# Tile metadata

Per-tile geographic coordinates are **regenerated by the pipeline** rather than shipped as a
static file. (An earlier exported grid file did not match the released tile set, so it was
removed to avoid confusion.)

## Files

| File | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `melbourne_tile_index.kml` | Tile index for Melbourne, viewable in any GIS tool; input to `scripts/melbourne/grid_from_kml.py`. |
| `splits/` | Train / validation / test tile-ID lists. Generate with `scripts/make_splits.py` (see `splits/README.md`). |

## Regenerating the tile grid

The tiling scripts derive each tile's geographic extent directly from the source LAS, so no
pre-computed grid file is required. If you want an explicit grid as JSON, run:

```bash
python scripts/melbourne/grid_from_kml.py     # writes output_grids.json from the tile index KML
```

Each entry provides the tile id, grid row/column, and geographic bounding box (UTM + WGS84).
