Roofer v1.0 overview

[Ylannl]

• Transfer necessary function for building reconstruction from geoflow code (mostly gfp-building-reconstruction) and untangle from geoflow architecture. No big refactoring yet.
• Build up and test building reconstruction pipeline (ie. what used to be reconstruct flowchart)
• Make executable programs (crop and reconstruct) for running reconstruction pipeline by end user feature complete. Should be usable as drop in replacement for current geoflow reconstruct flowchart.
• Develop API
  • C++ API #7 Simple C++ api that wraps the basic building reconstruction pipeline
  • Python API #13
• Refactor code. Focus on common datatypes, minimise code duplication etc.
  • Update ArrangementOptimiser to latest CGAL api
  • remove proj dependency
  • Consistent logging
    • compile flag to turn off logging and remove dependency
    • make logging backend easily replaceable (Logging library #14)
  • Revise cmake build system, dependency management (vcpkg?) and project folder structure (Refactor the project layout #18)
  • test and set minimal versions for cmake dependencies + only require dependencies if targets are requested that need them
  • put everything in roofer namespaces
  • License in header of each file
  • consistent coding style (see how to set up clang-tidy and clang-format https://github.com/3DGI/roofer-dev/tree/develop/experiments/clang-tools) (Refactor the project layout #18)
  • update val3dity to current version (possibly need to refactor val3dity itself)
  • integrate jemalloc mimalloc
  • fix "Warning 1: Layer 'geom' has been declared with non-Z geometry type Polygon, but it does contain geometries with Z. Setting the Z=2 hint into gpkg_geometry_columns" in VectorWriter
• Improvements to handle very large input data without needing a separate pre-tiling step
  • Handle arbitrarily large inputs efficiently with crop app #8
  • Multithreading in reconstruct app #9
  • Test with real large data on gilfoyle
• Improve error handling roofer app
  • don't crash if a building reconstruction fails but throw exception and continue reconstruction with next buildings/tiles.
  • output failed building with attribute reconstruction_status='failed'
• Design + implement I/O efficient file format for CityJSON Sequences #10
• Polish apps
  • Check if output paths exits and are writable prior to do expensive computations
  • Update cli parameters/usage
  • integrate crop/reconstruct apps into roofer
• Documentation v1.0 #34
• Automated testing
  • Integration tests of the apps (Refactor the project layout #18)
  • Test that the app installation is done correctly (Refactor the project layout #18)
  • make default ctest tests succeed without install
