Those are my notes on taking some LiDAR data and testing different commands in PDAL. If you like, you can follow along using your own data.
Most probably I'll de adding or deleting stuff, but you can take a look to see some of the main operations that can be made on point clouds using PDAL.
This is an adaptation of the original workshop from the PDAL website, Point Cloud Processing and Analysis with PDAL, the single difference being that I use the same data for every operation and show the commands output, too, while in the workshop there are used different data sources.
The workshop can be downloaded from here, too.
The colored point cloud data that we will be using throughout this post can be viewed here: https://potree.entwine.io/data/view.html?r="https://maptheclouds.com/ept_dublin_colored/".
This repo hosts the code examples.
