dem2mapbox

Python scripts to convert a GeoTIFF DEM file to the mapbox terrain RGB format

How to use it

Use the mapboxTerrainMonothread.py script to run the encoder in a single thread or the mapboxTerrainMultithread.py script to run the encoder in multiple threads.

The first argument is a tif-encoded DEM file and the second one the name of the output file.

Changing the number of threads used

In order to change the number of threads used by the multithreaded version you can edit the script and change the threadedCols and threadedRows variables. The script will get the image and divide it by threadedCols*threadedRows tiles and assign a thread to each one of them.

Examples

python mapboxTerrainMultithread.py ./DEM.tif ./Mapbox.png

python mapboxTerrainMonothread.py ./DEM.tif ./Mapbox.png
