classmethod Raster.from_pointcloud_regular(pointcloud, grid_coords=None, transform=None, shape=None, nodata=None, data_column_name='b1', area_or_point='Point')[source]#

Create a raster from a point cloud with coordinates on a regular grid.

To inform on what grid to create the raster, either pass a tuple of X/Y grid coordinates, or the expected transform and shape. All point cloud coordinates must fall exactly at one of the coordinates of this grid.

Parameters:
  • pointcloud (GeoDataFrame) – Point cloud.

  • grid_coords (tuple[ndarray[Any, dtype[Union[floating[Any], integer[Any]]]], ndarray[Any, dtype[Union[floating[Any], integer[Any]]]]]) – Regular coordinate vectors for the raster, from which the geotransform and shape are deduced.

  • transform (Affine) – Geotransform of the raster.

  • shape (tuple[int, int]) – Shape of the raster.

  • nodata (int | float | None) – Nodata value of the raster.

  • data_column_name (str) – Name to use for point cloud data column, defaults to “bX” where X is the data band number.

  • area_or_point (Literal['Area', 'Point']) – Whether to set the pixel interpretation of the raster to “Area” or “Point”.

Return type:

TypeVar(RasterType, bound= Raster)
