Remote sensing, Hydrology, Land evaluation
3) Why do you use GRASS?
a) public domain; best use of limited funds
d) other
With a basic knowledge about Unix, some C and shell scripting allows to perform
much of our tasks! By using grass we do not need to spend a lot of time to lear
n
an additional language! The open structure allows to get a clear idea of what t
he GIS
is performing! In research it is not only important to do the job but also how,
why
and with which accuracy a job is done!
4) Does GRASS functionality meet your GIS needs?
b) No, A better floating point system should be very helpfull! Eventhough
we have
fp_grass4.1 we are not 100% satisfied with the performance of it! For that reas
on we run both versions
floating point and grass4.1.5
5) What operating system do you use?
a) A variation of commercial Unix on a Silicon Graphics Indy (irix5.3) com
puter.
b) Linux, public-domain Unix
c) Windows 95/NT for GRASSLANDS (I'm not affiliated with LAS/GRASSLANDS).
d) Other?6) What is your organization's future plan for GIS?
b) Continue with GRASS and develop applications (scripts/code) IF NEEDED!
