[OSGeo-Discuss] Creating Value from Raster Data: Thanks

[Landon Blake]

Thank you Noli, Paolo and Ragi for your comments in response to my
inquiry about creating value from raster data. The articles on the GRASS
web page linked to by Noli will provide some good examples for me.

	I'm working on a magazine article for ACSM Bulliten entitled
"Creating
	Value From Raster Data". The target audience will be land
surveyors. I
	was hoping some of the OSGeo guys would be able to help me with
a few
	questions as I do my research for the article:
	
	
	
	-          Are there any open source alternatives to automated
feature
	creation from raster data, such as is possible with ENVI
	(http://www.ittvis.com/ProductServices/ENVI.aspx) ?
	
	-          Does anyone know of research or work being done with
the
	development of open source algorithms and programming libraries
to
	enable automated feature creation from raster data?
	
	-          Can you think of ways to create value from raster
data other
	than extraction of vector features?
	
	
	
	Thanks for any suggestions and information.
	
	
	
	Landon

 

Other people already gave you great suggestions, so I am not repeat
them. As far as research goes, there is plenty being done right now.
Search for Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Image Classification
papers. OpenSource projects that are great at this are OpenCV and libSVM
among many others...
