GuidosToolbox (Graphical User Interface for the Description of image Objects and their Shapes - GTB) contains a wide variety of generic raster image processing routines, including related free software such as GDAL (to process geospatial data and to export them as raster image overlays in Google Earth), and FWTools (pre/post-process and visualize any raster or vector data). The GuidosToolbox Workbench (GWB) contains most popular image analysis modules setup as commandline-only scripts for automated mass-processing on Linux 64bit servers.
GTB, a collection of geometric analysis tools following three principles:
1. Spatial information: Where are hotspots/changes? Provide spatially explicit information, which is crucial for monitoring progress and spatial planning. Statistical summaries can always be derived from a map, but they do not capture the spatial variability of the spatial map product.
2. Quantitative indicators: How much? Provide intuitive, ideally normalized, indicators for effective reporting. Quantify the status and measure trends.
3. Generic and flexible: How? Make exclusive use of geometric concepts resulting in a generic reference framework that can be equally applied to any kind of raster data and at any scale; parameterize the analysis setup allowing to fine-tune the analysis to end-user requirements.
The graphical user interface of GuidosToolbox.
The image below shows a subset of image analysis modules in GuidosToolbox (more information can be found in the GuidosToolbox Manual). Please click on any of the light-blue rectangles to open the respective product sheet:
Feature summary:
Details on GTB are summarized in the workshop presentation GWS3, the GuidosToolbox Manual, or click on the icons below to view the GuidosToolbox
reference paper or download the overview presentation (pptx or small-size pdf).
GTB is free and open-source software.
Using the compiled versions of GTB requires accepting the GuidosToolbox End User Licence Agreement: EULA. The open source code of GTB and all dependencies is released under GPL version 3 on GitHub. GTB is available in the following options (revision history, see changelog):
1. GTB: GuidosToolbox - Desktop Application (current version: 3.3 Revision 4):
First download and read the GTB Installation instructions. They contain important additional information to ensure a correct installation and functioning of the application. Please always use the latest version to benefit from new features and bug-fixes. You can upgrade via the menu option Help → GTB Online → Check for Updates. Download and run the installer for your operating system (please use right-click - Save as and download the file to a local directory):
Linux: system installer: Fedora, Suse, Mageia, Debian/*buntu or the generic installer
macOS: GTB_macOS.dmg
MS-Windows: GTB_windows.exe
(or the archived, unsupported 32bit version GuidosToolbox2.7_32windows.exe)
To ensure the package integrity, compare the md5sum of your downloaded package against the GTB md5sum list.
At each start, GTB will test for and inform about new revision releases. To install a revision release, select: Help → GTB Online → Check for Updates and follow the instructions. Support will be provided for the current version only.
2. GWB: GuidosToolbox Workbench - Linux server (or desktop) application:
The GuidosToolbox Workbench (GWB) contains most popular image analysis modules extracted from GuidosToolbox and setup as commandline-only scripts for automated mass-processing on Linux 64bit servers. More information and download is available on the GWB website.
3. GWS: GuidosToolbox Workshop:
Information on this 1-3 day training course is summarized in the document GWS_Info.pdf.
The course material, composed of presentations and exercises, should be installed directly from within GTB (Help → GTB Online → GWS).
If you do not have GTB installed, you can download and browse through the pdf versions of the four workshop presentations (2024.06):
GWS1: Introduction and Motivation
GWS2: MSPA
GWS3: GTB Overview
GWS4: Training examples
The presentations provide details on the motivation, functioning and application fields of the different methodologies available in GTB. They are complemented by sample data and instructions to illustrate using these tools. The course material is designed for the 1-3 day GuidosToolbox Workshop but any interested GTB user can follow it as well.
Locations of past, upcoming, and future workshops/seminars are summarized on the GuidosToolbox Workshop page.
Note: GTB and GWB include MSPA (Morphological Spatial Pattern Analysis), a customized sequence of mathematical morphological operators targeted at the description of the geometry and connectivity of the image components. The MSPA website provides further information on MSPA features, application examples as well as links to download MSPA-plugins for GIS applications. GTB and GWB also include GraySpatCon, providing a series of moving window analysis schemes. A separate R-extension for GraySpatCon can be downloaded here.

Key features of version 3.3:
- Accounting in up to six object size class categories
- Custom-scale and multi-scale fragmentation analysis
- Measure ecosystem coherence
- Evaluate efficiency of restoration planning
- Grouping of resulting range into small/medium/large
- Recoding of image classes and much more...
1) Accounting: How much forest do we have? Where and how large are the forest patches? Visualization and statistics of image objects in up to six user-selected area categories plus three largest objects (pink).
2) Fragmentation - FAD: Where and how much fragmented is the forest cover? How does the degree of fragmentation change over different observation scales? Fragmentation analysis over 5 observation scales and providing 6 classes of fragmentation: Intact, Interior, Dominant, Transitional, Patchy and Rare foreground cover.
3) Restoration Planner: Which is the most efficient way to go from A to B? Automatically detect optimum restoration paths between user-selectable objects. Measure expense for restoration effort and assess the overall network coherence.
4) Restoration Planner: How efficient is a given restoration pathway? How much does it cost? How does it impact the coherence of the network? Use the Setup Tools to modify the landscape for your application needs. Insert custom shapes of habitat, blocking elements (i.e. motorways) and landcover specific resistance. Interactively add a restoration pathway to get instant feedback on expense and efficiency.
5) Distance - Influence zones: How far apart are patches from each other? Which separate patches may be functionally connected when impacted by a pest disease? Highlight core areas of minimum size and show outreach buffer zones.
6) Pattern - MSPA: Where are isolated small fragments, core areas, connecting pathways, and holes in intact forest areas? How often do they occur and what is their area? Show spatial distribution and statistics for morphological pattern classes and different type of openings inside foreground (median-grey: border-opening, dark-grey: core-opening). The Integrity of the integral foreground is 88.24% <=> 11.76% are Openings.
7) Pattern - SPAx: MSPA too complex? Less is more: How are the Core areas structured? Where and how many holes do we have? Use SPA3 to focus on Core area and Core-Openings; SPA5 to further distinguish inside and outside Core-boundaries; or SPA6 to additionally detect small fragments. Use MSPA for more elaborate analysis.
8) Change - Morphological Change Detection (MCD): Can you remove the spurious changes and show the essential change areas only? MCD showing gain, loss, unchanged foreground (dark) and background (light).
9) Landscape Mosaic: Which land cover type is dominant in which part of the landscape? Where do we find homogeneous land cover and where a strong intermix of different land cover types? Left: Showing for each pixel the relative proportions of 3 classes (here: Agriculture, Natural, Developed) at a user-selectable observation scale. Right: The heatmap summary showing the relative pixel occurence frequency in each mosaic category.
10) Google Earth overlays: Export/save your results as Google Earth image overlays. Click any of the maps below to open them in Google Earth on your PC:
