openModeller Desktop is a generic framework for carrying out fundamental niche modelling experiments - typically used to predict species distribution given a set of environmental raster layers. The openModeller Desktop application builds on the openModeller library by providing a user friendly graphical user interface for carrying out niche modelling experiments.
- A layerset manager. This is for creating named collections of layers for use in modelling experiments. Having layers organised in named sets removes the tedium of repeatedly having to select layers from the file system for different model runs.
- An algorithm profile manager. Algorithm profiles let you store the custom parameters you use for running models in a reusable way.
- An experiment designer. The experiment designer allows you to set up an experiment consisting of multiple species and algorithm profiles.
- Many more features.
Version 1.0.7: Changes:
openModeller Library
- Support changes and new features in openModeller 0.5.3
Options
- Added user option to allow / disallow use of threading in experiment.
Layer Set Manager
- Let the layer count label show an appropriate value when a new layerset is created.
- Don't let the user apply a new layerset before the name field is populated.
Algorithm Manager
- Use spinbox for float and real number inputs.
- Show parameter descriptions as text labels as well as tooltips.
Raster output
- Fixes for pseudo renderer with QGIS api changes.
- Use QGIS lib to draw pseudocolor preview image.
- Scale pseudocolor to min / max based on image format min / max ranges and not to the range of values containe in the raster itself. Now all model outputs are scaled to the same value range and are more comparable.
- Use GDAL to write ascii grids rather than my hand carved code to do this - should prevent issues with running out of memory and subsequent crashing.
Data fetcher
- Better error handling for when a data fetcher plugin cant be initialised (no more crash).
- Removed the legacy GBIF plugin - only GBIF Rest plugin will be used now.
- Fixed a bug where plugins were not working in windows in debug build.
Reports
- Fix to remove artifacts from thumbnails.
- Fixed logic error where AUC and other stats were being set in model projection instead of model reation.
- Show cutoff threshold used for model stats.
Experiment designer, locality options
- Added options for spatially and environmentally unique occurrence filtering to model class.
Running experiments
- Delete log file before running an experiment.
- Fix crash when trying to view model previews while experiment is running (dont delete raster in omggdal because its managed by registry).
- Prevent a crash with zero length string for rawimage filename.
- Crash fix and cosmetics improvement - when clicking a not yet run model, show a message rather than trying to load its map even though the raster does not yet exist.
