DESCRIPTION
Imports a point cloud (e.g. from a LAS file) as vector points with the PDAL library.
v.in.pdal supports the following filters:
- 2D region filter
- Z coordinates filter
- return filter
- class filter
EXAMPLES
Import only XYZ coordinates of points, limit the import to the current
computational region and reproject to the Location projection during
the import:
v.in.pdal input=points.las output=points -c -r -w
