Miscellaneous Add-ons

• utm_which_zone.sh is a shell script to determine UTM zone from Lat/Lon input. Requires Octave or Matlab to be installed. A shell-only version is available which only requires awk.
  Authors: Hamish Bowman (Octave part), Markus Neteler (shell script wrapper), Daniel Calvelo (sh+awk version)

• Perl scripts for converting data forth and back between Excel files and PostgreSQL: pg2xls.pl reads data from PostgreSQL and produces an excel workbook; xls2sql.pl reads excel files and outputs SQL statements to be fed into an RDBMS. Both scripts need modules from CPAN, especially Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for xls2sql.pl and Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::FromDB and its dependencies for pg2sql.pl. Check the source headers for more info.
  Authors: Daniel Calvelo (xls2sql.pl), Markus Neteler (pg2xls.pl)

• dbf2sql is a Perl script for translating dbf-tables into a sql-command. dbf-tables are read using dbfdump-command from dbd-xbase-perl module (dbd::xbase and getopt::long have to be installed from CPAN first). There are problems, if the last column of the table contains characters. Suggestions for improvements welcome!
  Author:Wolfgang Qual

• azimuth2.c is a small C program to calculate the azimuth and length of vector lines exported by GRASS-GIS as ASCII files (like this: v.out.ascii input=vector output=ascii format=standard). It is useful for create rose diagrams of lineament maps. Improvements on the original code after suggestions by Örs Téglásy, Hungary.

Author: Stefano Costa

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. screenshot.

Author: Martin Mergili

r.hazard.flood

r.hazard.flood is an implementation of a fast procedure to detect flood prone areas. The exposure to flooding may be delineated by adopting a topographic index (TIm) computed from a DEM. The portion of a basin exposed to flood inundation is generally characterized by a TIm higher than a given threshold, tau. The threshold is automatically determinated from the cellsize. The proposed procedure may help in the delineation of flood prone areas especially in basins with marked topography. The use of the modified topographic index should not be considered as an alternative to standard hydrological-hydraulic simulations for flood mapping, but it may represent a useful and rapid tool for a preliminary delineation of flooding areas in ungauged basins and in areas where expensive and time consuming hydrological-hydraulic simulations are not affordable or economically convenient.

Remark: This is progressively moved to main GRASS SVN (aka GRASS 7)

• r.hydro.CASC2D, ported from GRASS 5.x version, is temporarily here waiting to return to main GRASS.

• r.soiltex2prop creates porosity, Saturated Hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and wetting front pressure head (Hf) from percentage of sand and clay after Rawls et al., 1990. This is a must for r.hydro.CASC2D.

• i.biomass creates biomass growth map from fPAR, lightuse efficiency, water availability (or evap.fraction), Lat, doy and tsw.

• i.dn2ref.l7, r.dn2ref.ast create top of atmosphere reflectance for Landsat 7ETM+ and ASTER. These modules also have a flag for radiance output. Updated i.dn2ref.l7 to read .met calibration file.

• i.dn2full.l[5,7] is an attempt to get all bands of Landsat[5,7] calibrated and corrected to either reflectance or temperature, reads only the .met file.

• i.dn2potrad.l[5,7] is an attempt to get ET potential from DN of Landsat 7 (Careful! No Atmospheric correction!).

• i.eb.* are a set of 10+ GRASS modules that together perform the main functions of the SEBAL model (Bastiaanssen, 1995). Those functions include (but are not limited to) Soil heat flux, sensible heat flux, net radiation, evaporative fraction at satellite overpass, diurnal actual evapotranspiration, momentum roughness length, etc. These modules are also part of any Energy-Balance related processing.

• i.evapo.potrad creates diurnal Potential evapotranspiration assuming all net radiation becomes ET, according to SEBAL model (Bastiaanssen, 1995). This module also has a flag for diurnal net radiation as required by SEBAL in i.eb.eta.

• i.evapo.SENAY creates actual evapotranspiration following the regional method of Senay (2007).

• i.lmf creates a Local Maximum Fitting on the temporal dimension of the multi-date input dataset, working, but more precision still to be added.

• i.vi.mpi is the mpi version of i.vi for cluster GRASS GIS education (no speed up here!) Author: Shamim Akhter

• i.modis.stateqa extracts State Quality Assessment information from Modis 500m (MOD09A) products.

• i.water creates a Water Mask from NDVI and Albedo, or specifically for Modis: NDVI and Band 7.

i.points.auto

This module allows a search of GCP's on two raster-maps with differents levels of automation. The manual search is the default search, so it's possible to determine the GCP's manually with the mouse (like i.points). Semiautomated search: The user determines with the mouse some correspondent areas (with a discrete precision) in the two maps and the module searches itself the GCP's in these areas. Automated search: At the start of module the user has to load the maps that the algorithm uses to the search, so it is recommended to use the maps filtered with the filters DIVERSITY or STDDEV (of GRASS) with a window of 3x3 or 5x5 pixels. However, the algorithm sometimes works well with the original maps too.

Note: This code is basically an improved i.points (from 2004). Subsequent changes in i.points haven's been ported here yet.

svn co https://svn.osgeo.org/grass/grass-addons/imagery/i.points.auto

i.points.reproj

i.points.reproj is a shell script that will use cs2cs to reproject the target coordinates of a group's POINTS file. By running i.rectify directly to the new target projection, a generation of resampling data loss can be avoided (versus i.rectify + r.proj). On the other hand, i.rectify does not calculate cell resolution well if the map is to be rotated (bug #3296), in those cases i.rectify+r.proj may be the better option.

This illumination model represents the cosine of the incident angle, i.e. the angle between the normal to the ground and the sun rays. It can be obtained with r.sun (parameter incidout), and then calculating its cosine with float precision. Correction methods: cosine, minnaert, percent, c-factor.
