grid_pc

Tools to generate gridded products from LiDAR (airborne and satellite) point clouds

Warning! This package brand new, so don't expect it to work yet!

Quickstart

We recommend using pixi to install a locked software environment for executing code in this repository. Once installed, you can run scripts from a terminal:

git clone https://github.com/uw-cryo/grid_pc.git
cd grid_pc
pixi shell
pdal_pipeline notebooks/processing_extent.geojson notebooks/SRS_CRS.wkt notebooks/UTM_13N_WGS84_G2139_3D.wkt /tmp/dem

Installation

By default, pixi only manages dependencies required to run scripts in this respository, such as PDAL. However, you might also want to install optional libraries into the same environment such as GDAL command line tools:

pixi add gdal

Or Ames Stereo pipeline:

pixi project channel add nasa-ames-stereo-pipeline
pixi project channel add usgs-astrogeology
pixi add stereo-pipeline

Using pip

If you already have an environment you can install just the code in this library with pip:

pip install git+https://github.com/uw-cryo/grid_pc.git@main --no-deps
