QGIS earns a spot on GIS software map

08-14-2008 08:00 AM
Quantum GIS 0.11.0, released last month, is a free geographic information system (GIS) application released under the GPL that runs on multiple platforms, including Linux. QGIS can read, edit, and export common GIS file formats. After installing it and using it to work with existing data layers available from official data repositories, performing common spatial analysis tasks, and sharing files and data with the commercial GIS products, I found QGIS has the potential to be a viable alternative to proprietary commercial GIS programs from the likes of ESRI and Intergraph/Geomedia.

Hey May be a dumb question Can I use a SPOT which is at 5.3 TL6 to boot an LPAR (with 5.3 TL8) in to maintenance mode? Will it work ? Is it mandatory that SPOT should be of same or higher version in such case? Bala (1 Reply)

does somebody know about SPOT ?? any link about SPOT commands ? i ve made a mistake during configuration, :mad: then i ve started the system in Maintenance mode the only shell was SPOT. :eek: SPOT doesn t understand anything.... how do i work with SPOT ? thanks in advance Karine... :D (1 Reply)

GRASS GIS 6.4.2 Reference Manual
       Geographic Resources Analysis Support System, commonly referred to as GRASS, is a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_informa-
       tion_system">Geographic Information System (GIS) used for geospatial data management and analysis, image processing, graphics/maps  produc-
       tion, spatial modeling, and visualization. GRASS is currently used in academic and commercial settings around the world, as well as by many
       governmental agencies and environmental consulting companies.

       This reference manual details the use of modules distributed with Geographic Resources Analysis Support System (GRASS), an open source (GNU
       GPL'ed), image processing and geographic information system (GIS).  Go back to help overview
       imagery commands:
	    | i.atcorr	   | Performs atmospheric correction using the 6S algorithm.
	    | i.cca   | Canonical components analysis (cca) program for image processing.
	    | i.class	   | Generates spectral signatures for an image by allowing the user to outline regions of interest.
	    | i.cluster    | Generates spectral signatures for land cover types in an image using a clustering algorithm.
	    | i.fft   | Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) for image processing.
	    | i.fusion.brovey	| Brovey transform to merge multispectral and high-res panchromatic channels
	    | i.gensig	   | Generates statistics for i.maxlik from raster map.
	    | i.gensigset  | Generates statistics for i.smap from raster map.
	    | i.group	   | Creates, edits, and lists groups and subgroups of imagery files.
	    | i.his.rgb    | Transforms raster maps from HIS (Hue-Intensity-Saturation) color space to RGB (Red-Green-Blue) color space.
	    | i.ifft  | Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT) for image processing.
	    | i.image.mosaic	| Mosaics up to 4 images and extends colormap; creates map *.mosaic
	    | i.in.spotvgt	| Import of SPOT VGT NDVI file into a raster map
	    | i.landsat.rgb	| Performs auto-balancing of colors for LANDSAT images.
	    | i.maxlik	   | Classifies the cell spectral reflectances in imagery data.
	    | i.oif   | Calculates Optimum-Index-Factor table for LANDSAT TM bands 1-5, & 7
	    | i.ortho.photo	| Menu driver for the photo imagery programs.
	    | i.pca   | Principal components analysis (PCA) for image processing.
	    | i.photo.2image	| Interactively mark fiducial or reseau points on an image.
	    | i.photo.2target	| Creates control points on an image to be ortho-rectified.
	    | i.photo.camera	| Interactively select and modify the imagery group camera reference file.
	    | i.photo.init	| Interactively creates or modifies entries in a camera initial exposure station file for imagery group referenced
       by a sub-block.
	    | i.photo.rectify	| Orthorectifies an image by using the image to photo coordinate transformation matrix.
	    | i.points	   | Mark ground control points on image to be rectified.
	    | i.rectify    | Rectifies an image by computing a coordinate transformation for each pixel in the image based on the control points.
	    | i.rgb.his    | Transforms raster maps from RGB (Red-Green-Blue) color space to HIS (Hue-Intensity-Saturation) color space.
	    | i.smap  | Performs contextual image classification using sequential maximum a posteriori (SMAP) estimation.
	    | i.spectral   | Displays spectral response at user specified locations in group or images.
	    | i.target	   | Targets an imagery group to a GRASS location and mapset.
	    | i.tasscap    | Tasseled Cap (Kauth Thomas) transformation for LANDSAT-TM data
