NAME
v.in.pdal - Converts LAS LiDAR point clouds to a GRASS vector map with PDAL.
KEYWORDS
vector,
import,
LIDAR
SYNOPSIS
v.in.pdal
v.in.pdal --help
v.in.pdal [-wocr] 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] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]
Flags:
- -w
- Reproject to projects's coordinate system if needed
- Reprojects input dataset to the coordinate system of the GRASS project (by default only datasets with the matching coordinate system can be imported
- -o
- Override projection check (use current project's CRS)
- Assume that the dataset has the same coordinate reference system as the current project
- -c
- Do not automatically add unique ID as category to each point
- Create only requested layers and categories
- -r
- Limit import to the current region
- --overwrite
- Allow output files to overwrite existing files
- --help
- Print usage summary
- --verbose
- Verbose module output
- --quiet
- Quiet module output
- --ui
- Force launching GUI dialog
Parameters:
- input=name [required]
- LAS input file
- LiDAR input files in LAS format (*.las or *.laz)
- output=name [required]
- Name for output vector map
- id_layer=string
- Layer number to store generated point ID as category
- Set to 1 by default, use -c to not store it
- return_layer=string
- Layer number to store return information as category
- Leave empty to not store it
- class_layer=string
- Layer number to store class number as category
- Leave empty to not store it
- rgb_layer=string
- Layer number where RBG colors are stored as category
- Leave empty to not store it
- spatial=xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax
- Import subregion only
- Format: xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax - usually W,S,E,N
- zrange=min,max
- Filter range for z data (min,max)
- return_filter=string
- Only import points of selected return type
- If not specified, all points are imported
- Options: first, last, mid
- class_filter=integer[,integer,...]
- Only import points of selected class(es)
- Input is comma separated integers. If not specified, all points are imported.
- input_srs=string
- Input dataset projection (WKT or EPSG, e.g. EPSG:4326)
- Override input dataset coordinate system using EPSG code or WKT definition
Imports a point cloud (e.g. from a LAS file) as vector points with the PDAL library.
v.in.pdal supports the following filters:
- 2D region filter
- Z coordinates filter
- return filter
- class filter
Import only XYZ coordinates of points, limit the import to the current
computational region and reproject to the current project's coordinate reference
system during the import:
v.in.pdal input=points.las output=points -c -r -w
