Terrain-Toolkit: A Multi-Functional Tool for Terrain Data
Summary: Terrain-Toolkit is a multi-functional terrain data toolkit supporting diverse formats, terrain simplification, and a surface distance operator. Unlike visualization-only tools, it targets data-management needs for spatial querying by enabling format interoperability, efficient simplification, and a core distance primitive.
