Vector files

From LiDAR data, Cassini will only generate elevation contours , vegetation densities and cliffs. Human-related features (paths, roads, buildings…), and some water-related features (rivers, lakes…), should be generated from other data sources. Cassini can process these data from Shapefile files.

As for now, only OpenStreetMap ‘s data are supported. Cassini will automatically download them during the map generation process, so you don’t have to download them manually yourself.

Only a small subset of ISOM symbols are supported now. Below is the list of supported symbols:

  • 308 marsh
  • 301 uncrossable body of water
  • 521 building
  • 502 wide road
  • 503 road
  • 505 footpath
  • 304 crossable watercourse

In the future, Cassini will support other data sources via user defined configuration files.
