I usually also tend towards just doing - but this time, with LIDAR it's probably a good advice to think and discuss first It's really a tricky thing. See e.g. Paul Ramsey's Talk at FOSS4G 2013, Birmingham: http://elogeo.nottingham.ac.uk/xmlui/bitstream/handle/url/186/pgpointcloud-foss4-2013.pdf 2014/1/29 Howard Butler wrote: > I think the first question to answer for a QGIS point cloud capability is to > define > what it will do.

BTW there is another "battle field" over at the format definition side which currently needs some attention: "LIDAR Format Wars..." http://boundlessgeo.com/2014/01/lidar-format-wars-2/ 2014/1/31 A Huarte <[email protected]>: > Although I know you're going to try it in Vienna, I would like to recover > the idea of creating a new type of layer (eg QgsPointCloudLayer) that > inherits from QgsVectorLayer to provide all the basic vector functionality > (including a new simplification of proximity to fast rendering), and add > extra capabilities for these data types: output rasters, 3D profiles, 3D > visualization in plugins ... > > Best Regards > Alvaro > > ________________________________ > De: Paolo Cavallini <[email protected]> > Para: Larry Shaffer <[email protected]> > CC: qgis-developer <[email protected]> > Enviado: Viernes 31 de enero de 2014 7:53 > > Asunto: Re: [Qgis-developer] Lidar data into QGIS > > Il 30/01/2014 18:41, Larry Shaffer ha scritto: > >>> To revisit your original immediate need, does the output from Howard's >>> Hexer tool visualize what you are looking for? >> >>> https://github.com/hobu/hexer > > Hi Larry, > we do not have immediate needs, it's a mid-term goal to make LAS data > available in QGIS. > Thanks anyway for the suggestion, interesting; probably it would be good > to check if there is something we can integrate or reuse. > All the best. > -- > Paolo Cavallini - www.faunalia.eu > QGIS & PostGIS courses: http://www.faunalia.eu/training.html > _______________________________________________ > Qgis-developer mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer > > > > _______________________________________________ > Qgis-developer mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer _______________________________________________ Qgis-developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
