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. 🔥

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.

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/pd…

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/37b3b21…

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.

Congratulation @LAStools on winning the 2022 @GeoWeekNews Outstanding Personal Achievement in LiDAR Award. Much deserved and much missed. I’m so glad @Sista1975 could come to accept it for @rapidlasso. #laszipforever

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