S-57 data
More to come
Basics
- Import with v.in.ogr
- There is some more info and links on the Export for GpsDrive wiki page
- (see the mailing list posts linked at the end of that page):
Obtaining data
Worldwide
- ...
Cananda
- ...
USA
- Free ENC vector data for the USA from NOAA
- Nice previews / chart picker:
Import
- Use a Lat/lon WGS84 location
- Select "create new location from georeferenced file", using the ENC *.000 file. It's just lat/lon WGS84, so you could create a new location by EPSG code (4326) or by custom entry too. Another automatic way (from within grass) is to use v.in.ogr's location= option.
- Unzip dataset
unzip NOAA_ENCs440569.zip
- test dataset with ogrinfo
ogrinfo --formats | grep S57 ogrinfo ENC_ROOT/US3NY01M/US3NY01M.000
- Try to load and view it with a nice viewer like OpenEV or libS52's s52glx test app
- Import S-57 data into GRASS GIS (grass.osgeo.org) with v.in.ogr
# change default database from DBF to SQLite as it is less lossy db.connect driver=sqlite \ database='$GISDBASE/$LOCATION_NAME/$MAPSET/sqlite.db' # import data (ignore the many string warnings) v.in.ogr dsn=ENC_ROOT/US3NY01M/US3NY01M.000 out=noaa_12300

# e.g. buoys Layer: BOYSPP ogrinfo -ro ENC_ROOT/US3NY01M/US3NY01M.000 | grep BOY 7: BOYLAT (Point) 8: BOYSAW (Point) 9: BOYSPP (Point) d.vect noaa_12300 layer=7 type=point icon=basic/circle \ fcolor=orange size=8 d.vect noaa_12300 layer=8 type=point icon=basic/circle \ fcolor=magenta size=8 d.vect noaa_12300 layer=9 type=point icon=basic/circle \ fcolor=blue size=8
- Set zoom, display layers, colors, line widths, labels, etc. in GRASS
- (this will take some work)
# show everything NUMLAYERS=`v.db.connect -g noaa_12326 | wc -l` for layer in `seq 1 $NUMLAYERS` ; do echo "layer=$layer" d.vect noaa_12326 layer=$layer \ color=$((layer*4)):$((layer*4)):$((layer*4)) \ fcolor=$((layer*4)):$((layer*4)):$((layer*4)) done
- Color and symbology standards: see libS52 from OpenEV contrib/ CVS
- http://www.iho.shom.fr/ECDIS/s52intro.htm
- http://www.iho.shom.fr/publicat/free/files/PresLib_3.3_Addendum_2007.pdf
e.g. fill color for land is 255:200:80 d.vect noaa_12326 attrcol=objnam llayer=24 disp=attr \ layer=24 fcolor=255:200:80
?? For more colors see openev/contrib/S52/doc/C1.lup_collision.txt
Accessing S-52 symbology
S-57 is the data format. The S-52 standard contains the standardized coloring and symbology for electronic navigation charts. We want to view the S-57 data through the lens of the S-52 rules. Some ideas for that:
- GRASS interface: (wishlist prototype) display imported S-57 data (v.in.ogr or v.external) using S-52's coloring and layer-order info. Some environment will be information like lighting level and hull depth (start at 0) will be needed
- View with the OpenEV plugin (functional)
- Create the dataviewer as a QGIS plugin (wishlist user app)
libS52
- GPL library
- housed in OpenEV CVS as contrib/S52/
How to build
- Install build dependencies
- Install OpenGL and X11 -dev packages (X11/Xlib.h and GL/gl.h)
- PROJ.4 for proj_api.h?
- Build it:
make # for s52glx simple test program make default # for libS52
Run simple s52glx test program
- Get ENC data
- Edit s52test.conf with the full path to your ENC chart datafile (*.000 file)
- Run it with ./s52glx and you should see a new window with all layers rendered
- Screenshots
OpenEV S52 plugin
- Copy libS52.so to GDAL's lib directory
- putting the lib in /usr/local/lib seems to work.
- run ldconfig ?
- Configure OpenEV with render plugin support:
CFLAGS='-I/usr/include/gdal' CPPFLAGS='-I/usr/include/gdal' \ ./configure --with-double-geocoord --with-render-plugin make
Test S52 plugin with OpenEV
- Set environment variables
export S57_CSV=/usr/share/gdal export OGR_S57_OPTIONS="LNAM_REFS:ON,UPDATES:ON,\ SPLIT_MULTIPOINT:ON,PRESERVE_EMPTY_NUMBERS:ON,\ RETURN_LINKAGES:ON"
- Using gvtest:
./openev/gvtest -ogr=/path/to/ENC_ROOT/US3NY01M/US3NY01M.000
- Using s52test:
- ("make s52test" won't compile: problem finding S57_ogr*()?)
- (s52test.conf will need ENC path adjusted)
./openev/contrib/S52/s52testdyn
- [??] Using pymod/openev.py:
- (Open .000 file, load all layers)
export PYTHONPATH="/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/gtk-1.2" ./openev/pymod/openev.py
GRASS S-52 interface for rendering S-57 data
- TODO
- build little command line app to output coloring and layer order info which can be fed to d.vect et al?
QGIS S-52 plugin for viewing S-57 data
- TODO
- anyone have ideas?
