@hobuinc @pointcloudpipe Thanks for the tools to stream a copc point cloud of some of my recent drone work! @tswetnam
Maintenance release PDAL 2.5.1 is now available. Visit github.com/PDAL/PDAL/rele… for details.
PDAL 2.5.0 is released. github.com/PDAL/PDAL/rele… Tons of new features including Terrasolid binary read/write, trajectory estimation from @NCALM_UH, @STACspec read support, and many copc.io enhancements.
@jonni_walker Thanks! An opportunity for a warm shoot-out to @Mapbox as well as all OSS libraries and standards we use to store and retrieve our 3D scans on our platform (#potree from @m_schuetz, @CesiumJS #3Dtiles, @pointcloudpipe from @howardbutler team)
PDAL Python bindings 3.2.0 have been released. Grab them from pypi.org/project/pdal/ or wait a few hours to get them from @condaforge. The hot new features it the ability to universally fetch the SRS of a pipeline. 🔥
State of PDAL talk from FOSS4G2022 - Slides: tinyurl.com/pdal2022
If you're at #FOSS4G next week, make sure to visit with @pointcloudpipe team members @michael_smith, @connor2n2o, @chambbj, and @howardbutler and see Michael give "State of PDAL" in the Verde room at 4:45 on Thursday.
pdal.io has been updated today to use @readthedocs instead of our homespun documentation builds. The most important improvement as a result is multi-version docs. Thanks to the RTD team for providing such an awesome service for projects such as @pointcloudpipe.
PDAL 2.4.3 has been released. github.com/PDAL/PDAL/rele… It includes a fix for a major memory leak with LAZ files, remote COPC.io writing support, and a LAS SRS overwriting convenience. Get your binary copy from @condaforge or build it yourself if that's your way.
Listen to me and @StevenFeldman on this week's @geomob podcast thegeomob.com/podcast/episod… if you want to learn more about @pointcloudpipe, how @GdalOrg raised resources from its sponsors, and how it developed its sponsorship program with @NumFOCUS.
PDAL is not a workflow engine for processing point cloud data. PDAL is a library *for making* point cloud processing workflow engines. lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/pdal…
New blog: Cloud Optimized Point Cloud (#COPC) bertt.wordpress.com/2022/03/29/clo… Live demo: viewer.copc.io/?state=65df1fc…
Here's a notebook showing how to use COPC.io and PDAL to incrementally build up pipelines, use them to rasterize different dimensions, and display them. gist.github.com/hobu/37b3b21b4…
PDAL 2.4.0 is released. It includes COPC.io read and write support, time queries in @tiledb, comment support in JSON pipelines, and embedded always-on LAZ support due to LASzip Apache relicensing. Release notes at github.com/PDAL/PDAL/rele…
Free to use urban #pcl Point cloud data in #laz and #ept: cartolab.udc.es/geomove/datos/… Published after three years of the original work that generated pdaltools #qgis plugin when #pdal was not yet integrated in qgis. FYI @pointcloudpipe. Remembering @rapidlasso
I’ve was asked here why we developed COPC.io, and the reason is without open data formats and specifications, there is no open source software. @LAStools and #laszipforever are only viable because of @ASPRSorg LAS.

@pointcloudpipe and many other softwares and techniques would not have been possible without Martin’s contributions.
