# GDAL Raster GeoTIFF Workflow
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Build Tools: CMake/Ninja
|
||
OS: Linux
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### For testing:
|
||
`mkdir build && cd build`
|
||
|
||
`cmake .. -G Ninja`
|
||
|
||
`ninja`
|
||
|
||
`./raster`
|
||
|
||
## About the project
|
||
GDAL is a translator library for raster and vector
|
||
geospatial data format.
|
||
The project consist in rastering a GeoTIFF file format
|
||
using GDAL functionalities and sandboxed methods.
|
||
|
||
## Implementation
|
||
|
||
*Sandboxing...*
|
||
|
||
The purpose of sandboxing is to limit the permissions
|
||
and capabilities of library’s methods, in order to
|
||
secure the usage of them. After obtaining the sandbox,
|
||
the functions will be called through an Sandbox API
|
||
(being called api in the current test) and so, the
|
||
operations, system calls or namspaces access may be
|
||
controlled.
|
||
|
||
*Raster process...*
|
||
|
||
From gdal.h header useful methods are added to sapi
|
||
library builded with CMake.
|
||
|
||
One .tiff file is manipulated with GDALOpen
|
||
functionality, which extracts a pointer to the data set
|
||
containg a list of raster bands, all pertaining to the
|
||
same area.
|
||
Metadata, a coordinate system, a georeferencing
|
||
transform, size of raster and various other information
|
||
are kept into the data set that corresponds to the image.
|
||
|
||
To create an array containing the image information, the
|
||
dimentions needed are extracted using some specific
|
||
GDAL(X/Y)Size functions applied to the block.
|
||
GDALRasterBand function takes care of data type conversion, one more step following: placing the
|
||
converted data (with RasterIO method) into the created
|
||
and well allocated structure.
