pysl4land

Python tools to process spaceborne lidar (GEDI and ICESAT2) for land (pySL4Land) applications.

Supported Data Products

It is pretty straight forward to add suport for new data products but at the moment I've just implemented what I need therefore just the following products are supported.

GEDI

  • GEDI02_b

ICESAT-2

  • ALT08

Install

To install create a new python environment and install the following:

pip install geopandas
pip install h5py
pip install scipy

Download pysl4land release, extract and then run:

pip install .

if you want to install into another location using the --prefix option:

pip install . --prefix=/to/install/path

Run

You can then run with the following commands which will create geopackage files you can open within a GIS: For GEDI data:

pysl4landgeditools.py -i input_gedi.h5 -o output_gedi.gpkg

For ICESAT-2 data:

pysl4landicesat2tools.py -i input_icesat2.h5 -o output_icesat2.gpkg --polys

For ICESAT-2 WEAK/STRONG BEAMS ONLY:

pysl4landicesat2tools.py -i input_icesat2.h5 -o output_icesat2.gpkg --polys --strong_only
