WhiteboxTools is an advanced geospatial data analysis platform developed by
|
|
Prof. John Lindsay at the University of Guelph's Geomorphometry and
|
|
Hydrogeomatics Research Group. WhiteboxTools can be used to perform common
|
|
geographical information systems (GIS) analysis operations, such as
|
|
cost-distance analysis, distance buffering, and raster reclassification. Remote
|
|
sensing and image processing tasks include image enhancement (e.g. panchromatic
|
|
sharpening, contrast adjustments), image mosaicing, numerous filtering
|
|
operations, simple classification (k-means), and common image transformations.
|
|
WhiteboxTools also contains advanced tooling for spatial hydrological analysis
|
|
(e.g. flow-accumulation, watershed delineation, stream network analysis, sink
|
|
removal), terrain analysis (e.g. common terrain indices such as slope,
|
|
curvatures, wetness index, hillshading; hypsometric analysis; multi-scale
|
|
topographic position analysis), and LiDAR data processing. LiDAR point clouds
|
|
can be interrogated (LidarInfo, LidarHistogram), segmented, tiled and joined,
|
|
analyized for outliers, interpolated to rasters (DEMs, intensity images), and
|
|
ground-points can be classified or filtered. WhiteboxTools is not a
|
|
cartographic or spatial data visualization package; instead it is meant to
|
|
serve as an analytical backend for other data visualization software, mainly
|
|
GIS.
