5.0 LiDAR Data Formats
There is support for a number of different LiDAR file formats.
  • LAS - Version 1.2 and 1.3 - all point formats
    Note: for now the Java LAS library does not read the GEOTIFF coordinate reference system information so it is assume that the x/y/z coordinates are geographic - i.e., they are longitude/latitude/meters.
  • GLAS - GLAS record formats 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 15 and GLANL
    Note: the tiling won't work for the "non-flat" formats - everything except GLANL.
  • LVIS - Version 1.2 and 1.3 - all points formats (LCE, LGE and LGW)
  • ATM, McORDS, PARIS text formats
  • General CSV text formats - See below
