  1. r.param.scale
  2. GRASS module that extracts terrain parameters from a DEM.
  3. Uses a multi-scale approach by taking fitting quadratic
  4. parameters to any size window (via least squares).
  5. Jo Wood, 27th November, 1994.
  6. -------
  7. Modified to include constrained fitting.
  8. Jo Wood, April, 1995
  9. -------
  10. Modified to include weighting matrix and double precision arithmetic.
  11. Jo Wood, 9th May, 1995.
  12. -------
  13. Modified to include two separate tolerance values for feature detection.
  14. Jo Wood, 23rd May, 1995.
  15. -------
  16. Still to do:
  17. Fix bug when `constrain through central cell' option selected.
  18. Create colour tables for all output files (presently only on features).
  19. -------
  20. See also Java Code in 'LandSerf' that implements the same procedure
  21. (http://www.geog.le.ac.uk/jwo/research/LandSerf).
  22. -------
  23. Usage:
  24. r.param.scale [-c] in=name out=name [s_tol=value] [c_tol=value]
  25. [size=value] [param=name] [exp=value] [zscale=value]
  26. Flags:
  27. -c Constrain model through central window cell

  29. in Raster surface layer to process
  30. out Output raster layer containing morphometric parameter
  31. s_tol Slope tolerance that defines a `flat' surface (degrees)
  32. default: 1.0
  33. c_tol Curvature tolerance that defines `planar' surface
  34. default: 1.0
  35. size Size of processing window (odd number only)
  36. default: 3
  37. param Morphometric parameter to calculate
  38. options: elev,slope,aspect,profc,planc,longc,crosc,minic,maxic,
  39. feature
  40. default: elev
  41. exp Exponent for distance weighting (0.0-4.0)
  42. default: 0.0
  43. zscale Vertical scaling factor
  44. default: 1.0
