pyDATE (Digital Automatic Terrain Extractor) is a new software package able to generate Digital Surface Models (DSMs) from high resolution optical and SAR satellite imagery acquired by the most common sensors.
The main source code repository for this project is https://github.com/nascetti-a/test_pySisar It is written in Python. It was tested with Python 3.5, 3.6 in Linux and MacOS-X operating systems.
pyDATE requires libtiff development files. They can be installed with apt-get install libtiff-dev (Ubuntu, Debian) or brew install libtiff (macOS)
Once libtiff is installed, pyDATE can be install using Conda. Please use the following steps:
Create a new conda environment using the env.yml file
`conda env create -f envshort.yml `
To run pyDate please enter in the bin folder and run the program:
python pyDate.py config.json
An example of a configuration file is available in the bin folder (I will add a full description of all the possible parameters)
