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 Russian and English.", "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": ["routing", "network", "road", "osm", "gps", "gpx", "density", "forest", "graph", "skeleton", "trajectory", "tracks", "logistics", "slide", "ridgeslide"], "downloads": 149, "latest_version": "1.0.2", "versions": [{"version": "1.0.2", "experimental": false, "qgis_min": "3.22.0", "qgis_max": "3.99.0", "downloads": 149, "uploaded_by": "aleko", "upload_datetime": "2026-07-15T09:41:30.621153"}]}
