{"name": "GPS Road Builder (RidgeSlide)", "package_name": "gps_road_builder_ridgeslide", "description": "Reconstructs a connected road/path network (graph) from raw GPS tracks using the RidgeSlide density method", "about": "GPS Road Builder reconstructs a connected road/path-network graph from raw\nGPS tracks of any kind \u2014 forestry haul roads, logistics, sports (running,\ncycling), off-road, vessels, OSM traces and more. Its core is RidgeSlide \u2014 a\nPython/NumPy/Numba density method conceived, generalized, developed and\ncompleted by Alexander Kobyakov (building on Guo et al. 2020 and the Slide\nmethod, with his own corrections and additions): build a density surface,\ncompact trajectories onto road ridges, extract a centerline skeleton, then\nweight, clean and connect the edges. A KDE mode is available for very sparse data. Designed\nfor large inputs (tens of millions of points) with background processing that\nkeeps the QGIS UI responsive. Heavy optional accelerators (scikit-image,\nnumba) are installed on demand from a dialog \u2014 no silent auto-install.\nInterface in 12 languages: Russian, English, Chinese, Hindi, Spanish,\nArabic, French, Portuguese, German, Indonesian, Thai and Vietnamese.", "homepage": "https://github.com/AlexKobyakov/gps_road_builder_ridgeslide", "repository": "https://github.com/AlexKobyakov/gps_road_builder_ridgeslide", "tracker": "https://github.com/AlexKobyakov/gps_road_builder_ridgeslide/issues", "author": "Alex Kobyakov", "tags": ["slide", "network", "ridgeslide", "routing", "skeleton", "logistics", "road", "gps", "tracks", "trajectory", "gpx", "osm", "density", "forest", "graph"], "downloads": 372, "latest_version": "1.2.1", "versions": [{"version": "1.2.1", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.22.0", "qgis_max": "4.99.0", "downloads": 182, "uploaded_by": "aleko", "upload_datetime": "2026-08-22T11:59:33.423110"}, {"version": "1.0.2", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.22.0", "qgis_max": "3.99.0", "downloads": 190, "uploaded_by": "aleko", "upload_datetime": "2026-07-15T09:41:30.621153"}]}
