AutoMNT v.0.9b2

AutoMNT v.0.9b2

AutoMNT is a software to create Digital Elevation Models (DEM) from scanned topographic maps for Windows.

Here are most relevant features of the software:

• 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)
• Plug-in based architecture through a DLL mechanism (a Development Kit is coming)
• Contour lines extraction from map through differents filters
• Contour lines reconstruction
• 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
• 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...
