I have application where user draws arbitrary line over a map, and is presented 
with cross-section of terrain from DTM under that line. At the moment, this is 
supported by a custom DTM format to make this retrieval fast and memory 
efficient (since can be dealing with very large high-resolution data). I would 
like to extend the functionality to handle other raster dtm formats and doing 
this via geoserver seems possible. It can be done via repeated getfeatureinfo 
calls along the line but this is pretty inefficient. Is this something a WPS 
service could do?  Has anyone already done it?
