globato 0.2.8

A suite of specialized data processors (Multibeam, Lidar, Raster), etc. for the Fetchez ecosystem.

GloBaTo

Domo Arigato, Multi-Resolution Globato.

Globato is the user-facing geospatial engine of the Continuous-DEMs ecosystem. It is designed for the rapid development, blending, and processing of high-accuracy Topo-Bathy Digital Elevation Models (DEMs).

Built on top of the fetchez (orchestration) and transformez (horizontal and vertical datums) libraries, globato abstracts away the complexity of DEM development. It allows users to generate massive, seamless DEMs using declarative YAML recipes or intuitive command-line tools.

❓ Why Globato?

Traditional DEM generation is often a disjointed, manual process of hunting down, organizing and processing disparate datasets using a wide variety of software and one-off processing scripts.

Globato standardizes this workflow by unifying data fetching, spatial filtering, datum transformations, and gridding into a single, memory-safe streaming pipeline. Using declarative YAML recipes, it allows you to orchestrate massive, reproducible Topo-Bathy DEMs directly from your terminal!

📦 Installation

Install via pip (this will automatically pull in the fetchez and transformez dependencies):

pip install globato

🐄 Quickstart

If you are new to Globato, the best place to start is the Quickstart guide, which will take you from installation to generating your first DEM in under 5 minutes.

• Quickstart: From Zero to DEM in 1 arc-second
