stream extraction from ASTER dem

[Milton Cezar Ribeiro]

Dear all,

 

I have a DEM with dimensions 10,000 x 6,000. Now I need to

extract all the stream or drainage, as well as generated some

other stream/flow related features like flow direction,

stream lenght, etc.

 

I work on a computer with 6Gb under Vista, and the grass

version is the OSGeo4W one. But when I try to run the command

below I get one error relate to r.watershed.seg.exe:

 

r.watershed elevation=aster_dem stream=aster_dem_stream threshold=150 -m memory=2048

 

Any idea of how to solve that?

 

cheers

Maybe it is the Vista UAC problem, there were recently other posts
related to this.

Just a guess,

Hi Hamish,

 

I will try without the memory saving flag...

Computer with more memory? The mine is 6Gb (!), and I tryed with 1/4 of the image (5000x3000) but still get error. Any other hint are welcome.

 

cheers

try a smaller region
(or try on a computer with more memory)
(yes, I saw the seg part, hey try without that memory saving flag too!)

Hi Markus,

 

May be you are right (Vista issue!). Two month ago I was trying to run the same steps on grass, but I was expecting that new OSGeo4W release included some fix for that. :-(

 

Anyway, thanks for your time.

 

Any colleague that could suggest a way of I extract some geomorphometry features (sensu Tom Hengl!) from "large" DEM (10,000x6,000), please let me know.

That problem of r.watershed on Vista 64bit (I assume you use Vista 64bit
because of 6GB RAM) showed up before. I guess the basic problem is that
wingrass is 32bit because msys and gcc coming with msys and OS-specific
include files are all 32 bit. A 32bit application can't use all 6GB. It
would be interesting to see if other modules with huge RAM requirements
also fail on Vista 64bit. Anyway, valgrind and gdb did not show me
anything on Linux. Try GRASS on XP or Linux if possible, there it should
work.

Good luck,

Markus M

Maybe r.watershed in grass 6.5? The A* Search section of r.watershed in
6.5 needs only about 40% of the memory needed in 6.4 and is about 30%
faster than in 6.4. Both the reduced memory consumption and increased
speed are more noticeable on larger maps with > 50 million non-NULL
cells. In 6.5, r.watershed also supports floating point DEMs and MFD,
each of which and particularly the combination of both produce more
realistic results.

r.terraflow was designed particularly for massive datasets and should
have no problems with a map of 60 million cells.

Lastly, an environment where GRASS (and SAGA rev Tom Hengl) can be
compiled as 64bit application helps processing large datasets.

Best wishes,

Markus M
