@cmbarton This includes a lot of images/graphics taken from other sources. I don't think we can use those here unless their copyright allows it or you have explicit permission from authors. BTW, the freeze is not needed anymore. |

Although I tried to make this as approachable as possible, I don't see this as something that a person first learning GIS (beginner) would be doing. I also listed "advanced" because it is also something that would be useful for an advanced GIS user who has not worked with remote sensing imagery before.

If this is advanced, I am not sure what all the other tutorials on Python and R are. To me this is clearly targeted for beginners, it explains remote sensing etc. Think of people with basic GIS skills.

I am treating the tags as a search term, not a classification. If all of the rest of the tutorials treat tags as classification rather than search terms, you are welcome to change things as you want.
I added tags thinking about who would this be useful for. I don't think it will be very useful for people who are just starting out with GIS. I've worked with a lot of students at that stage, and this would be beyond them. In fact, there are not very many tutorials aimed at beginning GIS users. In general, most GRASS developers have not invested much effort in making GRASS accessible to entry-level GIS users--even though it is much easier to user than in the past. Ironically, while GRASS makes many sophisticated geospatial analyses comparatively easy, some of the most basic GIS actions (e.g., making a thematic map) are quite difficult. IMHO, that is an important reason that fewer people use GRASS than could do so.
Indeed, this tutorial does not demonstrate advanced image analysis methods. But as a search term, intermediate users and even advanced users who have not worked with remote sensing imagery before might find this useful. And yes, tutorials on using GRASS with Python and R will probably be more useful with intermediate and especially advanced GIS users. They could also be useful for people who are regular users of Python and R, and would like to use GRASS with these platforms--though if they are not prior GRASS users, I'm not sure why they would want to learn GRASS rather than user Python and R based geospatial tools for most things. I was just in a GIS session at professional meetings a couple weeks back and spoke to a couple of Python users about GRASS and Python. They were completely uninterested even though it would have made their workflows easier and perhaps more versatile.
We're OK with this. It's only the images in the intro section. I checked them all to make sure they are open access or public domain, and made a few adjustments from my original used for the workshop. I've also added attribution where possible.
Good to know. |
