[mapserver-users] Classification of RGB png (or tiff) using [red] [green] [blue]

[Tellez-Arenas Agnes]

Dear all,

I am trying to classify a PNG (could be a tiff) which has the 3 bands (red, green, blue), each from 0..255.
I need to classify (not just display it as it is), because I have used those 3 bands to "code" elevation values (it's a hightmap).

I am using a PNG to encode the elevation value on those r,g,b bands, rather than one tiff containing directly the elevation on the pixel, because the size of the PNG is smaller than tiff (and I need to store a big amount of images...).
The formula to "encode" the elevation is
#min=-50, max=1000 ((r * 256 + g + b / 256) *  (Zmax-Zmin)/(65536)) + Zmin*
Which I translated as
CLASS #min=-50, max=1000 ((r * 256 + g + b / 256) *  (Zmax-Zmin)/(65536)) + Zmin*
                                               EXPRESSION ( ((( (red]*256) +[green] +([blue]/256)) * (1050/65536)) - 50) <= 0)
                                               STYLE
                                                               COLOR 100 195 215
                                                               OPACITY 35
                                               END
                               END
But, [red]=[green]=[blue]= the value of the first band (red). Always.

In documentation I can see (http://mapserver.org/mapfile/expressions.html)
For Raster Data<http://mapserver.org/input/raster.html#raster> layers special attributes have been defined that can be used for classification, for example:

  *   [PIXEL] ... will become the pixel value as number
  *   [RED], [GREEN], [BLUE] ... will become the color value for the red, green and blue component in the pixel value, respectively.
And (http://mapserver.org/el/input/raster.html)
There is no need to specify a CLASSITEM. The raw pixel value itself ("[pixel]") and, for paletted images, the red, green and blue color associated with that pixel value ("[red]", "[green]" and "[blue]") are available for use in classifications.

Hope someone can help me on that!
Thanks!
