Point cloud data processing

Project description

================================================================================
PDAL
================================================================================

The PDAL Python extension allows you to process data with PDAL into `Numpy`_
arrays. Additionally, you can use it to fetch `schema`_ and `metadata`_ from
PDAL operations.

Usage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Given the following pipeline, which simply reads an `ASPRS LAS`_ file and
sorts it by the ``X`` dimension:

.. code-block:: python


json = """
{
"pipeline": [
"1.2-with-color.las",
{
"type": "filters.sort",
"dimension": "X"
}
]
}"""

import pdal
pipeline = pdal.Pipeline(pipeline)
pipeline.validate() # check if our JSON and options were good
pipeline.loglevel = 9 #really noisy
count = pipeline.execute()
arrays = pipeline.arrays
metadata = pipeline.metadata
log = pipeline.log

.. _`metadata`: http://www.pdal.io/development/metadata.html
