Hi,
I have a pointcloud, (EUREF-89, sone 32 Norway, northern hemisphere), stored in a text file with format: X Y Z R G B.
I can easily import this file into commercial software like AutoCad + proprietary engineering software, and make a
dem out of it, run profiling, make elevation maps, and so on.
I would however very much like to be able to do the same thing in a open source software like GRASS GIS. By now, I have spent
quite some hours trying out GRASS, but still not managed to have it work. I would therefore very much appreciate if someone would
take the bother and walk me through the steps required, if possible with a copy of a working chain of commands required in order
to accomplish my goal.
An example file can be found here; http://uavmapping.com/forum/index.php?topic=17.0
(Notice, there are a considerable number of outliners, that should probably have been removed from the file).
Best regards,
Jorn
Hi Jorn,
I’ve been able to successfully import point data into rasters using the very clear steps outlined on the GRASS LiDAR wiki page here :http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/LIDAR with r.in.xyz (http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/manuals/html64_user/r.in.xyz.html)
especially the section titled “Import LAS as raster DEM”.
If you are starting with the text file you can do something like
r.in.xyz input= output= fs=" " x=1 y=2 z=3
learned that ensuring that the region (g.region rast) is set to the extent of your data and that the region resolution determines the
As the tutorial says you may want to do a
v.surf.rst layer=0 in=${BASEMAP}_pt elev=${BASEMAP}.rst
to fill holes in the data
hope this helps!
