[GRASS-dev] GSOC Horizon based stratigraphy wk3 checkin

This week I worked on the voxel assignment operator for my module. I also explored the possibility of using a priori assigned anisotropy with a kernal operator to populate the voxel space.One concern that I am not sure how to manage yet are horizon instances that are only identified in a single sample. Next week I will continue working on these same areas.

How about making the assumption that horizons sampled by a single point are horizontal–or perhaps some other plane with dip and strike specified by the user like in r.plane.

I suppose this is a rather philosophical question.
At least I am not aware of any established method
for answering the question whether a single piece
of evidence should be taken into account or discarded.

I would tend towards the latter (discard). My argument
would be that if a soil horizon occurs only in a
single sample, then either:
(a) the sampling strategy was flawed (perhaps the
spacing between sampling points was too wide) or
(b) there was a problem with interpreting the samples.

If you decide to discard singular evidence, then
your module should display an appropriate warning.

Best,

Ben

Hi Tim,

This week I worked on the voxel assignment operator for my module. I also
explored the possibility of using a priori assigned anisotropy with a kernal
operator to populate the voxel space.One concern that I am not sure how to
manage yet are horizon instances that are only identified in a single
sample. Next week I will continue working on these same areas.

it would be nice to collect your ideas and report progress also on a
project wiki page [1], see other projects [2].

Thanks, Martin

+1 on the wiki documentation.
