SpaceBook Project

So we’ve arrived in Edinburgh and I’ve started working with the SB team… William’s away and kindly allowing me to use his office for the moment.

Useful Data sources (thanks to Guy):

MasterMap – building outlines from OS (downloaded thru EDINA)
LiDAR and 3D building (from DSM-DTM) polygons from http://landmap.ac.uk/

edin 3d from landmap

(The 3D buildings from Landmap SHP source)

 



GRASS – new viewshed function (ie not r.los)

r.viewshed (addon) – using faster algo (sweep method)

Install method for Windows summary – download GRASS source (all).. add r.viewshed source folders… change the MAKEFILE to incl r.viewshed – compile GRASS as per this page:


http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/CompileOnWindows

Using msys

/mswindows/osgeo4w/package.sh
the package error log goes into this folder:
\\OSGeo4W\usr\src\grass641\mswindows\osgeo4w as package.log
