# las2las reads and writes LIDAR data in LAS/LAZ/ASCII format to filter, transform, project, thin, or otherwise modify its contents. Sometimes it is not neccessary to use las2las prior other lastools, because most arguments can be used by the other tool as well. Examples are keeping only those points that are within a rextangle '-keep_xy 10 10 20 20' or points that are between a certain height '-keep_z 10 100', or dropping points that are a certain return '-drop_return 2', that have a scan angle above some threshold '-drop_scan_angle_above 5', or below some intensity '-drop_intensity_below 15'. Sometimes points are far outside the bounding box (corrupted files) and it is handy to remove them with '-clip_to_bounding_box'. It is also possible to add missing projection information to the LAS/LAZ file or to reproject (using the same ellipsoid) for example from latitude/longitude to UTM or the stateplane of Ohio_North or to Earth-centered Earth-fixed (ECEF). You can also use common EPSG codes with '-epsg 32754'. For LAS 1.4 it is important to '-set_ogc_wkt' which translates the GeoTIFF keys into an CRS string in the OGC WKT format and adds them as the payload of the corresponding VLR. For LAS 1.4 files you can use '-set_ogc_wkt_in_evlr' to put that string into the EVLR instead of the VLR (but we don't recommend that). Another typical use is extract only first (-first_only) or only last (-last_only) returns. Extracting the first return is the same as dropping all others (e.g. -drop_return 2 3 4 5). Or one can extract a subsequence of 1000 points (-subseq 540 1000) which will start at point 540. Finally one can also only keep or drop certain classifications. The option -keep_class 2 3 will keep only those points that are of classification 2 or 3 and the option -drop_class 2 3 will drop only those points. For all options run 'las2las -h'. ## Examples las2las64 -i s1885565.laz -o out.las -sp83 OH_S -feet -elevation_feet Adding the projection information to the file 's1885565.laz'.

-owrl : output as VRLM (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) text -pipe_on : write output to command pipe, see also -std_in -populate : populate header on output -stdout : pipe to stdout -target_ecef : output is geocentric (Earth-centered Earth-fixed) -temp_files [n] : set base file name [n] for temp files (example: E:\tmp) ### add_attribute The '-add_attribute' argument allow as first parameter the datatype out of this values: 0 : undocumented - extra bytes specify value in options field 1 : unsigned char (1 byte) 2 : char (1 byte) 3 : unsigned short (2 bytes) 4 : short (2 bytes) 5 : unsigned long (4 bytes) 6 : long (4 bytes) 7 : unsigned long long (8 bytes) 8 : long long (8 bytes) 9 : float (4 bytes) 10 : double (8 bytes) 11-30 : deprecated 31-255 : reserved ### parse The '-parse [xyz]' flag specifies how to set the columns in a ASCII output file. For example, 'tsxyzssa' means that the first number is the gpstime, the next number should be skipped, the next three numbers are the x, y, and z coordinate, the next two should be skipped and the next number is the scan angle. The other supported entries are: x : [x] coordinate y : [y] coordinate z : [z] coordinate X : unscaled raw [X] value Y : unscaled raw [Y] value Z : unscaled raw [Z] value t : gps [t]ime R : RGB [R]ed channel G : RGB [G]reen channel B : RGB [B]lue channel s : [s]kip a string or a number that we don't care about i : [i]ntensity a : scan [a]ngle n : [n]umber of returns of that given pulse r : number of [r]eturn h : with[h]eld flag k : [k]eypoint flag g : synthetic fla[g] o : [o]verlap flag of LAS 1.4 point types 6, 7, 8 l : scanner channe[l] of LAS 1.4 point types 6, 7, 8 m : point index, starting at 0 M : point index, starting at 1 W : all wavepacket attributes w : [w]avepacket descriptor index c : [c]lassification u : [u]ser data p : [p]oint source ID e : [e]dge of flight line flag d : [d]irection of scan flag 0-9 : additional attributes described as extra bytes (0 through 9) ### output separator The '-osep [sep]' argument specifies the output format of a text(xyz) output. Supported [sep] values: comma tab dot colon semicolon hyphen space ## License This tool is free to use. ## Support To get more information about a tool just goto the [LAStools Google Group](http://groups.google.com/group/lastools/) and enter the tool name in the search function.
