LiDAR data manipulation
Derive Ground to Tree Heights Approx. 9Gbytes LiDAR LAS data in original dataset Combine Point Cloud LAS files Clip Point Cloud & Roads to AOI (Area of Interest) Filter Point Cloud by elevation – thin bad returns Tile the point cloud into “cells” (i.e. 10x10m areas) Split by Classification (Ground & High Vegetation) Convert Point Cloud Cells -> multi-point Extract Min/Max XYZ and calculate maxZ-minZ = diffZ Output to:
Coloured polygons (MapInfo)
