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 datasets [required] [not available in pipelines] -o, --output <OUTPUT> Output raster dataset [required] [not available in pipelines] 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] -q, --quiet Quiet mode (no progress bar or warning message) [not available in pipelines] Options: -f, --of, --format, --output-format <OUTPUT-FORMAT> Output format ("GDALG" allowed) [not available in pipelines] --co, --creation-option <KEY>=<VALUE> Creation option [may be repeated] [not available in pipelines] --overwrite Whether overwriting existing output dataset is allowed [not available in pipelines] Mutually exclusive with --append --append Append as a subdataset to existing output [not available in pipelines] Mutually exclusive with --overwrite -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] [not available in pipelines] --oo, --open-option <KEY>=<VALUE> Open options [may be repeated] [not available in pipelines] DESCRIPTION gdal raster tri generates a single-band raster with values computed from the elevation. TRI stands for Terrain Ruggedness Index, which measures 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 interpolating missing values, unless --no-edges is specified, in which case a 1-pixel border around the image will be set with the nodata value. 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 apply the specified pipeline in a on-the-fly / streamed way. PROGRAM-SPECIFIC OPTIONS --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 surrounding cells. This is recommended for terrestrial use cases. It is im- plemented from Riley, S.J., De Gloria, S.D., Elliot, R. (1999): A Terrain Ruggedness that Quantifies Topographic Heterogeneity. In- termountain 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 Geodesy 30:3-35. -b, --band <BAND> Index (starting at 1) of the band to which the TRI must be computed. --no-edges Do not try to interpolate values at dataset edges or close to nodata values STANDARD OPTIONS --append Append input raster as a new subdataset to an existing output file. Only works with drivers that support adding subdatasets such as GTiff -- GeoTIFF File Format and GPKG -- GeoPackage raster This also creates the output dataset if it does not exist yet. --co, --creation-option <NAME>=<VALUE> Many formats have one or more optional creation options that can be used to control particulars about the file created. For instance, 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 sim- ple formats have no creation options at all. A list of options sup- ported 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 for- mat specific documentation for legal creation options for each for- mat. --if, --input-format <format> Format/driver name to be attempted to open the input file(s). It is generally not necessary to specify it, but it can be used to skip automatic driver detection, when it fails to select the appropriate driver. This option can be repeated several times to specify sev- eral candidate drivers. Note that it does not force those drivers to open the dataset. In particular, some drivers have requirements on file extensions. May be repeated. --oo, --open-option <NAME>=<VALUE> Dataset open option (format specific). May be repeated. -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 --overwrite Allow program to overwrite existing target file or dataset. Other- wise, by default, gdal errors out if the target file or dataset al- ready exists. RETURN STATUS CODE The program returns status code 0 in case of success, and non-zero in case of error (non-blocking errors emitted as warnings are considered as a suc- cessful execution).
