QGIS – Finding Equivalent of ArcGIS Shift Tool

geotiff-tiffqgisraster

I'm looking for a tool or a plug-in for QGIS that would allow me to shift rasters to new coordinates. An equivalent of "Shift" tool in ArcGIS would be the best option.

I know I can edit the world file that comes along with the raster to do this, but some raster formats (like GeoTIFF) contain their metadata inside their binary format.

The Rasmover plugin should do what you want.

You have to allow for experimental plugins to get it in the plugin list.

The result is a virtual raster file, which you can edit with a text editor to adjust the parameters if needed.

[GIS] Display Georeferenced Images on Android

Look at MapsForge - I have implemented an extension to the overlays that displays georeferenced images (sadly it was for a client and I can't release the code but it was pretty easy).

[GIS] Apply r.neighbours or Neighbourhood analysis (LecoS plugin for QGIS) to 3000 rasters

Just quick, as i don't have the time to code sth. for you. You know that you can call GRASS and also SAGA modules in R?
For GRASS: spgrass6
For SAGA: RSAGA

Then you just read in all the files you need and build a loop to calculate the needed statistics.

library(raster)
library(RSAGA)
library(spgrass6)
ls <- lapply(list.files(".","*.tif"),FUN=raster)

for(i in ls){
  res <- doGRASS("r.neighbors") # like that
  res <- RSAGA::rsaga.filter.simple() # or that
  # you could write the result to a new file or use assign to save it as variable
}

However i would suggest to learn a bit python.
