The Export Wizard can be used to compare the relative accuracy of returns from overlapping flight lines. Using the ‘Surface’ Export Type, the ‘Point Insertion’ Surface Method , and the ‘dz Images’ Surface Attribute, will produce a useful visual representation of the vertical mismatch from flight line to flight line. This tool creates cells with…
Files with a zLAS extension are usually the ESRI proprietary LAS compression format. The ESRI LAS Optimizer improves archiving, sharing, and use of LAS format LIDAR. Optimization is accomplished in several ways: Lossless compression Spatial indexing Statistics generation The compression ratio the optimizer can achieve is typically much better than generic compressors. This is because…
When launching MicroStation from GeoCue and you have more than one version of on that machine, you can specify which version to use as a default.

When attempting to use the LDMerge.exe it fails with “Error: Failed to find an input LAS file (27274)”. This error is caused by the failure to specify the input files on the command line. The usage indicates this requirement to specify the input files by the “las_files” designation, but it is easily missed by users.…
Introduction In many cases there are not many LIDAR returns from the surface of waterbodies, and sometimes none at all. In some situations, it is useful to have points that can represent the surface of these waterbodies. LP360 can be used to generate points for these areas and mark them as synthetic points. Methodology Generate…
A Letter from Jolynn Schmidt My final project for my LIDAR class was to extract building heights using LIDAR collected after Superstorm Sandy for the City of Newark. Using LP360, I created a Point Cloud Task workflow to classify points within a set of building footprints. My final product included a DEM of the ground…
