LiDAR Viewer

This is a highly informative video explaining both airborne LiDAR and a new software product called LiDAR Viewer from a group at UC Davis – the University of California at Davis. Really impressive performance.

LiDAR Viewer (http://idav.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/Res…, http://doc-ok.org/?p=432) is an out-of-core, multi-resolution, view-dependent interactive visualization and analysis software for massive (tens of billions of points) LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging, large-extent 3D laser scanning) data. LiDAR Viewer allows seamless visualization of data sets many times the size of the computer’s main memory, and provides measurement and feature extraction / analysis tools to perform scientific or engineering field work in a virtual environment.
