User Guide

You can specify your area of interest and other configuration in the config.json file at the root of the project :

{
  "bbox": "48.5748, 7.7383,48.5918, 7.7610",
  "LOD": 0,
  "default_height_range": [0, 0],
  "input_building_mesh": "mesh_lod1.msh",
  "output_name": "stras_city_flat_autorefineOFF_asyncON",
  "output_format": "msh",
  "verbose": false,
  "autorefine": false
}

Where:

  • bbox is the bounding box of the area of interest

  • LOD is the level of detail of the vegetation mesh

  • default_height_range is the default height range of the vegetation if this data is not available

  • input_building_mesh is the path to the building/terrain mesh

  • output_name is the name of the output file

  • output_format is the format of the output file

  • verbose is a boolean to enable verbose mode

  • autorefine is a boolean to enable autorefine mode to remove intersecting vegetation

1. Compilation

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

2. Execution

  • You need to have the terrain mesh at the root of the project

  • You need to have the metadata about the terrain mesh gis.jon at the root of the project so the program can extract the reference coordinates.

./build/src/applications/ktirio_geom_app_vegetation config.json

3. Output

Outputs are saved in the output folder at the root of the project. (folder is created automatically if needed)
