demzip¶

Compresses and uncompresses raster data from ASC, BIL, TIF, IMG format to the compressed RasterLAZ format. The expected inputs are rasters containing elevation data such as DTM, DSM, or CHM rasters, or GEOID difference grids, or forestry metrics. These values will be compressed into the z coordinate of RasterLAZ.

demzip specific arguments¶

-class [n] : use point class [n]
-classification [n] : set classification to [n]
-nodata_max [n] : raster values [n] or above considered nodata
-nodata_min [n] : raster values [n] or below considered nodata
-nodata_value [n] : raster value [n] considered nodata
-scale [n] : set vertical resolution to [n] (meter/feet)
-sigmaxy [n] : horizontal accuracy expected at [n] meters (inactive)

Basics¶

-cores [n] : process multiple inputs on [n] cores in parallel
-h, -help : print help output
-v, -verbose : verbose output (print extra information)
-vv : very verbose output (print even more information)
-silent : only output on errors or warnings -quiet : no output at all -force : continue, even if serious warnings occur
-errors_ignore : continue, even if errors occur (if possible). Use with caution! -print_log_stats: print additional log statistics
-cpu64 : force 32bit version to start 64 bit in multi core (obsolete) -gui : start with files loaded into GUI
-version : reports this tool’s version number
