Support for custom terrain data

[rmackay9]

This is a request that came up on the original add-support-for-terrain-data issue.

[ReMapHI]

Thanks @rmackay9. I just wanted to point out that this issue has been recently brought up on the Ardupilot forum as well: http://ardupilot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13628

[meee1]

what I plan on doing is adding geotiff support, but only wgs84 geotiffs, aka geographic geotiffs

[ReMapHI]

@meee1 That should work for us (and other GIS folks)

[meee1]

this should be in the latest beta. you need to copy your geotiff's to the srtm directory in the mp directory

[ReMapHI]

Thanks. Once the geotiffs are in the srtm directory, is there any setting within mp that needs to be adjusted in order to read from those geotiffs, or will the elevation be automatically read from them instead of the srtm data?

[meee1]

by default it will use the geotiff, and fall back to srtm.

[meee1]

everybody happy with this?

[ReMapHI]

@meee1 I tried making a survey grid plan twice--with and without the custom geotiff--and checking the "verify height" option. Upon examining the altitude values in both WP files, it appears that they are identical. Also, when I tried to use the elevation graph map tool, MP said it was using SRTM, even when I had the custom geotiff in the folder.

[meee1]

srtm and the geotiff are inter changeable., if there is no geotiff data for the area it will use srtm. I did find a bug in the geotiff parser to do with the start image cords, and the half pixel offset. https://github.com/diydrones/MissionPlanner/commit/bb221e191046e7f13ce70abf8a1e8776aa3aca93

[meee1]

please post your missionplanner.log file, this should have the basic image info in it

[ReMapHI]

It appears that the geotiff is recognized. See log below.

It's highly unlikely that the srtm and geotiff data are identical in this area.

UPDATE: We tested another area and got the same results.

looks like you geotiff doesn't have the proper geotiff tags it should have spat out

Thanks @meee1 . So how do we get proper geotiff tags? Are tfw or prj files required?

The original elevation data was in ERDAS Imagine img format, which I converted/reprojected to geotiff using Global Mapper.

[meee1]

no, for a geotiff technically the tfw and prj are not needed, as the geotiff should have tags with the same info, I'm not sure how globalmapper does this though.

[meee1]

any luck with this one? let me know as i may need to add tfw support.

[ReMapHI]

I'm not really sure how to proceed, since I don't understand how Global Mapper converts/reprojects the geotiff either. Adding tfw support might be helpful. Is that difficult to implement?

[vfp1]

Hi, might be a little to late for this but this worked for me without use of .tfw files. I used QGIS. Import the raster with the elevation information into QGIS. Right click the raster layer in Layers Panel and click "Save As...". The GTiff format is preselected and you can modify the final extents of your geotiff according to your needs. Make sure that the CRS (Coordinate Reference System) is set as WGS 84 (EPSG: 4326). Click OK and you will have a .tiff file with geotags.

Then I just copied that file (.tiff) into the SRTM folder. So I believe that when we select "Terrain" in the waypoints tab in Flight Plan, MissionPlanner will use by default the GeoTiff from the area in which the mission is planned, isn't it?

[ReMapHI]

I downloaded the USGS 10m DEM for Oahu and compared it to SRTM by clicking on few locations in GIS and noting the differences in elevation between datasets. Then I reprojected the USGS DEM into WGS84 and copied the GeoTIFF (just the *.tif) into Mission Planner's SRTM folder. I opened Mission Planner and checked the same spots by hovering the cursor as well as creating waypoints with the different options (absolute, relative, terrain). The elevation data is still coming from SRTM, not the USGS DEM that I copied.

Is there something that we are missing @meee1 ?

To answer the question from @vfp1 : the "Terrain" option will ignore elevation data and only use the default alt (the same result as leaving the "Verify Height" box unchecked).

@meee1 can you please help me, I put my GeoTIFF file inside srtm folder, but it was doesn't used by MP. In the log, I see that geotiff file was recognized but there is an exception after it:

Can you please comment on it? Is it because of EST97 but has to be EPSG 4326?
