LASDatasets.jl

A Julia package for reading and writing LAS data. LAS is a public file format for saving and loading 3D point cloud data, and its source repository can be found here. This package currently supports LAS specifications 1.1-1.4 (see here for the 1.4 spec.)

Some key features included in this package are:

• High-level functions for reading and writing LAS data in tabular formats using TypedTables.jl
• Automatic detection of LAS point formats from data
• Reading and writing Julia-native structs as Variable Length Records (VLRs) and Extended Variable Length Records (EVLRs)
• Easy manipulation of file header properties
