This is an overview about all rapidlasso products.
LAStools - Open Source
The open source part of the LAStools.| tool name | description |
|---|---|
| lasinfo | report content of a LAS/LAZ file header |
| las2txt | converts binary LAS or LAZ files to human readable ASCII text format. |
| txt2las | converts from ASCII to binary LAS or compressed LAZ file. |
| lasvalidate | validate LAS or LAZ files to conform the ASPRS specification. |
| laszip | compresses LAS files. |
| lasindex | creates a index file (LAX) about a LAS/LAZ file. |
| las2las | extracts last returns, clips, subsamples, translates, etc. |
| lasmerge | merges several LAS or LAZ files. |
| lasprecision | analyses the actual precision of the LIDAR points. |
| lastool.exe | old GUI for multiple LAStools (now within every tool item) |
