Summary : Point Data Abstraction Library
URL : https://www.pdal.io
License : BSD and ASL 2.0 and MIT and Boost
Description : PDAL is a BSD licensed library for translating and manipulating point cloud
: data of various formats. It is a library that is analogous to the GDAL raster
: library. PDAL is focused on reading, writing, and translating point cloud
: data from the ever-growing constellation of data formats. While PDAL is not
: explicitly limited to working with LiDAR data formats, its wide format
: coverage is in that domain.
:
: PDAL is related to Point Cloud Library (PCL) in the sense that both work with
: point data, but PDAL’s niche is data translation and processing pipelines, and
: PCL’s is more in the algorithmic exploitation domain. There is cross over of
: both niches, however, and PDAL provides a user the ability to exploit data
: using PCL’s techniques.
