## Who uses xDEM?
## Who is behind xDEM?

xDEM was created by a group of researchers with expertise in elevation data analysis for change detection applied to glaciology.

Nowadays, its development is **jointly led by researchers in elevation data analysis** (including funding from NASA and SNSF) **and
engineers from CNES** (French Space Agency).
It is used by scientists or industrials **across various fields of Earth observation**.

Most contributors and users are scientists or industrials working in **various fields of Earth observation**.

Based on recent and ongoing progress, we envision the following roadmap.

**Releases of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, etc**, for the following planned (ongoing) additions:
- The **addition of a command-line interface for features such as coregistration**, in the frame of the merging effort with [demcompare](https://github.com/CNES/demcompare),
- The **addition of an elevation point cloud `EPC` data object**, inherited from the ongoing `PointCloud` object of GeoUtils alongside many features at the interface of point and raster,
- The **addition of an Xarray accessor `dem`** mirroring the `DEM` object, to work natively with Xarray objects and add support on out-of-memory Dask operations for most of xDEM's features,
- The **addition of an GeoPandas accessor `epc`** mirroring the `EPC` object, to work natively with GeoPandas objects,
- The **addition of a Xarray accessor `dem`** mirroring the `DEM` object, to work natively with Xarray objects and add support on out-of-memory Dask operations for most of xDEM's features,
- The **addition of a GeoPandas accessor `epc`** mirroring the `EPC` object, to work natively with GeoPandas objects,
- The **re-structuration of uncertainty analysis features** to rely directly on SciKit-GStat's `Variogram` object.

**Release of 1.0** once all these additions are fully implemented, and after feedback from the community.
