  • Added the BreachDepressionsLeastCost tool, which performs a modified form of the Lindsay
    and Dhun (2015) impact minimizing breaching algorithm. This modified algorithm is very
    efficient and can provide an excellent method for creating depressionless DEMs from large
    DEMs, including those derived from LiDAR. It is particularly well suited to breaching
    through road embankments, approximately the pathway of culverts.
  • The FillDepressions tool algorithm has been completely re-developed. The new algorithm is
    significantly faster than the previous method, which was based on the Wang and Lui method.
    For legacy reasons, the previous tool has been retained and renamed FillDepressonsWangAndLui.
    Notice that this new method also incorporates significantly improved flat area correction
    that maintains general flowpaths of filled areas.
  • The Sink and DepthInSink tools have been updated to use the new depression filling algorithm.
  • Added the ClassifyBuildingsInLidar tool to reclassify LiDAR points within a LAS file
    to the building class value (6) that are located within one or more building footprint
    contained in an input polygon vector file.
  • Added the NaturalNeighbourInterpolation tool for performing Sibson's (1981) interpolation
    method on input point data.
  • Added the UpslopeDepressionStorage tool to estimate the average upslope depression
    storage capacity (DSC).
  • Added the LidarRfbInterpolation tool for performing a radial basis function interpolation
    of LiDAR data sets.
  • The WhiteboxTools Runner user interface has been significantly improved (many thanks to
    Rachel Broders for these contributions).
  • Fixed a bug in which the photometric interpretation was not being set by certain raster
    decoders, including the SAGA encoder. This was causing an error when outputting GeoTIFF
    files.
  • Updated the ConstructVectorTIN and TINGridding tools to include a maximum triangle edge
    length to help avoid the creation of spurious long and narrow triangles in convex regions
    along the data boundaries.
  • Added the ImageCorrelationNeighbourhoodAnalysis tool for performing correlation analysis
    between two input rasters within roving search windows. The tool can be used to perform
    Pearson's r, Spearman's Rho, or Kendall's Tau-b correlations.
