"""Fetch per-tile imagery and derive semantic masks for the City3D-MultiGen reconstruction pipeline (GridFlow, ECCV 2026). Pipeline role: For each 150 m tile this script downloads two co-registered rasters from the signed Google Maps Static API -- a satellite image and a custom-styled "roadmap" image -- then parses the styled roadmap into per-class binary semantic masks using fixed color thresholds. Inputs: Tile geo-extents read from per-tile JSON metadata files (``wgs84_nw`` / ``wgs84_se`` lon/lat corners). These JSONs can optionally be generated first from an area bounding box (``--nw`` / ``--se``). Outputs (written next to each JSON, keyed by the tile base name): ``_sat.png`` satellite crop, ``_map.png`` styled roadmap crop, and six mask images ``_.png`` for the classes Building, RoadSurface, Railway, VegetationLand, UrbanLand and WaterSurface. Key steps: 1. Build the Static Maps URL, sign it with the URL-signing secret (HMAC-SHA1). 2. Fetch satellite and styled-roadmap tiles, then crop to the exact extent. 3. Parse the roadmap crop into masks via the CLASS_COLORS_HEX color thresholds (exact match per class; tolerant match plus 1 px dilation for Railway). Required environment variables (each may be overridden by a CLI flag): GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY Static Maps API key. GOOGLE_MAPS_URL_SIGNING_SECRET URL-signing secret for the signed requests. GOOGLE_MAPS_STYLE_MAP_ID Map ID of the custom roadmap style. Note: the custom Google map style referenced by GOOGLE_MAPS_STYLE_MAP_ID is not distributed here; you must recreate it in the Google Cloud console so the styled roadmap colors match the CLASS_COLORS_HEX values used for mask parsing.
