v.in.pdal1grass

Converts las lidar point clouds to a grass vector map with pdal.

Usage

v.in.pdal

v.in.pdal --help

v.in.pdal [-wocrjkhm] input=name output=name [id_layer=string] [return_layer=string] [class_layer=string] [rgb_layer=string] [spatial=xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax] [zrange=min,max] [return_filter=string] [class_filter=integer [,integer, ...]] [input_srs=string] [max_ground_window_size=float] [ground_slope=float] [max_ground_distance=float] [initial_ground_distance=float] [ground_cell_size=float] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Keywords

vector, import, LIDAR

Overview

v.in.pdal supports the following PDAL filters:

•

groud detection with Point Cloud Library (PCL) Progressive Morphological Filter (Zhang 2003) (filters.ground)

•

filters.height (requires PCL)

v.in.pdal supports the following filters natively:

•

2D region filter

•

Z coordinates filter

•

return filter

•

class filter

Examples

Import only XYZ coordinates of points, limit the import to the current computational region and reproject to the Location projection during the import:

v.in.pdal input=points.las output=points -c -r -w
