Module Import LAS Files

This module imports ASPRS LAS files (versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) as Point Clouds using the "libLAS" library. Get more information about this library at http://liblas.org

Besides the x,y,z coordinates, the user can decide upon which attributes should be imported from the LAS file.

Module development was supported by http://Laserdata GmbH, Austria
and http://alpS GmbH, Austria

liblas version: 1.2.1
