You can do part of a synoptic QA/QC on LIDAR data using either LP360 command line executables or the Point Cloud Statistics Extractor, which is one of the Point Cloud Tasks found within the LP360 GUI. Some general QA/QC information that can be gathered includes, but is not limited to, projection information, GPS time format, LAS version, point count, point count per class, and area.
LDDump
A quick and basic way to get information about projection information, GPS time and the number of points within an LAS file is to run the LDDump executable. The program is designed to pull the information directly from the public header block of the LAS file, provided the header has been correctly populated with the information by the generating software. The public header information can be displayed in the command prompt or exported to a text, CSV, or KML file.
