[GIS] Load LAS files in MapInfo

importlaslidarmapinfo

Is it possible to open LAS files within MapInfo?

If so, how is accomplished in MapInfo 10.0?

Best Answer

Apparently not natively. This can however be done with plugins to Mapinfo such as Encom 3D

[GIS] Converting .las to .pcd file using PDAL

The PDAL PCD Writer can write .pcd files. For it to work, you must have linked the PCL libraries at compile time. The PDAL OSGeo4W build does not have PCL support. If you are unable to build PDAL with PCL support yourself, one possibility is to use PDAL's Docker containers to achieve your task -- those have PCL linked.

Then, simply run pdal translate:

Using your own PDAL build with PCL linked:

pdal translate input.las output.pcd

With Docker:

docker run -v /c/Users/hobu/:/data pdal/pdal:1.5 ^
       pdal translate /data/input.las /data/output.pcd
