value which is assigned to all objects selected by mouseclick afterwards. Next the display is redrawn after updating the table column. Zooming allows to change the region before the old value can be reused or a new one can be typed in (or copied by mouse from another object) in order to assign it to the next series of objects etc. It is tested not very extensively yet. Therefore better work with a copy of your map and consider using v.digit or d.what.vect -e alternatively. [http://phygeo7.geo.uni-augsburg.de/gis2/scripts/v.digatt.png screenshot].

===Vector add-ons===

* [http://les-ejk.cz/programs/trees.html v.trees3d] is module for making 3D trees from input vector point file. '''Author:''' Jachym Cepicky

* [http://www.public.asu.edu/~cmbarton/files/grass_scripts/vector/v.lda v.lda] is a shell script for calculating Ian Johnson's (U. Sidney) Local Density Analysis values to measure clustering of point data at different neighborhood radii. There is an option to create a simple line graph of the results. There have been reports of problems creating the line graph on Cygwin installations of GRASS. '''Author:''' Michael Barton

* [http://www.public.asu.edu/~cmbarton/files/grass_scripts/vector/v.append v.append] is a shell script combining two vector files AND their associated attribute tables. The vector files should be of the same type and, for best results, should have identically formatted attribute tables. '''Author:''' Michael Barton

* [http://www.shockfamily.net/cedric/grass/v.group v.group] generates a new vector map with the same geometry as an existing map. The new map has categories and a table based on grouping by the values in certain columns of the existing map's table. The values in these columns are preserved in the table for the new map. It's like a v.reclass that preserves data. '''Author:''' Cedric Shock

* [http://bambi.otago.ac.nz/hamish/grass/v.out.ascii.db v.out.ascii.db] is a shell script for exporting vector point data coordinates and selected attribute columns to either a file or to the console. '''Author:''' Hamish Bowman

* [http://www.fle.czu.cz/~jachym/programs/v.rasterbounds v.rasterbounds] is a shell script for creating polygon-vector file of rasterfile boundaries. The best version of GRASS is 6.1+. If you are using GRASS < 6.1, you have to be in the same mapset as your raster maps are from. '''Author:''' Jachym Cepicky

* [http://www.fle.czu.cz/~jachym/programs/v.3Dtin v.3Dtin] is a shell script for making 3D-vector of the 2D ouput from ''v.delauny''. '''Author:''' Jachym Cepicky

* [http://www.clubwebcanada.ca/twiens/v.sample.buffer.tgz v.sample.buffer] is a shell script that samples rasters in buffers of a specified size around features in a specified vector file. Sampling results are added as attributes to the vector file. This script was designed for sampling vegetation indices and DEM derived attributes for bird point counts. Sampling results can be one or more basic statistics such as mean, range, max, etc. '''Author:''' Trevor Wiens

* [http://www.unipg.it/~ivanm/v.variogram.tar.gz v.variogram] is a script that create an omnidirectional experimental semi-variogram. This scripts require R-statistics software installed on your machine. '''Author:''' Ivan Marchesini, Pierluigi De Rosa

* [http://www.unipg.it/~ivanm/v.krige.tar.gz v.krige] is a script that do a surface interpolation from vector point data by Kriging method.The interpolated value of a cell is determined by using an omnidirectional variogram model fitted starting from model parameter given by user desumed from the experimental semi variogram produced by v.variogram. '''Author:''' Ivan Marchesini, Pierluigi De Rosa

* [http://ngeo.de/grassstuff/v.lmeasure v.lmeasure] and [http://ngeo.de/grassstuff/v.revlmeasure v.revlmeasure] are two perl scripts that place equidistant vector points along a given arbitrary vector line starting from the beginning or end of the vector line, respectively. Resulting vector points are labeled with the distance from origin. '''Author:''' Mats Schuh

* [http://www.fle.czu.cz/~jachym/programs/grass/r.mlv.tgz r.mlv] is Mean of least variance filter for GRASS. It is an edge-preserving (or even edge-enhacing) filter, which should serve for removing additive noise from images. It is written in C language. '''Author:''' Jachym Cepicky

* [http://www.fle.czu.cz/~jachym/programs/grass/r.bilateral.tgz r.bilateral] Bilateral filter is an edge-preserving filter, which combines domain and range filtering. It is written in C language. '''Author:''' Jachym Cepicky

* [http://www.fle.czu.cz/~jachym/programs/zc.pl Zero crossing] is a simple Perl script, finds the ,,zero crossings`` from the Laplacian of Gaussian filter (see above). It is really very simple, the edges don't need to be really on that pixel, where they are detected, no interpolation is performed. '''Author:''' Jachym Cepicky

'''Usage:'''
zc.pl -i input -o output |r.mapcalc

* [http://www.fle.czu.cz/~jachym/programs/local_max.pl Local maxima] is a Perl script for <code>r.mapcalc</code>. It detects local maxima of the image. '''Author:''' Jachym Cepicky

local_maxima.pl -i input -o output -s matrix_size|r.mapcalc

* [http://bambi.otago.ac.nz/hamish/grass/r.out.gmt r.out.gmt] is a GRASS script for exporting a GRASS raster map into a [[http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/gmt/ GMT]] grid file. It also creates a GMT color table from the data and can generate some GMT commands for plotting a postscript file. (code is experimental, but functional) '''Authors:''' Hamish Bowman, Dylan Beaudette

* [http://bambi.otago.ac.nz/hamish/grass/r.pack r.pack] and [http://bambi.otago.ac.nz/hamish/grass/r.unpack r.unpack] are two GRASS scripts for transfering raster maps to another computer as a single file. '''Author:''' Hamish Bowman

* [http://www.shockfamily.net/cedric/grass/r.tileset r.tileset] generates a list of tiles and sizes in a source projection that cover the region in the current database with appropriate resolution. The size of individual tiles can be constrained. Only tiles intersecting the current region are returned. These tilings are appropriate for requesting data from another projection to meet the specifications of the current region. For example, it could be used to generate tile requests to a latitude / longitude WMS server like this <code>r.tileset -w sourceproj="+init=epsg:4326"</code>. '''Author:''' Cedric Shock

* [ftp://gsca.nrcan.gc.ca/outgoing/Patton/Grass/r.csr.tar.gz r.csr] integrates several Grass programs to produce colored, shaded-relief rasters in one step. Accepts single or multiple elevation/bathymetry maps as input; optionally will fill data holidays with 3x3 median filter, multiple times, if required; can apply color maps from a) input raster, b) another raster in MAPSET, or c) from a rules file; otherwise, rainbow colorbar is applied. Output colored, shaded-relief rasters can optionally be exported to tiff format and archived using tar with gzip/bzip2 compression if appropriate flags are given. Shading parameters can be modified, though useful defaults are given. '''Author:''' Eric Patton

* [ftp://gsca.nrcan.gc.ca/outgoing/Patton/Grass/r.fragment.tar.gz r.fragment] fragments a raster into a user-defined set of smaller tiles according to an input number of rows and columns. Optionally, a null value threshold can be set to filter out candidate tiles that would have a large percentage of null cells. '''Author:''' Eric Patton

===General add-ons===

* [http://www.gdf-hannover.de/dassau/g.laptop/g.laptop.sh g.laptop.sh] is an interactive shell script to extract raster and vector data from current Location into a new one. Data can be copied or extracted in current or original resolution and region extend. This script was written to extract smaller parts of a GRASS location to be able to present them on a laptop without the necessity to transfer huge data. Maps do not have to be in the same mapset. '''Author:''' Otto Dassau

* '''''Readline completion''''' for GRASS commands under the bash shell: [http://www.sorokine.info/grass-complete/ grass-complete] won't clutter the environment but needs to be installed; [http://dcalvelo.free.fr/grass/grass_rlcompleter.sh grass_rlcompleter.sh] needs almost no installation but will pollute the environment. '''Author:''' Alexandre Sorokine (grass-complete), Daniel Calvelo (grass_rlcompleter.sh)
