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

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 ASPRS LAS.

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 PDAL. Remembering martin isenburg

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…

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 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…

Listen to me and Steven Feldman on this week's geomob podcast thegeomob.com/podcast/episod… if you want to learn more about PDAL, how gdal org raised resources from its sponsors, and how it developed its sponsorship program with NumFOCUS.

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 Conda Forge or build it yourself if that's your way.

pdal.io has been updated today to use Read the Docs 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 PDAL.

If you're at #FOSS4G next week, make sure to visit with PDAL team members michael_smith, Connor Manning, Bradley J Chambers, and @[email protected] and see Michael give "State of PDAL" in the Verde room at 4:45 on Thursday.

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 Conda Forge. The hot new features it the ability to universally fetch the SRS of a pipeline. 🔥

@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 Markus Schütz, Cesium #3Dtiles, PDAL from @[email protected] team)

PDAL 2.5.0 is released. github.com/PDAL/PDAL/rele… Tons of new features including Terrasolid binary read/write, trajectory estimation from National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping, SpatioTemporal Asset Catalog read support, and many copc.io enhancements.

Maintenance release PDAL 2.5.1 is now available. Visit github.com/PDAL/PDAL/rele… for details.

hobuinc PDAL Thanks for the tools to stream a copc point cloud of some of my recent drone work! @tswetnam
