Re: GeoGrid stride doesnt seem to work ?



ok, we think we see the problem, we'll let you know when we have a fix

Hi John -

It's just a raw gini sattelite file, for WEST-CONUS_4km IR....

Hi John -

Long time no chat, I know, and my apologies ;-( Of course, I have been
on a different project than the gridded server, and working on MDSS
instead (that's a CO Dept of Transportation app). But the good news is that
we are using Netcdf/Thredds/NCML and GeoGrids to display radar
and satellite data.  Works beautifully ;-), except for the stride....

I hope you can help?  I tried to narrow down my code sample that
doesnt work, as much as possible to help you debug if you choose
to accept this ;-) Here I go. This is a long email, but the conclusion
is simple, i think (skip the the bottom if you like) ;-)

So, we're doing client side decimation/stride, in order to decrease
the amount of data sent across the wire, especially when zoomed
way out.  I first create a GeoGrid for a URL and grid name, and
then subset it with a LatLon bounding box and a stride.  For now,
I hardcode the y stride to 3, and the x stride to 1.  Here's my code
with a description below...

---------------------------
final String fileUrl = "http://www.rap.ucar.edu/projects/rdwx_mdss/thredds.php/dodsC/data/rawIR";;
      final String geoGridName = "IR";
      GridDataset gridDataset = null;
      try
      {
        gridDataset = GridDataset.open( fileUrl );
      }
      catch( IOException ex )
      {
        ex.printStackTrace( );
        return;
      }

      // Only gets the desired grid for now
GeoGrid mainGeoGrid = gridDataset.findGridByName( geoGridName );

      LonLatRect rapLonLatRect = vo.getLLBBox();
LatLonPoint unidataLowerLeftPoint = new LatLonPointImpl( rapLonLatRect.getMinLat(), rapLonLatRect.getMinLon() ); LatLonPoint unidataUpperRightPoint = new LatLonPointImpl( rapLonLatRect.getMaxLat(), rapLonLatRect.getMaxLon() ); // For example, unidataLatLonRect.toString() returns "ll: 37.0N 109.0W+ ur: 41.0N 102.0W" LatLonRect unidataLatLonRect = new LatLonRect( unidataLowerLeftPoint, unidataUpperRightPoint );
      final int xStride = 1;
      final int yStride = 3;
GeoGrid stridedGeoGrid = mainGeoGrid.subset( null, null, unidataLatLonRect, 1, yStride, xStride );

ProjectionImpl stridedProjection = stridedGeoGrid.getProjection(); GridCoordSys stridedCoordSys = (GridCoordSys) stridedGeoGrid.getCoordinateSystem(); CoordinateAxis1D stridedXAxis = (CoordinateAxis1D) stridedCoordSys.getXHorizAxis();

      {
        System.out.println( "X Axis is not regular.  Panic." );
        return;
      }
CoordinateAxis1D stridedYAxis = (CoordinateAxis1D) stridedCoordSys.getYHorizAxis();
      if( ! stridedYAxis.isRegular() )
      {
        System.out.println( "Y Axis is not regular.  Panic." );
        return;
      }
      Array xValues = stridedXAxis.read();
      Array yValues = stridedYAxis.read();
      Index xAxisIndex = xValues.getIndex();
      Index yAxisIndex = yValues.getIndex();

      double xHalfDelta = xDelta / 2.0;
      double yDelta = stridedYAxis.getIncrement();
      double yHalfDelta = yDelta / 2.0;

DateFormat dateFormatter = new SimpleDateFormat( "MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss zzz" ); Date dataTime = dateFormatter.parse( "02/16/2007 08:00:00 MST" ); Array dataValues = stridedGeoGrid.readYXData( stridedCoordSys.findTimeIndexFromDate( dataTime ), -1 );

      for( int y = 0; y < stridedYAxis.getSize(); y++ )
      {
        yAxisIndex.set( y );
double yValue = yValues.getDouble( yAxisIndex ); // <-------------- Reference A -----------------

            // Get the color for the value.
            myColor = colorScale.getColorForValue( dataValue );

          if( myColor == null )
          {

              continue;

            g2d.setColor( myColor );
            g2d.drawPolygon( polyToRender );
          }
        }
      }

  -----------------------------

Now Im not sure if I am using the resulting strided GeoGrid correctly. But, from the strided GeoGrid, I use it's x and y axis values (lat/lons) for (Jade) projections and for determining the screen locations of each data cell. That's 'Reference A' labelled above. It seems to me that this is correct -
those lat/lon values span the entire grid, as expected.

The problem, i think, is that the data values are not correct. I think the
subsetted/strided data looks like (Figure 1 ;-):

Strided data       Original data
------------------------------------------
Row 0 -------->  original row 0 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 1 -------->  empty (bad)
Row 2 -------->  empty (bad)
Row 3 -------->  original row 3 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 4 -------->  empty (bad)
Row 5 -------->  empty (bad)
Row 6 -------->  original row 6 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 7 -------->  empty (bad)
Row 8 -------->  empty (bad)
Row 9 -------->  original row 9 (good, for yStride = 3)
....

At Reference B in the code, using someIndex.set( y, x ), will
plot the values as in Figure 1 - I will have empty rows going
across my screen = bad.

On the other hand, at Reference B in the code, using
someIndex.set( y * yStride, x * xStride ) will plot the
upper third of the data correctly, and then throw exceptions
when the index goes out of bounds.  So the data remains
as in Figure 1, but it will be plotted like so until y gets
bigger than the data (1/3 down the map):

Strided data       Original data
------------------------------------------
Row 0 -------->  original row 0 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 1 -------->  original row 3 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 2 -------->  original row 6 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 3 -------->  original row 9 (good, for yStride = 3)
....
throw....

Conclusion:  I think the data needs to look like:

Strided data       Original data
------------------------------------------
Row 0 -------->  original row 0 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 1 -------->  original row 3 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 2 -------->  original row 6 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 3 -------->  original row 9 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 4 -------->  original row 12 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 5 -------->  original row 15 (good, for yStride = 3)
Row 6 -------->  original row 18 (good, for yStride = 3)
....
all the way down to stridedGeoGrid.getYAxis().getSize() effectively.
ie:  The data needs to be packed, rather than sparse.

;-)  Whew.  I tried to be as concise as possible.  What do you think?
Can you help me????

;-) Hope all is well over there....




Hi Rob: the problome is probably in the IOSP, so it depends on what file you are opening. can you send it to me?
