Introduction
Main Idea
QGIS is a powerful Free and Open Source GIS software, you can work with everything that has some spatial characteristics. The aim of this project is to add some tool to the existing raster calculator to facilitate some workflows.
Project proposal
The proposal for GSoC 2021 that I submitted can be found here.
Abstract
QGIS already has an integrated raster calculator, where user can enter an expression that will apply raster algebra functions to one or more input rasters and produce a new raster file. This project aim is to develop a new virtual raster data provider that can help to use the raster calculator without creating a lot of files on a disk. It will be possible to perform the computation on the fly when map gets rendered. It will be therefore possible for the users to see the results of raster algebra expression that has been typed without the creation of derived raster files. For example, it should be possible to compute the NDVI index on-the-fly.
