Description

Hi,

I have the following error:

Oooops! SEXTANTE could not open the following output layers

Output vector file: /tmp/sextante/otbmeanshiftsegmentationlargescalevectoroutputbdc33d1cf5754b099ae93605846a76e8.shp
The above files could not be opened, which probably indicates that they were not correctly produced by the executed algorithm

Checking the log information might help you see why those layers were not created as expected

when running the following command with the attached image:

sextante.runalg("otb:meanshiftsegmentationlargescalevectoroutput","/home/user/Desktop/NorthCarolina.tif",5,0.1,15,100,100,None,False,True,1,0,"layer",1024,1,0,"",None)

This is the INFO log:

I think it is related to an issue of OTB, about certain projections, described here: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/otb-users/0Te-TnCyVj0 and http://bugs.orfeo-toolbox.org/view.php?id=572

Thank you

it seems that the meanshiftsegmentation tools with vector output only work if the input is in wgs84, but if is a OTB issue there is not much that SEXTANTE can do.

Yes, maybe it could be useful to check if raster projection is in wgs84 and, if not, to provide a message that meanshiftsegmentation does not work with that raster projection.

Cheers!

#4 Updated by Manuel Grizonnet about 10 years ago

It is not true that the OTB Segmentation only support WGS84 but on the other hand the application tests if the output projection is compatible with the output vector format if it is ESRI Shapefile.

We're using gdal/OGR API to test this and it is more a limitiation of the Shapefile format:

http://hg.orfeo-toolbox.org/OTB/file/c10e2afb9ade/Code/Common/otbGeoInformationConversion.cxx#l66

This test is perhaps not valid and there is somehow a way to write a shapefile in the projection dump the INFO log above. We did not find for now in OTB how to do this.

Let me know if someone more familiar with shp format and specific projection system got some info about it.

Cheers!

Some providers are being removed from QGIS/Processing (will be available as plugin) and so are their categories in the bug tracker. To not leave them orphaned of a category they are being reassigned to processing/core.
