 Hey guys,



 We have DigitalGlobe image strips which come with a *.til file.

 The geotransform of the til and the separate images have a shift of half a
 pixel when opened with GDAL.

 The reason is that in the GDAL TIL driver the coordinates are treated as
 outer pixel edge, where as it seems like they describe the pixel center, at
 least in our cases.

 Does  anyone know of a description for the TIL format to verify if the GDAL
 driver or the TILs from DigitalGlobe are wrong?

 For now we fixed it on our side, but you might consider changing the TIL
 driver to treat the coordinates as pixel center.



 Best Regards,

 Dennis

You can try ogr2gui. I haven't used it tho. Give it a spin and
afterwards if you want you can tell us if its any good.

[gdal-dev] Gdal 2.0 and Python Bindings

2015-02-25 Thread Nick Ves
Hi List,

I am curious about the gdal v2 python bindings state. To be more
specific im wondering if there is going to be any functional wrappings
with an upcoming beta release and if so are there any documentation of
the API or how to migrate exicting code to the new API?

I agree with the significance gdal2tiles. I've used on numerous
occasions and it would a shame to lose it.

On a side note the multitreaded patch [0] was submitted 3 years ago,

 Hi,

 (adding gdal-dev in CC as it is of interest)

 As far as I understand (but I may be wrong as I haven't looked deeply at
 the
 code), maptiler (the open source project) consists of an improved
 gdal2tiles.py + a python gui.
 The duplication between gdal2tiles.py in maptiler and GDAL isn't something
 particularly great. Ideally there should be one single version maintained
 in
 the OSGeo ecosystem.

 So there are several possibilities I can imagine :

 1) Merge maptiler's gdal2tiles enhancements into GDAL version, and make
 maptiler just a GUI over it

 2) Merge maptiler's gdal2tiles enhancements into GDAL version, and also
 import
 the GUI (I think it is lightweight) if there's no too strong build
 complications involved for GDAL. Would have to be checked

 3) Remove gdal2tiles from GDAL so that the reborne maptiler is the
 reference.
 But there are perhaps fixes in GDAL gdal2tiles that should be merged into
 maptiler one (Python3 compatibility comes to mind)

 Any option would need someone to champion it of course...


 IMO, the third option should not be considered at all, since gdal2tiles is
 very important tool in gdal and many people (including me) prefer the script
 from any GUI out there. I have also seen an improved version of this script
 dealing with multiple threads.

 My preference would be option 1.

 Just my 2c :)

 Hi Eli, replying to your email, CC OSGeo-Live list (with your
 permission).

 I agree that we don't want to be promoting a proprietary product from an
 Open Source page.

 I suspect Angelos' subsequent email partially addresses your suggestions:

 On 13/02/2015 10:47 am, Angelos Tzotsos wrote:

 We have also discussed that in order to remove the project, we request
 that there is an official source code repository to link to. This way
 we can prove that the project was open source and can be forked in the
 future. Unfortunately the main repository of the project was recently
 deleted.
 Without this, one can have the impression that OSGeoLive and OSGeo has
 endorsed and distributed proprietary software.

 Also we plan to introduce IceTiler in the next version of OSGeoLive.

 For this OSGeo-Live release we will do what we can achieve within the
 time available.

 Hi Petr, OSGeo-Live team, OSGeo Board,
 Is our OSGeoLive meeting, we discussed retiring of MapTiler from
 OSGeoLive. CCing OSGeo Board in discussion, in case the board wish to
 comment.

 Summary:
 * MapTiler was Open Source, and was included in prior OSGeo-Live
 distributions
 * Petr, the author, found the Open Source business model was not
 working
 for him, and has since moved future enhancements to a proprietary
 model. * The maptiler brand name now points to a URL of a proprietary
 product. * Petr has requested MapTiler be removed from OSGeo-Live.
 * As far as I've noticed, while there has been some disappointment to
 loose MapTiler as an Open Source project, we respect Petr's right to
 continue development using whatever model works for him. We are now
 working out how to cleanly transition.

 Of note:
 * We have prior OSGeo-Live releases and documentation which reference
 the previous Open Source Maptiler.
 * OSGeo-Live wish to retain our reputation of promoting Open Source
 products, both now, and in the past.

 Proposal for our imminent OSGeo-Live 8.5 release:
 * OSGeoLive will add a statement to our contents page [1] stating:
 Maptiler: not included after OSGeo-Live 8.0, after project moved to
 proprietary business model

 Hi all

 I have a set of aerial bird's view images and now I need to get extents of

 I thought to add GCPs to images and possibly somehow to use the same

 algorithm, to calculate coordinates for corners of the original images.


Get the coordinates from you projected Image then you can use the
cs2cs to re-projected those coordinates back to your original CRS

 Is this possible with python?

yes, you can use the pyproj lib

One question though: Whats the difference between gdalUtils and rgdal?

 GDALers:

 I'm working with a colleague on a new set of R wrappers for GDAL, and
 we are at the point where we are starting to document the functions.
 Our R interface is designed to be VERY close to the GDAL command line
 utilities (we use the same parameter names, for instance), so I was
 wondering if it would be ok to use almost word-for-word the GDAL
 documentation of each of the parameters in our package's man files
 (this would save us an inordinate amount of time paraphrasing the docs
 for all of those functions).  If this is ok, how should I cite the
 documentation properly?

 Cheers!  Incidentally, the package is up on R-forge:

Re: [gdal-dev] elevetions from ASTER GDEM V2

2013-01-25 Thread Nick Ves
If the spatial resulution is fine for your problem, then as Tyler
suggested, you can use gdallocationinfo [1] to get the pixel value at
Long,Lat location.

If you think you need to downscale your data to your needs, you can first
built a vrt (virtual dataset) with gdal's gdalbuildvrt [2] and -tr
option.


What I don't know is, which method vrts are using to obtain raster values
when the source rasters are in another resolution than the vrt

 Hi Elias,
 Have you tried the gdallocationinfo command?  You can pass it a lat/lon
 and raster and it will report back what you're after I believe.

 Hope it helps,
