#3924: Port r.in.lidar to PDAL
-------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: marisn | Owner: grass-dev@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.8.1
Component: Raster | Version: svn-trunk
Keywords: lblas, pdal, r.in.lidar | CPU: Unspecified
Platform: Unspecified |
-------------------------------------+-------------------------
As libLAS is more/less EOL, we need a PDAL based replacement. At the
moment there is an extension r.in.pdal, but 1) it is extension and not a
core module 2) it uses PDAL CLI instead of working directly with API 3) it
is not feature complete replacement of r.in.lidar.
IMHO we could try to IFDEF libLAS/PDAL code in r.in.lidar and make
PDAL/LibLAS exclusive options in configure. Thus transition from libLAS to
PDAL would be seamless for ordinary r.in.lidar users.
I would love to see any progress on it as I got hit by an old issue
returning on Ubuntu Disco with libLAS C API code resulting in a segfault
and thus far I haven't been able to figure out how to work around it.
