The Push to Ban Ransom Payments Is Gaining Momentum
Ransomware costs victims an estimated $30 billion per year and has gotten so out of control that global support for banning payments is gaining momentum.
node-hgt
Advanced tools
Readme
Read and query HGT files, for example from SRTM, for elevation data with high performance. Optionally, this module can also use cached and automatically download HGT files as required.
node-hgt tries to be reasonably performant. A rough benchmark shows it can do 1.8M elevation calculations per second on my years old laptop.
npm install --save node-hgt
Load and query a HGT file:
var hgt = new Hgt(__dirname + '/data/N57E011.hgt', [57, 11]);
// Return elevation in meters above sea level.
// By default, elevation is interpolated bilinearly.
hgt.getElevation([57, 11])
Use a cache directory of HGT files for querying. Missing data will be downloaded using the elevation data index from imagico.de, by default.
var tileset = new TileSet('./data/');
tileset.getElevation([57.7, 11.9], function(err, elevation) {
if (err) {
console.log('getElevation failed: ' + err.message);
} else {
console.log(elevation);
}
});
There's also a synchronous tile set, if you know before hand which area you will query:
var tileset = new SyncTileSet('./data/', [57, 11], [58, 12], function(err) {
if (err) {
console.log(err);
return;
}
// All tiles are loaded (or downloaded, if they were not already on disk)
// and queries can be made synchronous.
var elevation = tileset.getElevation([57.7, 11.9]);
console.log(elevation);
}
});
});
