[gdal-dev] nearblack troubles [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Pinner, Luke]

Worked for me using the following:

#Change black to white
gdalbuildvrt -srcnodata 0 -vrtnodata 255 to-be-decollared.vrt
to-be-decollared.tif 
#Run nearblack -white 
nearblack -white -o decollared.tif to-be-decollared.vrt

Hi All,

The geotiff here 
(http://www.maphew.com/Itches/Decollaring_with_nearblack) has two 
collars to be removed. The outermost consists of pure black (0,0,0) 
while the innermost is off-white (ranges from 240 thru 255). I used 
gdalsetnull[1] to change 0,0,0 to nodata, then ran `nearblack -white` on

the result. I detect no difference in the output image even with a very 
large fuzz factor (-near 50) .

What am I doing wrong?
