Application for converting between geospatial raster formats.

Requirements

  • gdal >= 3.1
  • Python >= 3.6

Overview

geoconverter is an application built for simple conversion between geospatial raster formats. It leverages gdal for handling the geospatial rasters and a fork of cesium-terrain-builder for cesium terrain formats.

Features

  • Correctly handles dtype conversion via correctly checking the min and max of raster bands and rescaling appropriately. This is possible via gdal_translate but you will need to manually find the min and max of the raster bands and specify it via the -scale parameter. Geoconverter does this automatically.
  • Supports cesium terrain formats. Using the cesium-terrain-builder (fork), geoconverter is also able to convert DEM rasters to cesium compatible terrain and quantized mesh formats.
  • Supports percentile contrast enhancement.
  • Provides a simple GUI.
