<P><B><U>abstract:</U></B><BR>
We provide an easy-to-use, ultra-light-weight, very efficient C++ programming API called <a href="download/laslib.zip">LASlib</a> (with <a href="http://laszip.org">LASzip</a> DLL) that implements reading and writing of LiDAR points from and to the ASPRS LAS format (version 1.0-1.3) as well as its --- losslessly compressed, but otherwise identical twin --- the LAZ format (see below). All source code (LGPL) is included.<BR><BR>
Built upon <a href="download/LAStools.zip">LASlib</a> (with <a href="http://laszip.org">LASzip</a> DLL) are <a href="download/LAStools.zip">LAStools</a> - a collection of highly-efficient, scriptable tools with multi-core batching that process LAS, compressed LAZ, Terrasolid BIN, ESRI Shapefiles, and ASCII. The program <a href="download/LAStools.zip">lastile.exe</a> creates a tiling of LAS/LAZ files, <a href="download/LAStools.zip">lassort.exe</a> z-orders them, and <a href="download/LAStools.zip">lasclip.exe</a> clips away points falling into polygonal shapes (e.g. building footprints). The tool <a href="download/LAStools.zip">txt2las.exe</a> converts LiDAR from standard ASCII to LAS/LAZ. The corresponding <a href="download/LAStools.zip">las2txt.exe</a> turns LAS/LAZ into human-readable and easy-to-parse text. The tool <a href="download/LAStools.zip">lasinfo.exe</a> prints out an overview of the contents of a LAS/LAZ file, <a href="download/LAStools.zip">las2shp.exe</a> turns LAS/LAZ into ESRI's Shapefile format, <a href="download/LAStools.zip">shp2las.exe</a> turns an ESRI's Shapefile into LAS/LAZ, <a href="download/LAStools.zip">lasmerge.exe</a> can merge several LAS/LAZ files into one, <a href="download/LAStools.zip">e572las.exe</a> extracts the points from the E57 format and stores them as LAS/LAZ files, <a href="download/LAStools.zip">las2las.exe</a> filters, transforms, subsamples, clips, thins, ..., <a href="download/LAStools.zip">lasthin.exe</a> implements a simple point thinning algorithm, <a href="download/LAStools.zip">las2tin.exe</a> triangulates the points of a LAS/LAZ file into a TIN, <a href="download/LAStools.zip">las2dem.exe</a> rasterizes them into a DEM, <a href="download/LAStools.zip">las2iso.exe</a> extracts, optionally simplified, elevation contours, and <a href="download/LAStools.zip">lasboundary.exe</a> computes a boundary polygon (i.e. a concave or disjoint hull of the points). The little OpenGL viewer <a href="download/LAStools.zip">lasview.exe</a> visualizes the contents of a LAS/LAZ file and can also compute a TIN.<BR><BR>
Our powerful, lossless LiDAR compressor <a href="download/laszip.exe">laszip.exe</a> turns large LAS files into much smaller LAZ files that are only 7 - 20 percent of the original file size. All <a href="download/LAStools.zip">LAStools</a> read, process, and write the compressed format directly without having to first decompress the file. Our easy-to-use, ultra-light-weight, very efficient C++ programming API called <a href="download/LAStools.zip">LASlib</a> (with <a href="http://laszip.org">LASzip</a> DLL) (LGPL source code) makes it easy to add read/write support of compressed LAZ files to your software.<BR>
