Note : this is still a work in progress. Except first version at end of January 2067 (worst case). Let me know what you need
Digital Elevation Model samples in C#. GeoTiff file parsing and DEM querying. The goal is to provide on the fly DEM querying from GeoJSON or WKT geometries :
- No big RAM cache
- Fast and optimized data retrieval as precise as possible
- All incoming features are listed in the Issues here : https://github.com/xfischer/DEM.Net/issues. Feel free to suggest any idea you'd like to see covered here.
- Provide a simple sample for getting Height Maps (Unity based samples) and vizualising DEM as 3D meshes
- Provide a simple sample to drape a line onto a DEM
- If you have specific needs, let me know (create an issue)
(Work in progress) SampleApp is a Console App used for test purposes.
-
Use
new GeoTiffService().GenerateReport(DEMDataSet.AW3D30, <bounding box>)to download only necessary tiles using remote VRT file. -
Use
GeoTiffService.GenerateDirectoryMetadata(samplePath);to generate metadata files for your GeoTIFF tiles. These metadata files will be used as an index when querying Digital Elevation Model data.
- GeoTiff from http://www.opentopography.org Dataset used is "ALOS World 3D - 30m" : http://opentopo.sdsc.edu/lidar?format=sd&platform=Satellite%20Data&collector=JAXA For development and tests, files covering France were used.
- Not used yet but worth mentionning : For sea bed elevation : ETOPO1 Global Relief Model https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/global/global.html
