Feature/data request: Please support North Rhine-Westphalian vegetation data too

[haukepribnow]

Nordrhein-Westfalen seems to provide laser scanning 3D data that could (hopefully) be used by OpenPV too: https://www.bezreg-koeln.nrw.de/geobasis-nrw/produkte-und-dienste/hoehenmodelle/3d-messdaten

I considered working on getting this data into OpenPV via a pull request, but I wasn't able to find the code for processing the laser scanning data to WEBP and getting it uploaded to the OpenPV site at the right location:

website/src/simulation/elevation.js

Line 326 in 75fd0f7

'https://vegetation.openpv.de/data/vegetation/{z}/{x}/{y}.webp',

Therefore, all I (think I) can do is to raise this feature/data request. If I overlooked anything and there actually is a way for me to become proactive on this topic, please let me know.

(And just for reference/documentation: The condition that checks for Bavaria will need to be relaxed when the NRW data gets implemented.)

Hi @haukepribnow,
sorry for the late reply. As you found out by yourself, the data part is separated from the frontend code. We know about the available Laser Scan data from NRW and have it on our list - right now we just don't have that much time to work on the issue.

Is there any way to support you on this?

I guess you could create a bash script (or something else) to download all the files from https://www.opengeodata.nrw.de/produkte/geobasis/hm/3dm_l_las/3dm_l_las/ for saving them locally. I think our scripts could then transform that to the needed vegetation 3d data. However I'm not too sure, since @khdlr did most of the vegetation data stuff at the time.
