I'm getting more efficient, I've got a pretty good system worked out and I'm doing an LOD10 cell (64 autogen files) in about an hour now. scenProc is exponentially quicker than doing agn by hand in the annotator but it's still a very time-consuming process. If vegetation data were available in the form of a .shp file like the building footprints from MS it'd be a 10 minute job to do a whole state but I haven't been able to find any data for the areas I'm interested in so far.

Hi David. I downloaded six tiles in about 10 min from earthexplorer on 9/2 then I decided to add two more on the west end on 9/4. This is 60cm NAIP imagery, about 450 Mb each if you can't get them in .jp2 format (about 75 Mb each in .jp2 but they're not always available). The imagery has no restrictions on distribution. Most of the time I spent on this was in the "feature detection" for the autogen. About 4 days total.

 

BTW does the "N16" in your username indicate Centre Airpark in Pennsylvania?

I forgot to mention in the readme that the building footprints came from Microsoft, they can be downloaded here:

(scroll about halfway down the page and choose your state)

 

 

 

Also scenProc is available here, and a big thank you to Arno Gerretsen for scenProc and all his other contributions to the FS development community.
