Functionality
Our program usees the marching squares algorithm to create a vector contour map from a raster heightmap (DTM).
It outputs a geojson file that can be read by gis software. https://mapshaper.org/ is a simple website where you can view geojson files.
data structures and input/output
The HeightMap class stores the heightmap as a array on the heap. It was not nececarry to copy or move this class, so we did not implement copy or move constructors/assignment operators.
The Point class represents a point in a line. The points are stored in vectors, wich are again stored in a big vector containing all the lines.
The produce_cellmap function finds the points for a contour at a given elevation. The create_lines uses produce_cellmap the get the points and then sorts them into contiguous lines before returning a std::vector<std::vector<Point>>{.cpp} thats used by the function write_output_file to write them to a geojson file.
Performance
Functionality of special interest
Trygve
I can created a blur method that performs a simple box blur on the whole heigtmap. This is usefull to smooth out noise and create a more readable output. I wanted to implement a gaussion blur, and the code is ready for that, but in the end we became short on time.
