What problem does it solve?
This Skill automates the acquisition of USGS 3DEP LiDAR DEM data, colorizes terrain using satellite imagery, and prepares a Metashape-ready laser-scan LAS file to extend photogrammetry with surrounding bare-earth ground truth.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated DEM tile discovery, download, and mosaic from USGS 3DEP data
- Satellite colorization: sample and apply RGB from ESRI World Imagery to DEM-derived points
- LAS generation with color and CRS tagging suited for Metashape laser-scans and subsequent import
- Assists alignment QA and terrain extension for photogrammetry projects
Quick Start
Download USGS 3DEP DEM tiles for your area, colorize them with satellite imagery, and import the resulting colored LAS into the active Metashape chunk.
