gdal_proximity - Produces a raster proximity map.
gdal_proximity.py <srcfile> <dstfile> [-srcband n] [-dstband n]

[-ot Byte/UInt16/UInt32/Float32/etc]

[-fixed-buf-val n]
The gdal_proximity.py script generates a raster proximity
map indicating the distance from the center of each pixel to the center of
the nearest pixel identified as a target pixel. Target pixels are those in
the source raster for which the raster pixel value is in the set of target
pixel values.
- <srcfile>
- The source raster file used to identify target pixels.
- <dstfile>
- The destination raster file to which the proximity map will be written. It
may be a pre-existing file of the same size as srcfile. If it does not
exist it will be created.
- -srcband
<n>
- Identifies the band in the source file to use (default is 1).
- -dstband
<n>
- Identifies the band in the destination file to use (default is 1).
- -of <format>
- Select the output format. Starting with GDAL 2.3, if not specified, the
format is guessed from the extension (previously was GTiff). Use the short
format name.
- -co
<NAME=VALUE>
- Many formats have one or more optional creation options that can be used
to control particulars about the file created. For instance, the GeoTIFF
driver supports creation options to control compression, and whether the
file should be tiled.
The creation options available vary by format driver, and some
simple formats have no creation options at all. A list of options
supported for a format can be listed with the --formats command
line option but the documentation for the format is the definitive
source of information on driver creation options. See Raster
drivers format specific documentation for legal creation options for
each format.
- -ot <type>
- Specify a data type supported by the driver, which may be one of the
following: Byte, UInt16, Int16, UInt32,
Int32, Float32 (default), or Float64.
- -values
<n>,<n>,<n>
- A list of target pixel values in the source image to be considered target
pixels. If not specified, all non-zero pixels will be considered target
pixels.
- -distunits
PIXEL|GEO
- Indicate whether distances generated should be in pixel or georeferenced
coordinates (default PIXEL).
- -maxdist
<n>
- The maximum distance to be generated. The nodata value will be used for
pixels beyond this distance. If a nodata value is not provided, the output
band will be queried for its nodata value. If the output band does not
have a nodata value, then the value 65535 will be used. Distance is
interpreted in pixels unless -distunits GEO is specified.
- -nodata
<n>
- Specify a nodata value to use for the destination proximity raster.
- -use_input_nodata
YES/NO
- Indicate whether nodata pixels in the input raster should be nodata in the
output raster (default NO).
- -fixed-buf-val
<n>
- Specify a value to be applied to all pixels that are within the -maxdist
of target pixels (including the target pixels) instead of a distance
value.
