Description

• JSON configuration mut support two ways of specifying raster series:

  1. Explicitly defined series with start and end dates for each raster:

     {
          "raster_series": {
              "landuse": [
                  {
                      "file_path": "/path/to/first/years/raster.map",
                      "from": "start",
                      "to": "2034-12-31"
                  },
                  {
                      "file_path": "/path/to/final/years/raster.map",
                      "from": "2035-01-01",
                      "to": "end"
                  }
              ]
          }
     }

  2. Series defined by a directory with a common prefix for files:

     {
          "raster_series": {
              "landuse": {
                  "directory_path": "/path/to/raster/maps/series/",
                  "filenames_prefix": "lulc"
              }
          }
     }
