Newly announced for #FOSS4G2022... viewer.copc.io now supports drag-n-drop of local copc.io files! Thanks @TheMrCam and @connor2n2o from the @hobuinc team for the wizardry. Convert your data to COPC with @pointcloudpipe or @qgis and share away!

Thanks @tiledb for contributing PDAL's enhanced Python API. Thanks to this, you can now compose PDAL operations in Python instead of just passing JSON to PDAL. It should open up huge possibilities for people mixing point clouds with Python's ML machinery.
Thanks to @tiledb, @pointcloudpipe now has an enhanced Python API that support composition, meshio, streaming, and better numpy support. Grab the source from pypi.org/project/PDAL/ or wait for @condaforge to catch up its feedstock.

1/ It can be difficult to effectively visualize large numbers of classes in point cloud data, especially in the presence of class imbalance.

4/ All classes not currently receiving focus are displayed using a mixture of intensity and ambient occlusion. In doing so, we are able to maintain the context provided by the full scene while evaluating individual classes (cars).

1/ Lidar intensity values often add meaningful context, but sometimes these values, at least for visualization purposes, are not ideal.

4/ Finally, the product of the histogram equalization and ambient occlusion values can be computed to arrive at a visually appealing rendering of the data.

Experimenting with different ways to visualize categorical labels in point cloud data. Autzen LAZ courtesy @pointcloudpipe used under CC-BY-4.0 / 12-class Paired color scheme enhanced with ambient occlusion using @CloudCompareGPL. grovercsllc.com/

Less than a week left on our crowdfunding campaign to support point cloud data in #QGIS. Note that contributions are still welcome and will be used towards stretched goals, see: lutraconsulting.co.uk//crowd…
Incredible response from the community with 4/5th of the funds already pledged. Just 10k more and we can start the implementation. Who wants to be on the list of donors - there are still a few places left: lutraconsulting.co.uk/crowdf…
