Open Raster Data Analysis
摘要
Raster data represents spatial objects and phenomena with a matrix of pixels. This chapter introduces the concept of raster data model and the functions for processing and analysing raster data. Several typical open-source toolkits and software for raster analysis are presented, including GDAL, Whitebox GAT, Raster Frames, Google Earth Engine, GEE MAP, and Leaf Maps. Exercises are provided with three real-world applications.
