LAStools algorithm provider

LAStools is a collection of highly efficient, multicore command line tools for LiDAR data processing.

blast2dem

Description

This tool can turn billions of points with via seamless Delaunay triangulation implemented using streaming into large elevation, intensity, or RGB rasters. For more info see the blast2dem page and its online README file.

verbose [boolean]

Generates more textual control output to the console.

Default: False

open LAStools GUI [boolean]

Starts the GUI of LAStools with pre-populated input files.

Default: False

input LAS/LAZ file [points]
The file containing the points to be rastered in LAS/LAZ format.
filter [string]

Specifies which points to use to construct the temporary TIN that is then rastered.

Default:

step size / pixel size [number]

Default: 1.0

Attribute [string]

Specifies the attribute that is to be rastered.

Default: elevation

Product [string]

Default: actual values

use tile bounding box [boolean]

Specifies to limit the rastered area to the tile bounding box (only meaningful for input LAS/LAZ tiles that were created with lastile).

Outputs

Output raster file [raster]
