Hi,
as a part of an univarsity project i need to do the following with python:
- Convert DTM (tiff file) to a matrix of heights - matrix a
- Crop a mini DTM from the first one ans convert it to a matrix of heights - matrix b
- Display a 3D representation of matrix a with matrix b marked on it.
see Image
There is a way to do it with ArcPy? and if so what kind of license do i need?
you need an 'array' not a matrix... but in any event, you need
import numpy as np
import arcpy
arr = arcpy.RasterToNumPyArray(your_raster_layer_name)
From there you can slice the array to your desired size.
To normalize, you should use numpy functions to do the subtraction etc.
Finally, you can plot the array using matplotlib
