Generating UMEP inputs

The umepio package automatically generates the neccesary input data for running UMEP solver SOLWEIG in the Netherlands. It needs to be given a bounding box and an output folder and generates the files needed to run SOLWEIG_GPU.

Generate all the files at once.

    import umepio
    bbox = (94040,437614,94251,437797) #bounding box in Amersfoort / RD new
    inputs = umepio.generate_solweig_inputs(bbox, "test_output")

Generate some of the files as needed.

    # bounding box, path to output folder
    buildings = umepio.load_buildings(bbox, "test_output")

    # bounding box, buildings, path to output folder
    dtm, dsm, _ = umepio.load_dems(bbox, buildings, "test_output")

    # bounding box, dtm, dsm, trunk height, path to output folder
    chm = umepio.load_chm(bbox, dtm, dsm, 25, "test_output")

    # bounding box, path to output folder
    landcover = umepio.load_landcover(bbox, "output_folder")

The repository builds on the work done by Jessica Monahan, SOLFD (2025). The logic is the same but the code is reformatted and polished to work as a standalone pip package.
