This program is intended for the automatic download of elevation data and orthophotos from Geoportal-Th.de. In addition, it is able to perform an elevation correction of the digital terrain and surface models as well as to merge the raster grids of a year.

The following section describes the installation of the program. Firstly, in case Anaconda is used and secondly, if it is not.

If you use anaconda you can use the enviroment.yml file to set up an environment in which the main and aux script can be used.

Start by cloning this repository to your local system.

Then enter the following two commands in the Anaconda Prompt.

cd "Path of the repository folder"
conda env create -f environment.yml

If you want to change the name of the environment, you must do so in the environment.yml file before you set up the environment.

Additional information about setting up environments using environment.yml files can be found here.

After you have set up the environment like this, it should be possible to use the main and aux script within it without any further action.

If you do not use Anaconda, you will have to manually install the packages that are imported at the beginning of the main and aux script. If you are not sure which version of a package to install and which Python version is appropriate, you can check the environment.yml file.

The documentation of the functions can be found here.
