Hi list,
here is a question on how to extract spatial features from a RGB raster with
the raster calculator.
Here's the situation:
- I am using QGIS 2.12.3 Lyon
- The goal is to extract a feature from an aerial photo as a binary map (e.g. a
winding clearly yellow colored linear feature)
- A RGB-raster was imported from PNG.
- The raster can be properly displayed.
- A object-query on the yellow colored feature gives a RGB value of
channel1:255 channel2:255 channel3:0
- A first naive approach was to calculate
(("image@1"=255)AND("image@2"=255))AND("image@3"=0). This resulted in a raster
of 0s.
- Multiples trials showed that also the calculation of individual raster layers
of image@1=255 ,image@2=255 and image@3=0 also result in empty rasters.
- More trial and error showed that individual calculation of image@1 > 200 ,
image@2 > 200 and image@3 < 30 give reasonable results each. Chaining these
binary maps (again) with AND leads yet gain to an empty result.
I have a bit of a GRASS background so probably I'm thinking too much along the
lines of r.mapcalc.
Any comments on what I am doing wrong would be much appreciated.
best,
Peter
