From GIS to Remote Sensing
I have started developing the new version 5 of the Semi-Automatic Classification Plugin for QGIS.
This will be a major updated with several new functions and a revamped interface.
In particular, the interface will have a unified dock (merging the ROI dock and Classification dock of the previous version) to gain more space for the display of the image. Also, several tools will be moved to a toolbar for rapid access to ROI creation and classification previews.
Following a preview of the new interface (there could be changes in the final version of SCP).
Another major change will be in the input file, with a new file format that will store both ROI polygons and spectral signatures.
Following a brief trailer about this new version.
Other changes that I have planned so far are:
- new tools for the classification refinement (sieve, dilation, erosion) and raster editing;
- revamped scatter and spectral signature plot;
- preprocessing of ASTER images provided by the USGS;
- the display of several spectral indices for pixels during ROI creation;
- new tool for batch processing;
- new tool for managing color composites;
I am still developing this new version, so hopefully other tools will be added before the final release, which is expected in September 2016.
