GDAL-RASTER-TRI(1) GDAL GDAL-RASTER-TRI(1) NAME gdal-raster-tri - Generate a Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI) map Added in version 3.11. SYNOPSIS Usage: gdal raster tri [OPTIONS] <INPUT> <OUTPUT> Generate a Terrain Ruggedness Index (TRI) map Positional arguments: -i, --input <INPUT> Input raster dataset [required] -o, --output <OUTPUT> Output raster dataset [required] Common Options: -h, --help Display help message and exit --json-usage Display usage as JSON document and exit --config <KEY>=<VALUE> Configuration option [may be repeated] --progress Display progress bar Options: -f, --of, --format, --output-format <OUTPUT-FORMAT> Output format ("GDALG" allowed) --co, --creation-option <KEY>=<VALUE> Creation option [may be repeated] --overwrite Whether overwriting existing output is allowed -b, --band <BAND> Input band (1-based index) (default: 1) --algorithm <ALGORITHM> Algorithm to compute TRI. ALGORITHM=Riley|Wilson (default: Riley) --no-edges Do not try to interpolate values at dataset edges or close to nodata values Advanced Options: --if, --input-format <INPUT-FORMAT> Input formats [may be repeated] --oo, --open-option <KEY>=<VALUE> Open options [may be repeated] DESCRIPTION gdal raster tri generates a single-band raster with values computed from the elevation. TRI stands for Terrain Ruggedness Index, which mea- sures the difference between a central pixel and its surrounding cells. This subcommand is also available as a potential step of gdal raster pipeline Value -9999 is used as the nodata value. A nodata value in the target dataset will also be emitted if at least one pixel set to the nodata value is found in the 3x3 window centered around each source pixel. By default, the algorithm will compute values at image edges or if a nodata value is found in the 3x3 window, by in- terpolating missing values, unless --no-edges is specified, in which case a 1-pixel border around the image will be set with the nodata value. Standard options -f, --of, --format, --output-format <OUTPUT-FORMAT> Which output raster format to use. Allowed values may be given by gdal --formats | grep raster | grep rw | sort --co <NAME>=<VALUE> Many formats have one or more optional creation options that can be used to control particulars about the file created. For in- stance, the GeoTIFF driver supports creation options to control compression, and whether the file should be tiled. May be repeated. The creation options available vary by format driver, and some simple formats have no creation options at all. A list of op- tions supported for a format can be listed with the --formats command line option but the documentation for the format is the definitive source of information on driver creation options. See Raster drivers format specific documentation for legal cre- ation options for each format. --overwrite Allow program to overwrite existing target file or dataset. Otherwise, by default, gdal errors out if the target file or dataset already exists. -b, --band <BAND> Index (starting at 1) of the band to which the TRI must be com- puted. --algorithm Riley|Wilson Select the algorithm to use: • Riley, the default, uses the square root of the sum of the square of the difference between a central pixel and its sur- rounding cells. This is recommended for terrestrial use cases. It is implemented from Riley, S.J., De Gloria, S.D., Elliot, R. (1999): A Terrain Ruggedness that Quantifies Topo- graphic Heterogeneity. Intermountain Journal of Science, Vol.5, No.1-4, pp.23-27 • Wilson uses the mean difference between a central pixel and its surrounding cells. This is recommended for bathymetric use cases. It is implemented from Wilson et al. 2007, Marine Geo- desy 30:3-35. --no-edges Do not try to interpolate values at dataset edges or close to nodata values GDALG OUTPUT (ON-THE-FLY / STREAMED DATASET) This program supports serializing the command line as a JSON file using the GDALG output format. The resulting file can then be opened as a raster dataset using the GDALG: GDAL Streamed Algorithm driver, and ap- ply the specified pipeline in a on-the-fly / streamed way.
