RE: [gdal-dev] satellite photo height data

You might want to look here for the 90m SRTM data of most of the world: http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/SELECTION/inputCoord.asp It was quite slow when I visited it just now, but it's worth persevering. If you want higher resolution data, you will have to look elsewhere. -JD ___

Here's a little Python script I knocked up for just this purpose. # Quick and dirty utility to get the value of a pixel in a georeferenced # image file, given the map coordinates. Uses nearest-neighbour and doesn't # try to do anything clever. # By John Donovan 2010, released into

I've got a slightly older version of the data you're using (OS 10k B&W, but with 2 bits per pixel rather than four), and I've used a two-stage process to achieve what you want. First, I used gdal_translate to expand the image to 8-bit greyscale: gdal_translate -co "TFW=YES" -co "TILED=YES" -expan

RE: [gdal-dev] 4 point, projective warping

2010-08-02 Thread John Donovan
I'd be very interested in a native GDAL implementation of perspective warping. I've done something similar to the work Manuel has done on Qgis, having written an in-house application that uses GSL/CBLAS. So I'd be happy to help where I can, but as Manuel says, writing robust SVD routines is beyond

[gdal-dev] Minor documentation problem

2010-10-05 Thread John Donovan
Hi all, I was just perusing the gdalwarp page on www.gdal.org/gdalwarp.html, when I noticed this tautological sentence: "Mosaicing into an existing output file is supported if the output file already exists." Any idea what it is meant to say? I presume it is something to do with the bounds of an

This isn't quite what you need, but for creating thematic colour schemes, http://colorbrewer2.org/ is a rather neat tool. I suppose it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to interpolate between the colours it generates for a full 256 pallette. -JD From: gdal-dev-b

[gdal-dev] Vertical scaling during warping

2009-02-12 Thread John Donovan
x27;m open to any and all suggestions. The only one I can think of, and I'd rather not do it, is to tell GDAL our format is floating point, and do the scaling manually in IWriteBlock(). But as the format can support floating point values, it would make that code path not as clean as I would like. Rega
