--estimation-method

e

Method used to estimate tile resolutions. One of:

• CALDER_RICE: Calder-Rice - Estimate resolution based on point density and coverage area.

• CARIS_DENSITY: Density - Estimate resolution based on point density and distribution.

• RANGE: Value Ranges - Assign resolutions based on a list of value ranges and associated resolution.

FALSE

This must be specified explicitly.

--extent

E

The extents that defines the window.

<LowerX> - A number specifying the lower left X origin in the coordinate reference system of the output.

<LowerY> - A number specifying the lower left Y origin in the coordinate reference system of the output.

<UpperX> - A number specifying the upper right X origin in the coordinate reference system of the output.

<UpperY> - A number specifying the upper right Y origin in the coordinate reference system of the output.

The unit is assumed to be that of the output's coordinate reference system, unless otherwise specified. When specifying units for unprojected data, an angle type unit is required. The order for unprojected coordinates is longitude followed by latitude. Supported units: cable, ch, cm, fm, ft, in, inm, km, m, mi, mm, nm, usfm, usft, usmi, usnm, usyd, yd, deg and rad.

If not set, the extents are computed from input data.

FALSE

--keep-partial-bins

If set, keeps estimated resolution values instead of adjusting to give an exact gridding of resolution tiles.

If not set, the default is to adjust resolution estimates by an exact gridding per tile.

FALSE

--max-grid-size

A number specifying the upper limit for the number of rows/columns each resolution tile can support.

The default value is 64. The valid range is 4 to 256.

The value must be larger than the MinGridSize.

FALSE

--min-grid-size

A number specifying the lower limit for the number of rows/columns each resolution tile can support.

The default value is 4. The valid range is 4 to 256.

The value must be smaller than the MaxGridSize.

FALSE

--output-crs

c

A string specifying the horizontal coordinate reference system key of the output.

If not set, the default is to use the reference system of the first source.

FALSE

--output-vertical-crs

A string specifying the vertical coordinate reference system key of the input.

No vertical transformation will be applied even if a value is specified. This value is only used as metadata on the output dataset.

The default value is Unknown.

FALSE

--include-flag

A string specifying a status flag to be included for the operation.

• ACCEPTED: Accepted status flag

• EXAMINED: Examined status flag

• OUTSTANDING: Outstanding status flag

• REJECTED: Rejected status flag

• SUPPRESSED: Suppressed status flag

TRUE

This must be explicitly specified.

EstimationMethod = CALDER_RICE Options

--area

The method used to estimate tile coverage area from a set of soundings. One of:

• SOUNDING: Sounding - Use an area estimate aggregated from individual sounding depths

• SWATH: Swath - Use an area estimate based on multibeam swath coverage and mean depth

• ELLIPTICAL: Elliptical - Use elliptical fitting to approximate the area of coverage

• BOX: Box - Use the bounding box of the soundings in each tile

The default value is SOUNDING.

SWATH is only available on point clouds imported from HDCS.

FALSE

--finest-resolution

A number specifying the smallest spacing between nodes.

The default value is 0.01 m. The valid range is 0 or greater.

Supported units: cable, ch, cm, fm, ft, in, inm, km, m, mi, mm, nm, usfm, usft, usmi, usnm, usyd and yd.

FALSE

-coarsest-resolution

A number specifying the largest spacing between nodes.

The default value is 1000 m. The valid range is a value greater than FinestResolution.

Supported units: cable, ch, cm, fm, ft, in, inm, km, m, mi, mm, nm, usfm, usft, usmi, usnm, usyd and yd.

FALSE

--supergrid-size

A number specifying the initial size of resolution tiles.

The default value is 32.0 m. The valid range is greater than 2 times the FinestResolution.

Supported units: cable, ch, cm, fm, ft, in, inm, km, m, mi, mm, nm, usfm, usft, usmi, usnm, usyd and yd.

FALSE

--points-per-cell

A number specifying the target number of points per cell to use for resolution estimation.

The default value is 20. The valid range is 2 to 1024.

FALSE

-beam-width

A number specifying the assumed width of a beam.

The default value is 1.0 deg. The valid range is 0 to 90 (non-inclusive). Supported units: degrees.

The value is used to compute area estimates when using SOUNDING and SWATH methods. It is ignored by ELLIPTICAL and BOX area estimates.

Supported units: deg and rad.

FALSE

EstimationMethod = CARIS_Density Options

--finest-resolution

A number specifying the smallest spacing between nodes.

The default value is 0.01 m.

Supported units: cable, ch, cm, fm, ft, in, inm, km, m, mi, mm, nm, usfm, usft, usmi, usnm, usyd and yd.

FALSE

--coarsest-resolution

A number specifying the largest spacing between nodes.

The default value is 1000 m.

Supported units: cable, ch, cm, fm, ft, in, inm, km, m, mi, mm, nm, usfm, usft, usmi, usnm, usyd and yd.

FALSE

--points-per-cell

A number specifying the target number of points per cell to use for resolution estimation

The default value is 20.

FALSE

EstimationMethod = RANGE Options

--input-band

i

A string specifying the name of the input band.

The value must exist in the first input source. If not, the primary elevation band of the first input source is used.

FALSE

--range-file

The path to a file specifying the value ranges and associated resolutions.

If no values are provided for RangeTable, this file will be used to populate the range option. Values are read as meters.

FALSE

--range-table

A pair of values describing an entry in the range table.

<Minimum> - Smallest value of the range being described.

<Resolution> - Resolution (in meters) to use at the specified range.

If any ranges are specified, RangeFile will be ignored. Depth values must be provided as negative heights.

TRUE

--range-method

The method used to classify a tile of points as belonging to a range. One of:

• MEAN: Mean - Use range containing the average value of the tile

• MODE: Mode - Use range with the highest number of values in the tile.

• PERCENTILE: Percentile - Use the range containing a specific percentile of the data from minimum value to maximum value.

The default value is PERCENTILE.

FALSE

--range-percentile

The percentile of data within a resolution tile, from minimum to maximum, that will be used to select a range.
