Getting Single Band (grayscale) GeoTiff to pass through C# wrapper into bitmap (or othe manipulation of raster data)

Hello,
  I normally try to figure this out, but I've spent two days on it:

I'm currently attempting to get the GeoTIFF raster information which is my elevation data for a given dataset.  I'm basically attempting to use GDAL to drape a bitmap over my GeoTIFF (which will generate a 3d geometry).  I can't seem to pull in the GeoTIFF information through the C# GDAL wrapper utilizing ReadRaster() method (which is utilized in the GDALDatasetRasterIO.cs application).

I'm using the same exact code to troubleshoot at the moment, and the single-band grayscale TIF I'm pulling in is simply being clamped to all 255s when I look at the buffer or I output to a bitmap.  OpenEV pulls and displays the TIFF perfectly...I get the feeling this might be a little more complicated than I'm hoping...

Is there not an easy way to get these GeoTIFFs out through the C# wrapper?  It would be infinitely easier for me to keep everything into C#, but I'm getting the feeling I'm going to have to modify the wrapper.  That said, if I knew I was getting the correct data from my buffer from readraster() I can certainly forgo saving it as a bitmap.  However, getting all 255s is not my idea of an accurate depiction.

Let me know if you need anymore information.

Since you have a single band image the GDALRead.cs would be a better
example how to do this
(http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/swig/csharp/apps/GDALRead.cs)

However all the examples out there use byte data type, and you might
have to modify the examples to pass an array of floats instead of
bytes, something like:

Band band = ds.GetRasterBand(1);
float[] data = new float[width * height];
band.ReadRaster(0, 0, width, height, data, width, height, 0, 0);


Best regards,

Tamas

Re: Getting Single Band (grayscale) GeoTiff to pass through C# wrapper into bitmap (or othe manipulation of raster data)

That was insanely easy, I feel like a total idiot...I seriously contemplated going the 1 for 1 route, but decided that I wasn't getting the correct data into my buffer.  I guess I wasn't fiddling with the correct datatype (which I thought I did try to force it to float).

To get the bitmap image I did have to scale the floats to be RGB compliant (0 to 255).  Is this a correct way to display an elevation geotiff??  Also, are there any plans in utilizing a raster image (IE this geotiff I have) as a DEM in OGR, specifically for C#?


This library is a lifesaver fyi...Thanks!

Since you have a single band image the GDALRead.cs would be a better
example how to do this
(http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/browser/trunk/gdal/swig/csharp/apps/GDALRead.cs)

However all the examples out there use byte data type, and you might
have to modify the examples to pass an array of floats instead of
bytes, something like:

Band band = ds.GetRasterBand(1);
float[] data = new float[width * height];
band.ReadRaster(0, 0, width, height, data, width, height, 0, 0);


Best regards,

You might want to convert your data into a coloured RGB raster for
displaying purposes. As an option you could wrap your data within a
GDAL VRT (virtual) data source (by defining the bands as
ComplexSource-s) and apply a LUT for each band for scaling the data.
For more information see: http://www.gdal.org/gdal_vrttut.html

Alternatively you could also do the same suff with C# in a pixel-to-pixel basis.


I'm not totally sure what you mean by utilizing your raster image in
OGR, could you clarify this?


Best regards,

Tamas
