pkfilterdem(1) Filter digital elevation model raster datasets

SYNOPSIS

pkfilterdem -i input -o output [options] [advanced options]

DESCRIPTION

pkfilterdem can be used to filter digital elevation models. It is typically used after the utility pklas2img(1) to create a digital terrain model. The default filter operation is the progressive morphological filter <http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1202973&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D1202973> .

OPTIONS

-i filename, --input filename
input image
-o filename, --output filename
output classification image
-f filter, --filter filter
post processing filter: vito, etew_min, promorph (progressive morphological filter), open, close).
-dim maxsize, --dim maxsize
maximum filter kernel size
-ot type, --otype type
Data type for output image ({Byte / Int16 / UInt16 / UInt32 / Int32 / Float32 / Float64 / CInt16 / CInt32 / CFloat32 / CFloat64}). Empty string: inherit type from input image
-of format, --oformat format
Output image format (see also gdal_translate(1)).
-ct colortable, --ct colortable
color table (file with 5 columns: id R G B ALFA (0: transparent, 255: solid)). Use none to ommit color table
-nodata value, --nodata value
nodata value
-v level, --verbose level
verbose mode if > 0

Advanced options

-circ, --circular
circular disc kernel for dilation and erosion
-st threshold, --st threshold
slope threshold used for morphological filtering. Use a low values to remove more height objects in flat terrains
-ht threshold, --ht threshold
initial height threshold for progressive morphological filtering. Use low values to remove more height objects. Optionally, a maximum height threshold can be set via a second argument (e.g., -ht 0.2 -ht 2.5 sets an initial threshold at 0.2 m and caps the threshold at 2.5 m).
-minchange number, --minchange number
Stop iterations when no more pixels are changed than this threshold.
