NAME¶

lasblock - pre-process LAS files into blocks

SYNOPSIS¶

lasblock
[-h | [-c arg] [-p arg] -i arg [-o arg] [-v] ]

DESCRIPTION¶

lasblock displays LAS file details with optional output filters. While lasblock can do a few simple operations like updating header information, more drastic changes, like removing points or altering values, will require las2las(1).

OPTIONS¶

-h, --help

Produce help message

-c arg, --capacity arg

Number of points to nominally put into each block (note that this number will not be exact). Default: 3000

-p arg, --precision arg

Number of decimal points to write for each bbox. Default: 8

-i arg, --input arg

input LAS file

-o arg, --output arg

The output .kdx file (defaults to input filename + .kdx)

-v, --verbose

Verbose message output

EXAMPLE¶

Block a file, and write out blocks with 6 decimals of precision with a nominal capacity of 3000 points per block:

lasblock -c 3001 -p 6 myfile.las


      

Note. If no capacity is specified with -c, 10000 is assumed.

Note. lasblock will always write out a myfile.las.kdx file name by default, but you can override the output name with a -o command-line switch.
