## DESCRIPTION

t.rast.neighbors performs r.neighbors computations on the maps of a space time raster dataset (STRDS). This module supports a subset of options that are available in r.neighbors. The size of the neighborhood and the aggregation method can be chosen.

The user must provide an input and an output space time raster dataset and the basename of the resulting raster maps. The resulting STRDS will have the same temporal resolution as the input dataset. All maps will be processed using the current region settings.

The user can select a subset of the input space time raster dataset for processing using a SQL WHERE statement. The number of CPU's to be used for parallel processing can be specified with the nprocs option to speedup the computation on multi-core system.

## EXAMPLE

To smooth the maps contained in a space time dataset run:

    t.rast.neighbors input=tempmean_monthly output=smooth_tempmean_monthly \
                     basename=tmean_smooth size=5 method=average nprocs=4

    # show some info about the new space time dataset
    t.info smooth_tempmean_monthly
