Current investigation is focusing on using the GeoTrellis JVM rasterizer to evaluate the behavior and results. If those look acceptable and interesting the performance can be improved by performing rasterization of the Pipeline query natively.
While its currently possible to produce DEMs from EPT pyramids using PDAL command line tools those rasters are not accessible through JNI as result of PDAL Pipeline.

This issue is to extend this project, possibly https://github.com/pdal/java, to produce those raster results.
