Our flagship product is the LAStools software suite, which is an easy download (~80 MB) and is available for licensing (see pricing). It is a collection of highly efficient, batch-scriptable, multicore command line tools. We have tools to classify, tile, convert, filter, raster, triangulate, contour, clip, and polygonize LiDAR data (to name just a few functions). All of the tools can also be run via a native GUI and are available as a LiDAR processing toolboxes for ArcGIS versions 9.3 and up, for QGIS versions 1.8 and up, and for ERDAS IMAGINE versions 14.0 and up.
LAStools are the fastest and most memory efficient solution for batch-scripted multi-core LiDAR processing and can turn billions of LiDAR points into useful products at blazing speeds and with low memory requirements. For seamless processing of large amounts of LiDAR we further offer the BLAST extension of LAStools.
is a tool that reads LIDAR points from LAS/LAZ/ASCII (or rasters from ASC/BIL/DTM format) and extracts a set of particular elevation contours in SHP/KML/WKT/TXT format. The user may specify to extract contours every 5 meters or only for individual elevation values. The contours can be smoothed or simplified on demand and hydro breaklines can beContinue Reading
is a tool that triangulates LIDAR points from the LAS/LAZ format (or some ASCII format) into a temporary TIN and then rasters the TIN to create a DEM. The tool can either raster the ‘-elevation’, the ‘-slope’, the ‘-intensity’, the ‘-rgb’ values, or a ‘-hillshade’ or ‘-gray’ or ‘-false’ coloring.Continue Reading
is a tool to classify buildings and high vegetation (i.e. trees) in LAS/LAZ files. This tool requires that the bare-earth points have already been identified (e.g. with lasground) and that the elevation of each point above the ground was already computed with lasheight (which stores a coarse height value inContinue Reading
is a tool for bare-earth extraction: it classifies the LiDAR points into ground points (class = 2) and non-ground points (class = 1). The tools works very well in natural environments such as mountains, forests, fields, hills, and even steep terrain but also gives excellent results in towns or cities.Continue Reading
This is a handy tool to report the contents of the header, the VLRs, and a short summary of the min and max values of the points for LAS/LAZ files. The tool warns when there is a difference between the header information and the point content for counters and bounding box extent. WhenContinue Reading
is a simple yet fast LiDAR visualization tool that has a number of neat little tricks that may surprise you. It can also edit the classification of the points as well as delete them. For more details see the README file.Continue Reading
