I’m starting to work with LiDAR point cloud (LPC) data with the goal of
creating multi-band rasters that list terrain height, surface height, and
surface type. GRASS looks like the ticket for visualizing LPC data and
processing it into GeoTIFFs using Python scripting.
I’m on Ubuntu 20.04, and it appears that LPC support requires compiling your
own binary, which I did from the GitHub repo following these instructions:
https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_Ubuntu
<https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Compile_and_Install_Ubuntu>
The resulting 7.9.dev binary has v.in.pdal but not r.in.pdal. Is there a way to
get the latter working? All the tutorials I’m finding refer to r.in.lidar,
which appears similar to r.in.pdal but relies on deprecated liblas instead of
pdal.
Looks like d.vect will get me from a vector layer to a raster layer but haven’t
figured it out yet. Should I import using v.in.pdal then convert to raster with
d.vect?
Thanks,
Andreas
