All Implemented Interfaces:
RasterProcess

public class AreaGridProcess extends Object implements RasterProcess
A process that build a regular cell grid where each pixel represents its effective area in the envelope in square meters.

Internally the process uses a reprojection to EckertIV to ensure proper area computation. Current limitations:

  • won't work for very large rasters since it allocates the entire grid in memory
  • area accuracy increases as the cell size shrinks, avoid having cells that occupy sizeable chunks of the world
