Challenge Hernando County Florida needed to create a 3-D model of the City of Brooksville and turned to the Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) office for help in getting the estimated building heights. Solution Because of LIDAR’s 3-dimensional qualities it is the perfect data source to extract building elevation information. This point cloud characteristic…
Last month’s tool tip discussed using the Planar Point Filter to filter buildings from point cloud data. This month’s tool tip discusses building extraction, essentially the next step after creating a building filter. The Point Group Tracing and Squaring Point Cloud Task will allow you to further refine the point cloud data classified as building…
So you have received LIDAR data and you really need to classify all those buildings in a timely fashion. The LP360 Planar Point Filter is an automatic process for classifying planar surfaces such as buildings. Located in the Point Cloud Task tab of the Table of Contents window of LP360, you can quickly set up…
