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