✨ r.in.aster ✨

okay bestie, so r.in.aster is the GRASS User's Manual page we're vibing with today 💖 it's a little module from the raster world and she is so good at what she does: georeferencing, rectifying, and importing Terra-ASTER imagery and relative DEMs using gdalwarp. no cap. 🛰️

🎀 NAME 🎀

r.in.aster — georeference, rectify, and import Terra-ASTER imagery and relative DEMs using gdalwarp.

🏷️ KEYWORDS 🏷️

raster, import, imagery, ASTER, elevation

📜 SYNOPSIS 📜

r.in.aster
r.in.aster --help
r.in.aster input=name proctype=string band=string output=name
  [--overwrite]  [--help]  [--verbose]  [--quiet]  [--ui]

🚩 Flags 🚩

  • --overwrite — lets your output files just go ahead and overwrite existing files. permission granted, slay 🔥
  • --help — prints the usage summary, aka the lil cheat sheet 🫶
  • --verbose — verbose module output, for when you want ALL the tea ☕
  • --quiet — quiet module output. shhh 🤫
  • --ui — forces the GUI dialog to launch, for the visual girlies 💅

🧸 Parameters 🧸

  • input=name [required] — the name of your input ASTER image, like literally what you're feeding in 🌸
  • proctype=string [required] — the ASTER imagery processing type (Level 1A, Level 1B, or relative DEM)
    • Options: L1A, L1B, L1T, DEM
    • Default: L1B
  • band=string [required] — list an L1A, L1B or L1T band to translate (like 1,2,3n,...), or just type 'all' and translate every single band like the icon you are 👑
    • Default: all
  • output=name [required] — base name for your output raster map; heads up that the band number gets appended to that base name, iykyk ✨

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

So what does r.in.aster actually do, you ask? it rectifies, georeferences, and imports Terra-ASTER imagery straight into your current project using gdalwarp, hdf 4, and r.in.gdal, and it pulls the projection parameters from g.proj. 🦋

And the range?? immaculate. it can import Level 1A, Level 1B, their relative DEM products, and Level 1T.

You can run the program interactively, or non-interactively from the command line — either way, bestie, the user must specify:

  • an input *.hdf file name
  • the type of processing used
  • the image band to import
  • an output GRASS raster map name

The type parameter can take values of L1A, L1B, L1T or DEM. 🎀

The band parameter can take values of 1, 2, 3n, 3b, 4-14. 💜

📝 NOTES 📝

r.in.aster requires the GDAL library to be in the user's path, plus the hdf 4 driver to be installed. And no skipping this part: the GDAL library must be compiled with hdf support, periodt. 🙈
