I don't know what your application is trying to portray with LIDAR (Point Cloud 
Data) but I would suggest pre-processing the data through a tool such as Safe 
Software FME (http://www.safe.com/highlight/lidar/) into Tiled Referenced 
Raster Images then use GeoServer Mosaic/Pyramid tools to create raster Stores 
for representation.

My response probably raises more things to think about than answers your 
initial question......all the best.

Cheers

Russel

Subject: [OpenLayers-Users] General question for displaying large numbers of 
points

Has anyone on the list encountered or dealt with a situation where very large 
numbers of points needed to be displayed or rendered (i.e. LIDAR data)? I would 
imagine that you'd have to do the rendering server-side, and then display an 
optimized product in the client. Has anyone confronted this, or have 
suggestions?
