LAS File Utilities Process/Manipulate LAS files
- Get LAS Header Info Displays header and projection information for an LAS file
- Get LAS Data Info Displays descriptive data statistics for LAS file(s)
- Add Projection to LAS File(s) Adds embedded projection information to LAS files
- Reproject LAS File(s) Converts existing LAS files into a new map projection
- Convert Ascii Data to LAS Converts text point data into LAS format lidar files
- Convert LAS Data to Ascii/Shapefile Converts LAS format lidar files into delimited text or ESRI Shapefile point data
- Create Boundary EVF/SHP/KML Creates an vector file (EVF, shape or KML) that shows the boundaries of the data
- Buffer LAS Files Geographically buffers the data using neighboring files
- Tile LAS File(s) Divides one or more files into multiple tiles
- Reclassify LAS File(s) Reassigns new classification to old classes of LAS files
- Decimate LAS File(s) Decimates the points the data file
- Subset LAS File(s) Subset LAS files by coordinates or image/ROI
- - Subset via Coordinates Subsets data files according to user coordinates
- - Subset via Image/ROI Subsets data files using a reference image and/or regions of interest
- Export LAS File(s) Export LiDAR returns by return number, number of returns, classes, elevation, intensity, and scan angle
- Assign RGB Channel Data Assigns RGB channel data from multi-band images, elevation color, or vegetation height color, to LAS 1.2 files
- Extract Flight Lines Extract flight lines from LAS file(s) using GPS time information
Perform Height Filtering Performs vegetation filtering on the data
Create Bare-earth DEM Creates bare-earth digital terrain model from height-filtered LAS file(s)
Create Raster Products Create various topographic, intensity and vegetation raster products
- Create Topographic Products (Bare-earth) Creates various raster topographic bare-earth products
- Create Topographic Products (All returns) Creates various raster topographic products from all point data
- Create Vegetation Products Creates various raster vegetation products
- Create Intensity Products Creates various raster intensity products
- Prepare LAS file(s) Add vegetation height information to the LAS file(s) from existing bare-earth digital terrain model
Rasterize Lidar Data (Legacy) Converts raw point data into various raster products
Create Vegetation Height Groups Separate input LAS file into user-specified vegetation height groups
Create Elevation Profile(s) Creates one or more elevation profiles along a user-defined transect
