The Classification Point Filter is used often throughout LP360 as part of the set-up routine for many different tasks. For example, many of the Point Cloud Tasks (PCT) require you to use this filter to select the classification source points that are either included or excluded when setting up and executing a PCT task. Classification…
Do you ever get irritated that you have to enter your symbology information/settings into each view window? The Copy Legends dialog (Figure 1) is the answer you are looking for. The LP360 Copy Legends dialog allows you to quickly copy the LIDAR display and symbology settings such as elevation, classification, point source, and return combinations…
I often find myself running point statistics in LP360 (either LP360 for ArcGIS or the standalone LP360) using the stamp Point Cloud Task tools. This allows me to take multiple samples across the project for point density testing or classification counts. I realized that it is not obvious that you can append to a shape…
LIDAR datasets are large and require extensive quality control and quality assurance procedures to ensure desired accuracies and product results. Statistics play an important role in evaluating LIDAR data in an efficient manner during such this QA/QC process. Statistics can be calculated for the LIDAR project dataset as a whole, for each file in the…
LP360 uses “stamps” for Point Cloud Tasks (PCT) and “brushes” for manual data reclassification. The stamps of the PCT include a single circular stamp and a single square stamp. The paint brushes include small, medium and large brushes. But did you realize that these are actually “templates”, the size of which you can modify? Read…
LIDAR data often contains many attributes in addition to the simple positional information for the individual returns. One useful attribute in the classification of LIDAR points is the intensity. The intensity represents the magnitude of the return pulse and is recorded as an integer value within the LAS format. The intensity information is what is…
