Process several LiDAR files

If you want to generate a map for a large area, you might need to process several LiDAR files together. You can do so by using the batch subcommand.

cassini batch

You will need to put your LiDAR files in a directory named in at the root of the directory in which you are executing Cassini. The output tiles and the merged map will be put in a directory named out. You can specify the input and output directories with the --input-dir and the --output-dir arguments.

If you are not happy with the result (too few cliffs, too much green…), you can modify the configuration and re-generate the map while skipping the LiDAR preprocessing step (which is the most time consuming part) with the --skip-lidar argument. Check the configuration reference to learn more about all the configuration options.
