GRASS GIS 6.4.svn Reference Manual

Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, commonly referred to as GRASS, is a Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps production, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.

This reference manual details the use of modules distributed with Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS), an open source (GNU GPL'ed), image processing and geographic information system (GIS).

Quick Introduction

imagery commands:
i.atcorr Performs atmospheric correction using the 6S algorithm.
i.cca Canonical components analysis (cca) program for image processing.
i.class Generates spectral signatures for an image by allowing the user to outline regions of interest.
i.cluster Generates spectral signatures for land cover types in an image using a clustering algorithm.
i.fft Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for image processing.
i.fusion.brovey Brovey transform to merge multispectral and high-res panchromatic channels
i.gensig Generates statistics for i.maxlik from raster map layer.
i.gensigset Generate statistics for i.smap from raster map layer.
i.group Creates, edits, and lists groups and subgroups of imagery files.
i.his.rgb Hue-intensity-saturation (his) to red-green-blue (rgb) raster map color transformation function.
i.ifft Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) for image processing.
i.image.mosaic Mosaics up to 4 images and extends colormap; creates map *.mosaic
i.in.spotvgt Import of SPOT VGT NDVI file into a raster map
i.landsat.rgb Auto-balancing of colors for LANDSAT images
i.maxlik Classifies the cell spectral reflectances in imagery data.
i.oif Calculates Optimum-Index-Factor table for LANDSAT TM bands 1-5, & 7
i.ortho.photo Menu driver for the photo imagery programs.
i.pca Principal components analysis (pca) program for image processing.
i.points Mark ground control points on image to be rectified.
i.rectify Rectifies an image by computing a coordinate transformation for each pixel in the image based on the control points
i.rgb.his Red-green-blue (rgb) to hue-intensity-saturation (his) raster map color transformation function
i.smap Performs contextual image classification using sequential maximum a posteriori (SMAP) estimation.
i.spectral displays spectral response at user specified locations in group or images
i.target Targets an imagery group to a GRASS location and mapset.
i.tasscap Tasseled Cap (Kauth Thomas) transformation for LANDSAT-TM data
i.vpoints Set registration points for an imagery group from a vector map or keyboard entry.
i.zc Zero-crossing "edge detection" raster function for image processing.
