der-stefan / splat Goto Github PK

As far as I know, only @hoche is currently working on SPLAT!. There are still many many usability issues that make SPLAT! feel "90s". This is a collection of ideas:

• Drop srtm2sdf-hd and splat-hd by detecting resolution of input files (either by hand or by using gdal)
• Add support to input multiple files to srtm2sdf .*hgt
• Add support for standard geotiff as DEM inputs
• Use METRIC system as standard and standard coordinates for lon and lat (Greenwich = 0° - east=positive, west=negative or accept W/E format)
• Enable minimum power level AND maximum range (-erp 50 -dBm -db -10)
  => works fine, but the order of splat's arguments is important! Or just let the scale in the dcf file end at the desired minimum power.
• Option to remove the red tx site marker (instead, create e.g. GeoJSON file)
  => works already with given -kml argument
• Option to cut out resulting image to actual size (remove white/transparent padding)
• Transparency instead of white with -ngs option
• Write geotiffs directly with gdal library
• Radio Mobile includes a landuse layer that takes different scenarios into account. That is much more sophisticated than the global values in the LRP file. How difficult is it to add a similar feature? ⭐️
• Add HTML/Javascript map output as an instant viewer for the generated coverage image file
• Add plaintext output of used parameters at program start (useful to find wrong parameters e.g. if someone filled in the power in dBm instead of W.)
• Put all output files into an "out-%name" directory by default
• Add cmake toolchain
• Clean up folder and file structure

Update: Points that I am currently working on are marked.
