NAME

r.zonal.classes - Calculates zonal classes proportion describing raster areas's composition, e.g., in terms of land-cover classes.

KEYWORDS

raster, statistics, zonal statistics

SYNOPSIS

r.zonal.classes
r.zonal.classes --help
r.zonal.classes [-rcnpl] zone_map=name raster=name statistics=string[,string,...] [prefix=string] [decimals=integer] [classes_list=string] [csvfile=name] [separator=character] [vectormap=name] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

-r
Adjust region to input map
-c
Force check of input's layer type
-n
Consider null values in the calculations
-p
Proportions as percentages instead of zone's area ratio
-l
Compute statistics only for the classes provided in 'classes_list' parameter
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output
--quiet
Quiet module output
--ui
Force launching GUI dialog

Parameters:

zone_map=name [required]
Name for input raster map with areas
Raster map with areas (all pixels of an area have same id), such as the output of r.clump
raster=name [required]
Name of input categorical raster maps for statistics
statistics=string[,string,...] [required]
Statistics to calculate for each input raster map
Options: proportion, mode
Default: proportion,mode
prefix=string
Prefix for statistics name
decimals=integer
Number of decimals for proportion numbers
Default: 5
classes_list=string
List of classes to be considered in the calculation, e.g. '21,34,35,56'
csvfile=name
Name for output CSV file containing statistics
separator=character
Field separator
Special characters: pipe, comma, space, tab, newline
Default: pipe
vectormap=name
Name for optional vector output map with statistics as attributes

DESCRIPTION

r.zonal.classes computes class proportions and majority class (mode) of a "cover layer" (provided via the raster parameter) - e.g. a land cover map - according to how it intersects with areas/objects in a "base layer" (provided via the zone_map parameter). Areas are defined by adjacent pixels with the same value, such as those obtained with r.clump or i.segment.

This function is similar to r.stats.zonal, but is intended to be used on a categorical raster with integer values (CELL type) instead of floating point as in r.stats.zonal.

NOTES

The user can choose between output in the form of a vector map of the areas contained in the "base layer" with the statistics of the "cover layer" stored in the attribute table (the name of the vector layer should be provided via the vectormap parameter) and/or in the form of a CSV text file (the path to the file should be provided via the csvfile parameter).

By default:

EXAMPLES

On North Carolina sample dataset:
# Define region 
g.region raster=zipcodes

# Get majority class and class proportion of 'landuse96_28m'
# for each zone/object in 'zipcode' layer 
r.zonal.classes zone_map=zipcodes raster=landuse96_28m csvfile=output.csv \
  vectormap=vect_output

# Display attributes table
v.db.select map=vect_output
