AutoMNT è un software per creare Digital Elevation Models (DEM) partendo da scansioni di mappe topografiche. Tra le features principali del programma:
- Multi-layers interface to manage original map, extracted contours and elevation grid - Common classical image editing tools (zoom, hand, selection, pen, eraser, lines etc.) - Support every common image formats (JPEG, PNG, PGM, PNM, BMP, GIF ...) - Import/Export USGS 7'5 DEM files, Terragen, Raw Matrix (ASCII or binary with HDR header compatible with 3DEM), VRML 2.0 - Plug-in based architecture through a DLL mechanism (a Development Kit is coming) - Contour lines extraction from map through differents filters - Contour lines reconstruction and edition - Tools to semi-auto set contour lines's elevations - Contour lines interpolation with different methods like geodesic distances, Partial Differential Equations, Inverse Distance Weighted Averaging, Radial Basis Functions and kriging - Elevations related tools - Embossing filter to preview the terrain rendering - Realtime 3D visualization and navigation with the Level of Detail (LOD) Duchaineau's `Realtime Optimally-Adapting Meshes' (ROAM) algorithm included (need an OpenGL graphic card) - Lot of other features...
