icepy4d 1.4.0

4D Image-based Continuos monitoring of glaciers Evolution with low-cost stereo-cameras and Deep Learning photogrammetry.

Welcome to ICEpy4D

4D Image-based Continuos monitoring of glaciers' Evolution with low-cost stereo-cameras and Deep Learning photogrammetry.

ICEpy4D is a under active development.

Installation guide

Requirements

• 64-bit Python >= 3.8 but < 3.10
• a NVIDIA graphic card with CUDA capability is strongly reccomended.

Create Anaconda environment

conda create -n icepy4d python=3.8
conda activate icepy4d

Install gdal for raster manipulation

First, install gdal, which is required for building and manipulating orthophotos and DSMs. As the dependacies of gdal, are quite strict, it is suggested to install it first with conda. If you don't intend to build orthophotos and DSM, you can skip this step (be careful to remove rasterio from requirements.txt as well in order to avoid unsatisfied dependencies).

conda update -n base -c conda-forge conda
conda install -c conda-forge gdal

Check that gdal is correctly installed with:

python -c "from osgeo import gdal"

Install Pytorch

Install pythorch following the official guidelines (https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/). Be careful to select the correct CUDA version as that installed on your system.

pip3 install torch --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu116

Install other required packages

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Various

• If you intend to use Jupyter Notebooks for running main scripts, install jupyterlab with

pip3 install jupyterlab

• When using VScode and Matplotlib, use TkAgg as interactive backend.

Install ICEpy4D

Install ICEpy4D package by running from the root folder

pip install -e .

and try to import it

conda activate icepy4d
python -c "import icepy4d"

If no error is given, ICEpy4D is successfully installed and it can be imported with import icepy4d
