Hi all, More than ten years ago, two features were added to GDAL during GSoC projects: the raster correlator [0] and support for the Geographic Network Model (GNM) [1]. Both features seem to have remained limited/experimental, with almost no activity except for code formatting and compilation fixes. As far as I know, they also are rarely included in default builds by major distributions/packages, and the correlator API is not exposed via SWIG.
I wonder what is the status and future of this code? Are there any plans to improve and expose it, or is the project leaning toward deprecation and removal to reduce maintenance overhead? In the past I developed an experimental QGIS plugin that uses GDAL GNM via Python bindings and considered exposing the correlator as well. I would love to hear your thoughts on the future of these two features before investing further into plugins, and potentially to the GDAL.
