The current process in the coveragecalculator class for writing coverage reports is inefficient.
# compute coverage
points = cov_checker.CheckPointCoverage() # list of indices of the GPs accessed shall be returned
if len(points)>0: #If no ground-points are accessed at this time, skip writing the row altogether.
for pnt in points:
coords = self.grid.get_lat_lon_from_index(pnt)
access_writer.writerow([time_index, pnt, coords.latitude, coords.longitude])
For every individual point accessed, the coordinates are requested one at a time. This requires a lot of python function calls and back and forth between python and C++. It would be better to request them all at once using something along the lines of self.grid.get_lats_lons_from_indices(pnts).
