r.surf.nnbathy is an interface between the
external
nnbathy utility and
GRASS.
nnbathy is a surface interpolation program provided with
nn - a natural neighbor
interpolation library, written by Pavel Sakov.
r.surf.nnbathy provides 3 interpolation algorithms. According to
nn library documentation these are: Delaunay interpolation
(alg=l), Watson's algortithm for Sibson natural neighbor
interpolation (alg=nn) and Belikov and Semenov's algorithm for
non-Sibsonian natural neighbor interpolation (alg=ns). For performing
the underlaying Delaunay triangulation in all cases nnbathy uses
triangle software by
Jonathan Richard Shewchuk.
The output raster map is a continous surface interpolated from the
input data.
nnbathy, if built with '-DNN_SERIAL' (default as of nn 1.85), is
able to create a grid of virtually any size. It interpolates and writes one
output point at a time only. This eliminates the necessity to hold the whole
output array in memory. However, even then all the input points are still
held in the memory.
- Requires GRASS 7 and nnbathy 1.76 or greater.
- Build nnbathy according to instructions provided with its source
code and put it somewhere in your $PATH.
- The output raster map extent and resolution match the region settings at
which the script was started.
- The output raster map non-NULL area is limited to the convex hull
encompassing all the non-NULL input cells.
- The output is double precision floating point raster map (DCELL).
- Natural neighbor is a an exact interpolation algorithm, so all
non-NULL input points have their value exactly preserved in the output.
- There is circa 0.2 KB memory overhead per each input cell.
However, the output grid can be of any size, if nnbathy is
built with -DNN_SERIAL switch.
- r.surf.nnbathy creates 3 temporary files: ASCII x,y,z lists of
the input points and output cells, and the output list converted into GRASS ASCII
format. Then it makes a GRASS raster map from the latter - and only then it
removes the 3 temp files, when the script terminates. Thus, at the script
run time several times more disk space might be required, than the final
GRASS raster map would actually occupy.
