Using Lidar to map tree shadows
This is ridiculously cool, demo is slick and fast! I work pretty extensively with tiling pipelines and GeoTiffs right now as I'm building out a mass repository and platform for historical map and aerial analysis (<a href="https://pastmaps.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pastmaps.com</a> - still very early so don't judge it too hard please)<p>As part of this work, I similarly hit problems with using the raw GeoTiff files as my source and found that I was able to build some custom tiling hooks into MapLibre coupled with http range queries on the static files hosted in S3 to bypass the need for tiling. It does push the compute to the clients but I've found it's actually pretty fast even on older mobile devices.<p>If this MapLibre GeoTiff source support is at all of interest, I'm happy to share some basic code or even open source some of that work. Here I was thinking I was the only weird dude on the internet messing with this stuff :D
