Step 1 Get the Spatial Grid with the Metadata of the Dataset

metadata <- gloBFPr::get_metadata()

Step 2.1 Retrieve Building Footprints with Heights Using a Bounding Box

Set out_type = "all" o return a comprehensive list of outputs, including: - poly: an sf object of building footprints, - binary: a terra raster indicating presence/absence of buildings, and - graduated: a terra raster representing building height.

Specify cell_size = 1 to generate raster layers with 1-meter resolution, ensuring detailed spatial representation of building geometries within the defined area of interest.

buildings_list <- gloBFPr::search_3dglobdf(bbox = c(-83.065644,42.333792,-83.045217,42.346988), 
                                           metadata = metadata, out_type = "all", cell_size = 1)

Step 2.2 Retrieve Building Footprints with Heights Using a Bounding Box

Setting mask = TRUE ensures the height raster is masked by the building footprints.

buildings_list <- gloBFPr::search_3dglobdf(bbox = c(-83.065644,42.333792,-83.045217,42.346988), 
                                           metadata = metadata, out_type = "all", 
                                           mask = TRUE, cell_size = 1)
