I have gone through similar questions to mine here, but I didn't find a solution. Please help!

When cropping a raster image by using g.region & r.mapcalc, I get a new image but the resulting image doesn't have the same resolution. I have used r.resample in the outer raster map but is still different. I have tried to change the resolution using g.region, and even though the resolution is the same, the image display is not.

Is there a way in grass to cut an image from the main raster image and keep the resolution unchanged?

Also, I have tried using zoom to choose the crop area and its works! but as I have to do the same with a lot of images and need to be precise (when zooming), so it is difficult and takes a lot of time.

How could I solve this? Many thanks!

  • That's very unlikely. each mapset has a fixed resolution based on g.region. Im sorry for questing you bad have you checked the resulting image's resolution with r.info just to be sure?

  • Thanks for your comment. I'm re-checking the procedure I was following...

  • Ok. I'm doing right with resolution now. Maybe I was not following the instruction in the right order before.

You might need simply g.region twice, first to set the resolution to the same as the original raster, and a second time to change the extents, so:

g.region rast=<original_raster>
g.region e=... w=... n=... s=...
r.mapcalc clipped_rast=original_rast

You can also permanently set the MAPSET region with g.region -s res=... e=... w=...

  • Thanks for clarifying. Takes me a while to conceptualize the concepts. So far everything is working following the steps here.

Another way to crop a raster is to create a mask for the area you want to extract, either from a raster of from a vector and then (with the mask raster present) run:

mapcalc "mImage_Croped = mImage"

  • Thanks. I 'm comparing the result of cropping by creating a mask and using g.region. I think with the last one I would use less memory as have to work with severals images.
