lidario
=======

Description
-----------

lidario is a simple library for reading and writing LiDAR files stored in LAS format. The library is written using the Go programing language. Use the *build.py* file to build/install the source code. The script can also be used to run the tests.

Example Usage
--------------

```Go
import "github.com/jblindsay/lidario"

func main() {
// Reading a LAS file
fileName := "testdata/sample.las"
var lf *lidario.LasFile
var err error
lf, err = lidario.NewLasFile(fileName, "r")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
defer lf.Close()

// Print the data contained in the LAS Header
fmt.Printf("%v\n", lf.Header)

// Print the VLR data
fmt.Println("VLRs:")
for _, vlr := range lf.VlrData {
fmt.Println(vlr)
}

// Get the X,Y,Z data for a single point
x, y, z, err := lf.GetXYZ(1000)
fmt.Printf("Point %v: (%f, %f, %f) Error: %v\n", j, x, y, z, err)

// Get an entire point, including all parts
var p lidario.LasPointer
p, err = lf.LasPoint(1000)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
t.Fatal()
}
fmt.Println("Point format:", p.Format())

// Read all the points
oldProgress := -1
progress := 0
for i := 0; i < int(lf.Header.NumberPoints); i++ {
if p, err := lf.LasPoint(i); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
t.Fatal()
} else {
if i < 10 {
pd := p.PointData()
fmt.Printf("Point %v: (%f, %f, %f, %v, %v, %f)\n", i, pd.X, pd.Y, pd.X, pd.Intensity, pd.ClassBitField.ClassificationString(), p.GpsTimeData())
}
progress = int(100.0 * float64(i) / float64(lf.Header.NumberPoints))
if progress != oldProgress {
oldProgress = progress
if progress%10 == 0 {
fmt.Printf("Progress: %v\n", progress)
}
}
}
}

// Create a new LAS file
newFileName := "testdata/newFile.las"
newLf, err := lidario.InitializeUsingFile(newFileName, lf)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
t.Fail()
}
defer newLf.Close()

progress = 0
oldProgress = -1
for i := 0; i < int(lf.Header.NumberPoints); i++ {
if p, err := lf.LasPoint(i); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
t.Fatal()
} else {
if p.PointData().Z < 100.0 { // only output the point if the elevation is less than 100.0 m
newLf.AddLasPoint(p)
}
}
progress = int(100.0 * float64(i) / float64(lf.Header.NumberPoints))
if progress != oldProgress {
oldProgress = progress
if progress%10 == 0 {
fmt.Printf("Progress: %v\n", progress)
}
}
}
}
