slippy.surface.alicona_read

slippy.surface.alicona_read(full_path: str)

Reads .al3d and associated files made by alicona measurement machines

Will look for texture and icon images automatically, reads tags and depth data at a minimum from the al3d file.

Parameters

full_path (str) – The full path including extension to an al3d file

Returns

data – Actual keys depend on the data found: - ‘DepthData’ : Array of depth data with nan in place of invalid values - ‘TextureData’ : Array of texture data or image of the surface - ‘Header’ : Dict of tags read from the header - ‘Icon’ : Array of icon image data

Return type

dict

Notes

If the file name in full_path ends with (#) or # where # is an integer this function will look first for texture (#) or texture # etc. otherwise just texture will be found

This is a port of the matlab function from the Alicona file format reader (al3D) tool box
