DESCRIPTION


r.fillnulls fills NULL pixels (no data areas) in input raster map and stores filled data
to a new output raster map. The fill areas are interpolated from the no data area
boundaries buffer using v.surf.rst regularized spline interpolation with tension
(method=rst) or r.resamp.bspline cubic or linear spline interpolation with Tykhonov
regularization.

NOTES


Each area boundary buffer is set to three times the map resolution to get nominally three
points around the edge. This way the algorithm interpolates into the hole with a trained
slope and curvature at the edges, in order to avoid that such a flat plane is generated in
a hole. The width of edge area can be adjusted by changing the edge parameter.

During the interpolation following warning may occur when using the RST method:

Warning: strip exists with insufficient data
Warning: taking too long to find points for interpolation--please change the region to
area where your points are

This warning is generated if large data holes exist within the surface. As the idea of
r.fillnulls is to fill such holes, the user may ignore the warning. The interpolation will
be continued. However, the user may pay attention to below notes.

If interpolation fails, temporary raster and vector maps are left in place to allow
unfilled map hole (NULL area) identification and manual repair.

When using the default RST method, the algorithm is based on v.surf.rst regularized
splines with tension interpolation module which interpolates the raster cell values for
NULL data areas from the boundary values of the NULL data area. An eventual raster MASK is
respected during the NULL data area(s) filling. The interpolated values are patched into
the NULL data area(s) of the input map and saved into a new raster map. Otherwise, either
the linear or cubic spline interpolation with Tykhonov regularization can be selected
(based on r.resamp.bspline).

WARNING


Depending on the shape of the NULL data area(s) problems may occur due to an insufficient
number of input cell values for the interpolation process. Most problems will occur if a
NULL data area reaches a large amount of the map boundary. The user will have to carefully
check the result using r.mapcalc (generating a difference map to the input map and
applying the "differences" color table with r.colors) and/or to query individual cell
values.

RST method stores temporary maps on hard disk. It will require at least as much free space
as one extra input raster map takes.

EXAMPLE


In this example, the SRTM elevation map in the North Carolina sample dataset location is
filtered for outlier elevation values; missing pixels are then re-interpolated to obtain a
complete elevation map:
g.region raster=elev_srtm_30m -p
d.mon wx0
d.histogram elev_srtm_30m
# remove too low elevations (esp. lakes)
r.mapcalc "elev_srtm_30m_filt = if(elev_srtm_30m < 50.0, null(), elev_srtm_30m)"
d.histogram elev_srtm_30m_filt
d.rast elev_srtm_30m_filt
r.fillnulls input=elev_srtm_30m_filt output=elev_srtm_30m_complete tension=20
d.histogram elev_srtm_30m_complete
d.rast elev_srtm_30m_complete
