---

## ✨ What's New in v2.5.3

### 🔧 Critical Fix: Ground Truth Classification

**v2.5.3 fixes critical issues with BD TOPO® ground truth classification.**

#### What Was Fixed

Ground truth classification from IGN BD TOPO® wasn't working - no points were being classified to roads, cemeteries, power lines, etc.

**Root Causes:**

- Incorrect class imports (`MultiSourceDataFetcher` → `DataFetcher`)
- Missing BD TOPO feature parameters (cemeteries, power_lines, sports)
- Missing buffer parameters (road_width_fallback, etc.)
- Wrong method call (`fetch_data()` → `fetch_all()`)

**Impact:** Ground truth now works correctly for all ASPRS codes:

- ✅ ASPRS 11: Roads
- ✅ ASPRS 40: Parking
- ✅ ASPRS 41: Sports Facilities
- ✅ ASPRS 42: Cemeteries
- ✅ ASPRS 43: Power Lines

#### What Was Added

**New BD TOPO® Configuration Directory** (`ign_lidar/configs/data_sources/`)

Pre-configured Hydra configs for different use cases:

- `default.yaml` - General purpose with core features
- `asprs_full.yaml` - Complete ASPRS classification
- `lod2_buildings.yaml` - Building-focused for LOD2
- `lod3_architecture.yaml` - Architectural focus for LOD3
- `disabled.yaml` - Pure geometric features

**Usage:**

```yaml
defaults:
  - data_sources: asprs_full # or lod2_buildings, lod3_architecture
  - _self_
```

📖 See `ign_lidar/configs/data_sources/README.md` for complete documentation

---

### 📦 Previous Updates (v2.5.0-2.5.2)

**v2.5.0 represented a complete internal modernization while maintaining 100% backward compatibility!**

#### Unified Feature System ✨

- **FeatureOrchestrator**: New unified class replaces FeatureManager + FeatureComputer
- **Simpler API**: One class handles all feature computation with automatic strategy selection
- **Better organized**: Clear separation of concerns with strategy pattern
- **Fully compatible**: All existing code works without changes

#### Improved Code Quality

- **67% reduction** in feature orchestration code complexity
- **Optimized error messages** and validation throughout

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Installation

```bash
# Standard installation (CPU)
pip install ign-lidar-hd

# Optional: GPU acceleration (6-20x speedup)
# CRITICAL: Use ign_gpu conda environment for GPU operations
conda env create -f conda-recipe/environment_gpu.yml
```

> **⚠️ GPU Users**: Always run GPU operations with:
>
> ```bash
> conda run -n ign_gpu python <script.py>
> ```
>
> See [GPU_QUICK_REFERENCE.md](GPU_QUICK_REFERENCE.md) for details.

### Zero-Config Quick Start (v5.5+)

The **simplest way** to get started - no configuration file needed!

```bash
# Download sample data
ign-lidar-hd download --bbox 2.3,48.8,2.4,48.9 --output data/ --max-tiles 5

# Process with automatic hardware detection (GPU or CPU)
ign-lidar-hd process input_dir=data/ output_dir=results/

# That's it! The system automatically:
# ✅ Detects GPU/CPU and optimizes accordingly
# ✅ Uses optimal settings for your hardware
# ✅ Selects appropriate feature set
# ✅ Configures memory and batch sizes
```

### Configuration-Based Processing (v5.5+)

For advanced workflows, use the **3-tier configuration system** (97% smaller configs!):

```bash
# Use hardware profile + task preset
ign-lidar-hd process \
  --config-name my_config \
  defaults=[hardware/gpu_rtx4080,task/asprs_classification]

# Or use one of our example configs
ign-lidar-hd process --config-path examples --config-name config_asprs_bdtopo_cadastre_gpu_v5.5

# List available profiles and presets
ign-lidar-hd list-profiles   # Shows: gpu_rtx4080, gpu_rtx3080, cpu_high, etc.
ign-lidar-hd list-presets    # Shows: asprs_classification, lod2_buildings, etc.

# Validate your configuration
ign-lidar-hd validate-config examples/my_config.yaml
```

### Legacy CLI (v5.4 and earlier)

The traditional command-based CLI still works for backward compatibility:

```bash
# Enrich with features (GPU accelerated if available)
ign-lidar-hd enrich --input-dir data/ --output enriched/ --use-gpu

# Create training patches
ign-lidar-hd patch --input-dir enriched/ --output patches/ --lod-level LOD2
```

### Python API

```python
from ign_lidar import LiDARProcessor

# Option 1: Zero-config with automatic hardware detection
processor = LiDARProcessor()  # Uses intelligent defaults
patches = processor.process_tile("data.laz", "output/")

# Option 2: With configuration file (recommended for production)
processor = LiDARProcessor(config_path="examples/config_asprs_bdtopo_cadastre_gpu_v5.5.yaml")
patches = processor.process_directory("input_dir/", "output_dir/")

# Option 3: Traditional explicit parameters (legacy)
processor = LiDARProcessor(lod_level="LOD2", patch_size=150.0, use_gpu=True)
patches = processor.process_tile("data.laz", "output/")
```

### 📊 Before & After Comparison

```yaml
# ❌ v5.4 Configuration (430 lines, manually specified everything)
input_dir: /data/tiles
output_dir: /data/output
preprocess:
  buffer_size: 50.0
  normalize_intensity: true
  handle_overlap: true
processor:
  use_gpu: true
  use_gpu_chunked: true
  gpu_batch_size: 5000000
  lod_level: LOD2
  num_neighbors: 30
  search_radius: 3.0
features:
  mode: lod2
  k_neighbors: 10
  compute_normals: true
  compute_curvature: true
  compute_eigenvalues: true
  # ... 400+ more lines ...

# ✅ v5.5 Configuration (15 lines, inherits intelligent defaults)
defaults:
  - hardware/gpu_rtx4080     # Hardware optimization
  - task/asprs_classification # Task-specific settings
  - _self_

input_dir: /data/tiles
output_dir: /data/output

# That's it! Everything else is inherited
```

**Result:** 97% size reduction (430 lines → 15 lines) while gaining more capabilities!

### 🏗️ 3-Tier Architecture

```
Layer 1: base_complete.yaml (430 lines)
    ↓ [All defaults defined]
    ├─ Layer 2: Hardware Profiles (30-50 lines each)
    │   ├─ gpu_rtx4080.yaml     - RTX 4080: 16GB VRAM, 5M batch
    │   ├─ gpu_rtx3080.yaml     - RTX 3080: 10GB VRAM, 3M batch
    │   ├─ cpu_high.yaml        - 64GB RAM, 8 workers
    │   └─ cpu_standard.yaml    - 32GB RAM, 4 workers
    │
    └─ Layer 3: Task Presets (20-40 lines each)
        ├─ asprs_classification.yaml  - Full ASPRS with BD TOPO®
        ├─ lod2_buildings.yaml        - Fast building classification
        ├─ lod3_architecture.yaml     - Detailed architectural features
        └─ quick_enrich.yaml          - Minimal features, maximum speed
```

**How it works:**

1. **base_complete.yaml** - Complete default configuration (you never edit this)
2. **Hardware profiles** - Override only hardware-specific settings (GPU/CPU, memory, workers)
3. **Task presets** - Override only task-specific settings (features, classification, output)
4. **Your config** - Override only project-specific settings (paths, tile list)

### 🚀 Common Usage Patterns

#### Pattern 1: Zero-Config (Automatic Everything)

```bash
# Just specify input/output - everything else is automatic!
ign-lidar-hd process input_dir=data/ output_dir=results/
```

#### Pattern 2: Hardware Profile Only

```bash
# Optimize for your GPU
ign-lidar-hd process \
  defaults=[hardware/gpu_rtx4080] \
  input_dir=data/ \
  output_dir=results/
```

#### Pattern 3: Hardware + Task Preset

```bash
# Complete workflow with both optimizations
ign-lidar-hd process \
  defaults=[hardware/gpu_rtx4080,task/asprs_classification] \
  input_dir=data/ \
  output_dir=results/
```

#### Pattern 4: Custom Configuration File

```yaml
# my_config.yaml (minimal!)
defaults:
  - hardware/gpu_rtx4080
  - task/lod2_buildings
  - _self_

input_dir: /data/versailles
output_dir: /data/results
processor:
  tile_list: ["tile_001", "tile_002"] # Only override what's different!
```

```bash
ign-lidar-hd process --config-name my_config
```

### 🔍 Configuration Discovery

**New CLI commands** help you explore available options:

```bash
# List available hardware profiles
ign-lidar-hd list-profiles
# Output:
#   gpu_rtx4080    - RTX 4080 optimized (16GB VRAM)
#   gpu_rtx3080    - RTX 3080 optimized (10GB VRAM)
#   cpu_high       - High-end CPU (64GB RAM, 8 workers)
#   cpu_standard   - Standard CPU (32GB RAM, 4 workers)

# List available task presets
ign-lidar-hd list-presets
# Output:
#   asprs_classification - Full ASPRS with BD TOPO® ground truth
#   lod2_buildings       - Fast building classification (12 features)
#   lod3_architecture    - Detailed architectural features (38 features)
#   quick_enrich         - Minimal features for fast processing

# Show complete resolved configuration
ign-lidar-hd show-config --config-name my_config

# Validate configuration before running
ign-lidar-hd validate-config my_config.yaml
# Output: ✓ Configuration validated successfully
#         - Processor settings: OK
#         - Feature configuration: OK
#         - Data sources: OK
#         - Output settings: OK
```

### ✅ Configuration Validation

v5.5 includes **comprehensive validation** that catches errors before processing:

```bash
# Validate any configuration file
ign-lidar-hd validate-config examples/my_config.yaml

# Example validation output:
# ✓ Configuration validated: examples/my_config.yaml
#
# Validation Results:
# ✓ Processor configuration: OK
#   - LOD level: LOD2 (valid)
#   - GPU batch size: 5000000 (valid range)
#   - Num neighbors: 30 (valid range)
#
# ✓ Feature configuration: OK
#   - Mode: lod2 (valid)
#   - K-neighbors: 10 (valid range)
#
# ✓ Data sources: OK
#   - 3 sources configured
#
# ✓ Output configuration: OK
#   - Format: npz (valid)
```

**Validation checks:**

- ✅ Required sections present (processor, features, data_sources, output)
- ✅ Required keys in each section
- ✅ Enum values (LOD level, feature mode, output format, etc.)
- ✅ Numeric ranges (batch size, k-neighbors, search radius, etc.)
- ✅ GPU settings compatibility
- ✅ Path validity and accessibility

**Benefits:**

- 🎯 **Catch errors early** - Before long processing runs
- 💡 **Helpful suggestions** - "Did you mean 'LOD2'?" for typos
- 📊 **Clear reporting** - See exactly what's wrong and where
- 🔧 **Pre-flight checks** - Validate before submitting to cluster

---

## 💡 Usage Examples

### Mode 1: Create Training Patches (Default)

```bash
# Using example config
ign-lidar-hd process \
  --config-file examples/config_training_dataset.yaml \
  input_dir=data/raw \
  output_dir=data/patches

# Or with CLI parameters
ign-lidar-hd process \
  input_dir=data/raw \
  output_dir=data/patches \
  processor.processing_mode=patches_only
```

### Mode 2: Both Patches & Enriched LAZ

```bash
ign-lidar-hd process \
  --config-file examples/config_complete.yaml \
  input_dir=data/raw \
  output_dir=data/both
```

### Mode 3: LAZ Enrichment Only

```bash
ign-lidar-hd process \
  --config-file examples/config_quick_enrich.yaml \
  input_dir=data/raw \
  output_dir=data/enriched
```

> **⚠️ Note on Enriched LAZ Files:** When generating enriched LAZ tile files, geometric features (normals, curvature, planarity, etc.) may show artifacts at tile boundaries due to the nature of the source data. These artifacts are inherent to tile-based processing and **do not appear in patch exports**, which provide the best results for machine learning applications. For optimal quality, use `patches_only` or `both` modes.

### GPU-Accelerated Processing

```bash
ign-lidar-hd process \
  --config-file examples/config_gpu_processing.yaml \
  input_dir=data/raw \
  output_dir=data/output
```
