[gdal-dev] VRT KernelFilteredSource and NoDataValue

[Even Rouault]

Selon Belaid MOA <belaid_moa at hotmail.com>:

Belaid,

First, the VRTKernelFilteredSource will only recognize the nodata value if you
set it on the VRTRasterBand (it will not fetch it directly from the
<SourceFilename>)

When a nodata value is set and found in one of the values in a NxN square, the
value will be ignored. The effect of this depends whether normalized="1" is set
on <Kernel> or not. If normalized=1, the sum of the coefficients is not
incremented for that nodata value, so the normalization will operate only on
valid pixel values. If normalized=0, the nodata value is just ignored

As far as what happens in the borders is concerned, the code says that : "Fill
in missing areas.  Note that we replicate the edge valid values out.  We don't
using "mirroring" which might be more suitable for some times of filters.  We
also don't mark these pixels as "nodata" though perhaps we should."

Best regards,

Even
