Detailed Description

This class can be used to create an IRasterModel implementation that can read DTED (Digital Terrain Elevation Data).

See DtedModelDecoder.Decode for more details.

Since: 2023.0

Member Function Documentation

◆ Decode() [1/2]

static Luciad.Models.Rasters.IRasterModel Luciad.Formats.Dted.DtedModelDecoder.Decode ( string source )

inlinestatic

This method decodes:

individual DTED (Digital Terrain Elevation Data) files.
directories containing DTED files.
DMED (Digital Mean Elevation Data) files and any available corresponding DTED files.

Parameters

source The absolute path to the file or directory.

Returns: the decoded model for the source.

Exceptions

System.IO.IOException when decoding the source file fails.

See also: decode(const std.string&, const Options&)

◆ Decode() [2/2]

static Luciad.Models.Rasters.IRasterModel Luciad.Formats.Dted.DtedModelDecoder.Decode	(	string	source,
		Luciad.Formats.Dted.DtedModelDecoder.Options	options
	)

inlinestatic

This method decodes:

individual DTED (Digital Terrain Elevation Data) files.
directories containing DTED files.
DMED (Digital Mean Elevation Data) files and any available corresponding DTED files.

Input files

When decoding individual DTED files:

File	Entry point	Description
*.dt[012]	x	DTED file corresponding to a single cell of 1 degree by 1 degree.

When decoding directories containing DTED files:

File	Entry point	Description
dted/[we]???/[sn]??.dt[012]	x	DTED directory containing DTED files.

When decoding DMED files and any available corresponding DTED files.

File	Entry point	Description
dmed	x	DMED file referring to DTED files.
dted/[we]???/[sn]??.dt[012]	x	DTED directory containing DTED files.

Model reference

All models returned by this model decoder have a geodetic reference system.
The geodetic datum of this reference is WGS72 or WGS84.

Supported versions and specifications

MIL-D-89020B, Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED), NIMA, 23 May 2000

Limitations

The geoid datum EGM96 is not currently supported. When visualized, elevation data are interpreted as ellipsoidal heights.
DMED files are only used to retrieve the MBR (minimum bounding rectangle) encompassing the DTED cells contained in the DTED directory. No DMED raster is produced by decoding DMED files.

Example usage:

            var source = "Alps/dted/e008/n43.dt0";
 
            try
            {
                IRasterModel model = DtedModelDecoder.Decode(source);
 
                // ...
 
            }
            catch (IOException exception)
            {
                Console.Error.WriteLine("Failed to decode source '" + source + "': " + exception.Message);
            }
