Modulraster
Modulraster is a modular raster grid concept used to organize spatial or image data into repeatable, tile-like units called modules. Each module represents a fixed-size raster cell, typically square, though hexagonal variants can also be used. By assembling multiple modules, a larger, continuous raster is formed, enabling flexible resolution and easy tiling over geographic areas or image frames.
In a modulraster system, data organization follows a two-level scheme: the module index and the intra-module
Advantages of modulraster include scalable resolution, efficient storage through uniform tile sizes, and compatibility with tile-based
Applications span geographic information systems, remote sensing, urban planning, scientific visualization, and computer graphics. In GIS,
