Hello,
I am trying to run r.los using a mask. My work flow is as follows:
1. Draw a vector polygon boundary around the area for which I want to
run r.los.
2. Convert the polygon to a raster mask with a category value of 1
inside the poloygon:
v.to.rast in=viewshed_mask_bnds out=viewshed_mask use=val value=1
3. Use the raster mask to generate a viewshed:
r.los input=project_dem output=viewshed coordinate=313347,3643638
obs_elev=1.75 max_dist=10000 patt_map=viewshed_mask
After r.los finishes processing, I am left with a viewshed that covers
the entire current region - it extends well outside the boundaries of
the mask...
Not sure what I'm doing wrong....
Thanks,
William
