WhiteboxTools v0.15.0
Version 0.15.0 (03-03-2019)
-
The following tools were added to the project:
BoundaryShapeComplexity
NarrownessIndex
ShapeComplexityIndexRaster -
Fixed a bug with the PanchromaticSharpening tool.
-
Previously, if a LAS v1.4 file were input to a tool, the output LAS file, which is currently
always in LAS v1.3 format, would not correctly translate the 64-bit information (point
return, number of returns, classification) into 32-bit format. I have added the
get_32bit_from_64bit function to handle this translation more gracefully; albeit it is
still a lossy translation where returns greater than 5 are ignored and classification
values greater than 31 are lost. -
Added a maximum triangle edge length parameter to the LidarTinGridding tool to allow
for the exclusion of large-area triangles (i.e. low point density) from the gridding. -
The NormalizedDifferenceVegetationIndex tool has been renamed to NormalizedDifferenceIndex
to indicate the more general nature of this tool (i.e. NDVI, NDWI, OSAVI, etc.). -
Significant changes have been made to the BreachDepressions tool to make it more in-line
with the behaviour of the GoSpatial algorithm described in the original Lindsay (2016)
paper. These changes include: 1) the inclusion of an optional parameter to fill single-cell
pits prior to breaching, 2) the addition of a --flat_increment parameter, which overrides
the automatically derived value assigned to flat areas along breach channels (or filled
depressions), and 3) the tool now performs a fast post-breach filling operation, when
run in constrained-breaching mode (i.e. when the user specifies values for either
--max_depth or --max_length, placing constraints on the allowable breach channel size).
