Development and perspective

Beside maintenance and customer support, LAStools will certainly need some updates and further development to remain competitive. We are currently working on the following tasks. New GUI LAStools is a fundamental element regarding LiDAR data processing, but the GUI is outdated. Young professionals require a more intuitive operation. Visualizing cloud points helps to understand about

New „LidarBC“ Portal adds plenty of Precise Points to Open LiDAR in Canada, eh?

Around 86,000 square kilometres of the province of British Columbia have been mapped using LiDAR and these high-tech point clouds are now released as open data. More about these big news can be found here. We decided to take the portal for a quick spin and try to find the Computer Science building of UBC Vancouver

LASmoons: Olumese Efeovbokhan

Olumese Efeovbokhan (recipient of another three LASmoons) Geosciences, School of Geography University of Nottingham, UK Background: Hydrological models require various input data for flood vulnerability mapping. An important input data for flood vulnerability mapping is the DTM over which flow is being routed. DTMs are generated using cartography, ground surveying, digital aerial photogrammetry, interferometric SAR

Swiss add liberal „Open LiDAR“ and break with conservative stereotypes like Bank Secrecy, Yodeling and Punctuality

My new favorite Swiss Miss, Viola Amherd, said today „Geodaten gehören heute zur Infrastruktur wie die Straßen und die Eisenbahn“, which says that „today, geodata are part of the infrastructure like roads and railways“. The federal councilor of Switzerland announced that programmers and planners, whether private or professional, can now download the data free of

Scanning Samara with LiDAR and Images using Helicopter of Stereocarto

After weeks of planning the helicopter finally came. Since we have been cooperating with Stereocarto’s San Jose office for quite some time, we were finally able to lure their helicopter down to Samara. Taking off from Liberia it flew about an hour back and forth across Samara and the adjacent beaches. Processing this data will

Coco Loco for LiDAR: Open Data and 3D GIS Carnival Cruise into Sao Paulo

The municipality of São Paulo just dropped a MASSIVE amount of open LiDAR upon the geospatial community – a whopping 33 billion points. São Paulo city now has their own Entwine Point Tiles (EPT) service available for everyone interested in downloading, visualizing, or otherwise accessing this amazing data set. The EPT point cloud service can
