Change region from BBOX to Polygon
« on: September 06, 2022, 02:01:40 PM »
Hi,

I'm trying to build DEM for a certain region, I drew a polygon around it created a border. However, when Building DEM it builds DEM for the whole BBOX.
Is there a way to build DEM only for the region inside the polygon??

Hello arafat,

Currently processing steps use the bounding box to limit the reconstruction area. But as a workaround you can crop DEM based on the polygonal shape switched to OuterBoundary.

Yes, that's what I do now.
But If the job has X shape then I'm wasting storage and time generating DEM in empty spaces (I'm using extrapolation - no images). I thought it would be better to create generate DEM only inside the boundary instead of BBOX.
