Welcome to demcompare documentation!

Demcompare is a python software that aims at comparing two DEMs together.

Demcompare has several benefits:

  • Works whether or not the two DEMs share common format projection system, planimetric resolution, and altimetric unit.

  • Performs the coregistration based on the Nuth & Kääb universal coregistration method.

  • Computes the statistics on an input DEM, or on the difference of two input DEMs.

  • Provides a wide variety of standard metrics and allows one to classify the DEMs to obtain statistics by class.

A comparison report can be compiled as html or pdf documentation with statistics printed as tables and plots.
