Supported formats and drivers

A single transform entry point accepts a range of raster and point-cloud formats. The input format is detected automatically, and the corresponding file-specific routine is dispatched. The detection order is reflected below.

Detected formats

• Variable-resolution BAG is detected first and handled by transform_vrbag().

• GeoParquet point data is handled by transform_geoparquet().

• LAZ point clouds are handled by transform_laz().

• NPZ point arrays are handled by transform_npz().

• XYZ point text is handled by transform_xyz().

• GDAL-supported rasters (for example GeoTIFF) are handled by transform_raster().

• PDAL-supported point clouds are handled by transform_pdal() as a final fallback.

When an input matches none of the supported types, NotImplementedError is raised.

Driver modules

The format-specific reading and writing logic is organized under the vyperdatum.drivers package. The full driver API is generated in the vyperdatum reference. The raster path additionally relies on the raster and spatial helpers under vyperdatum.utils.

Notes on the raster path

The raster path applies the cutline two-pass pipeline and the same-CRS requirement described in Raster transformation. Point-cloud drivers are not subject to the same-horizontal-CRS restriction and are the recommended route when a horizontal CRS change is required.
