NAME
pkinfo - Report basic information from raster datasets
SYNOPSIS
pkinfo -i input [options]
DESCRIPTION
pkinfo retrieves basic information about a raster data set (similar to gdalinfo(1)). An
important difference with gdalinfo is that pkinfo only reports the information that is
requested via the corresponding command line option, whereas gdalinfo provides all basic
information at once. The reported information is in a format that can be used as input
for other pktools utilities. This mechanism facilitates command substitution in the bash
scripting language.
OPTIONS
-i filename, --input filename
Input image file
-bb, --bbox
Shows bounding box
-te, --te

-a_srs, --a_srs
Shows projection of the image
-geo, --geo
Gets geotransform
-il, --interleave
-f, --filename
Shows image filename
-cover, --cover
Print filename to STDOUT if current image covers the provided coordinates via
bounding box, (x y) coordinates or extent of vector file
-x value, --xpos value
x pos
-y value, --ypos value
y pos

-nodata value, --nodata value
Sets no data value(s) for calculations (nodata values in input image)
EXAMPLE
show number of bands in raster image.tif
pkinfo -i image.tif -nb
show maximum value of band 1 (starting from 0) of raster image.tif
pkinfo -i image.tif -max -b 1
read (dump) upper left pixel value for bands 3,2,1
pkinfo -i image.tif -x 0 -y 0 -r -b 3 -b 2 -b 1
read (dump) pixel value at this geographic location (x,y) for bands 3,2,1
pkinfo -i image.tif -x 3528120 -y 4329681 -geo -r -b 3 -b 2 -b 1
show bounding box (-ulx -uly -lrx -lry) in geo coordinates for image1.tif
pkinfo -i image1.tif -b
show bounding box (-ulx -uly -lrx -lry) in geo coordinates for each image (and union and
intersect)
pkinfo -i image1.tif -i image2.tif -i image3.tif -b
show the reference pixel (centre of gravity) for image1.tif, treating 0 and 255 as NO
VALUE
pkinfo -i image1.tif --mask 0 --mask 255 -ref
read (dump) pixel value at image centre for band 0
pkinfo -i image.tif $(pkinfo -i image.tif -c) -geo -r
read (dump) pixel value in band 0 (default) for all images in current directory that cover
this geographic location
pkinfo $(for IMAGE in modis_2010*.tif; do pkinfo -i $IMAGE --cover -x 4215500 -y 2534000; done) -x 4215500 -y 253400
