Siguiendo los procedimientos mostrados en el tutorial, el usuario GEONETCast-Americas estará capacitado a hacer manipulaciones básicas para el desarrollo de sus propias analices. Es muy importante resaltar que los procedimientos vistos en este tutorial no se aplican solamente a los datos transmitidos en GEONETCast-Americas, sino que a cualquier conjunto de datos que tengan los mismos formatos vistos en el tutorial (GeoTIFF, MSG HRIT y SHAPEFILE). 1.1 El software ILWIS La sigla ILWIS significa Integrated Land and Water Information Systems (Sistema de Informaciones Integrado para Tierra y Agua). De acuerdo con [1], es un Sistema de Informaciones Geográficas (GIS) y un programa para aplicaciones de detección remota para el procesamiento de datos raster y vectoriales. El software ILWIS fue inicialmente distribuido y desarrollado por ITC Enschede (International Institute for Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation) de Holanda para el uso de sus investigadores y estudiantes. Desde 1 de julio de 2007, fue lanzado como un software libre sobre los términos de la “GNU General Public License”. Siendo utilizado por más de dos décadas por muchos estudiantes, profesores e investigadores, el software ILWIS es una de las herramientas más amigables para el manoseo de datos raster y vectoriales actualmente disponibles. Ese fue el motivo por lo que este software fue elegido para el desarrollo de este tutorial. Es muy fácil aprenderlo en comparación a otros softwares. En este tutorial vamos a aprender cómo convertir imágenes para el formato acepto por ILWIS, como cambiar la paleta de colores, como crear paletas de colores personalizadas, realizar operaciones matemáticas en una imagen y entre más imágenes, como añadir mapas a la visualización, añadir bordes de latitud y longitud, grillas de referencia y leyendas. El primer paso es la instalación del software. 1.2 Descarga e instalación del software Descargue el software ILWIS en el siguiente enlace directo: http://52north.org/downloads/send/124-ilwis-30803/401-n52ilwisv30803 Página 3 de 87 Manipulación de Productos GEONETCast-Americas utilizando el software ILWIS La figura 1 muestra la página para la descarga del software, encontrada en: http://52north.org/downloads/category/124-ilwis-30803 Fig. 1: Página de descarga del software ILWIS Extraiga el archivo ejecutable “setup.exe” en su directorio local. Siga el procedimiento estándar de instalación en Windows. Al instalarlo usando las opciones estándar, el programa estará localizado en “C:\Program Files (x86)\n52\ILWIS38”.

Nos referiremos a esta carpeta como “carpeta de trabajo” en este tutorial. Info.: Las imágenes como las utilizadas en este tutorial pueden ser recibidas en tiempo casi real a través del sistema GEONETCast-Americas y se localizan en la carpeta “KenCast\Fazzt\incoming\” en su estación de recepción. Descargue las tablas de colores en el siguiente enlace: https://www.dropbox.com/s/4sd6eoaqby8rqe5/Color_Tables.zip?raw=1 Extraiga en archivo “Color_Tables.zip” en la carpeta “system” de ILWIS. Si en la instalación del softwares elegiste la carpeta estándar, la carpeta “system” estará localizada en “C:\Program Files (x86)\n52\ILWIS38\system”. 2.2 Ventana principal del software ILWIS y la carpeta de trabajo Abra el software ILWIS y seleccione la carpeta de trabajo (“C\VLAB”). Puedes encontrarla utilizando el navegador de la ventana principal, o usando la barra de herramientas en la parte superior de la ventana, haciendo clic en el icono [New Catalog] y buscando la carpeta deseada. Al encontrar la carpeta de trabajo, las imágenes no serán mostradas, pues todavía no las importados al formato acepto por ILWIS (ILIWS Raster). La figura 2 muestra la ventana principal del software, donde podemos ver la carpeta de trabajo, la lista de operaciones y la interfaz de línea de comando.

  • AGD Landscape & Environment 6 (2) 2012. 76-92. COMPARISON of the MOST POPULAR OPEN-SOURCE GIS SOFTWARE in the FIELD of LANDS
    AGD Landscape & Environment 6 (2) 2012. 76-92. COMPARISON OF THE MOST POPULAR OPEN-SOURCE GIS SOFTWARE IN THE FIELD OF LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY SZEMÁN ISTVÁN1 1University of Debrecen, Department of Landscape Protection and Environmental Geography, Debrecen, 4032, Egyetem tér 1. E-mail: [email protected] Received 2 March 2012; accepted in revised form 21 December 2012 Abstract GIS (Geographic Information System) software is a very useful tool in modern landscape ecology research. With its help data can be obtained which can - after processing - help to understand and demonstrate the processes taking place in the landscape. Since direct environmental measurements and sampling from a large area are, in many cases, difficult or even impossible, modelling with GIS tools is very important in the workflow of landscape research and landscape analysis. In this article we review the best known open source GIS systems and geographic information tools with possibilities for landscape ecology application. Furthermore we will introduce all the basic concepts that are associated with these open source software programmes. We provide a comparative analysis of the most widely used open source GIS applications, where, through a specific example, we will examine how these tools are used to produce basic landscape metric indicators. We will examine those functions of the programmes that are necessary to produce a complete thematic map, and finally we will emphasize various other important functions of the software to give adequate information for those users who choose open source code GIS tools, for financial reasons or otherwise, to complete a landscape ecology analysis. Our opinion is that this type of comparison is much more informative than those done by proprietary software, because these latter are all based on a basic data library, and therefore yield similar results (proj4, gdal/ogr, jts/geos, etc.) to their ‘paid’ competitors.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Although open source softwares (OSS) for GIS and Remote Sensing are rapidly expanding and im- proving in the global context, there has been uncertainty at higher education institutions in de- veloping countries, such as the department of forestry (Dfo) at Unitech, Papua New Guinea (PNG), regarding appropriate GIS softwares and hardware to acquire and use for teaching and research purposes. The paper briefly describes the characteristics of some mature OSS and discusses their main capabilities, advantages and disadvantages. Their adoption in the Dfo curricula may be ad- vantageous in the long term, considering issues of learning curve steepness, versatibility, afforda- bility, effectiveness, and documentation available on them. Keywords Open Source Software; GIS Software; Forestry Education 1. Introduction GIS is a key technology for developing countries in domains such as environmental protection, urban manage- ment, agricultural production, deforestation mapping, public health assessment, and socioeconomic measure- ments. It is defined as a system of software components that maintain a spatially aware database, provides ana- lytical tools that enable spatial queries of the database, allows the association of locations with imported graphi- cal data, and provides graphical and tabular output.

  • A Selection of Software for Processing Geospatial Data Is Presented in Table 1.1 and Table 1.2. Note That You May Need Some Time
    A selection of software for processing geospatial data is presented in Table 1.1 and Table 1.2. Note that you may need some time to find the best software for a specific task or project. Terminology: Freeware: Freeware (a combination of the words "free" and "software") is software that is available for use at no cost or fee, but usually with one or more restricted usage rights. Compared the FOSS (see below) the source code is usually not published and hence the software can’t be modified and adjusted by 3rd parties. FOSS: Free and open-source software (F/OSS, FOSS) or free/libre/open-source software (FLOSS) is software that is both: 1) free software and 2) open source. It is licensed in the way that users are granted the right to use, copy, study, change, and improve its design through the availability of its source code. Free GIS software Description Terra MA2 (old SISM DEN) is a software product, a computational system, based on a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), which provides the technological infrastructure required to develop operational systems for environmental risks monitoring and alert. TerraMA2 provides services to gather updated data through internet and to add it to the alert system database; services to manipulate/analyze new data in real time and check Terra MA2 if a risk situation exists by comparing with risk maps or a defined model; Monitoring, Analysis and Alert services to execute/edit/create new risk and alert models; services to create www.dpi.inpe.br/terrama2/ and notify alerts to system users; and other basic and advanced services.

  • Software (R+GIS+GE) 2
    3 1 Software (R+GIS+GE) 2 This chapter will introduce you to five main packages that we will later on use in various exercises from 3 chapter 5 to 11: R, SAGA, GRASS, ILWIS and Google Earth (GE). All these are available as open source 4 or as freeware and no licenses are needed to use them. By combining the capabilities of the five software 5 packages we can operationalize preparation, processing and the visualization of the generated maps. In this 6 handbook, ILWIS GIS will be primarily used for basic editing and to process and prepare vector and raster 7 maps; SAGA/GRASS GIS will be used to run analysis on DEMs, but also for geostatistical interpolations; R 8 + packages will be used for various types of statistical and geostatistical analysis, but also for data processing 9 automation; Google Earth will be used for visualization and interpretation of results. 10 In all cases we will use R to control all pro- 11 cesses, so that each exercise will culminate in a sin- 12 gle R script (‘R on top’; Fig. 3.1). In subsequent sec- 13 tion, we will refer to the R + Open Source Desk- 14 top GIS combo of applications that combine geo- Statistical 15 computing graphical and statistical analysis and visualization as 16 R+GIS+GE. 17 GDAL This chapter is meant to serve as a sort of a 18 19 mini-manual that should help you to quickly obtain ground overlays, and install software, take first steps, and start doing time-series KML 20 some initial analysis.
