SAGA-GIS Tool Library Documentation (v7.7.0)

Tool Import LAS Files

This tool imports ASPRS LAS files (versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) as Point Clouds using the "libLAS" library.

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

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

liblas version: 1.2.1
