Read Point Cloud Data from LAZ File
This example shows how to read and visualize point cloud data from a LAS / LAZ file.
Create a lasFileReader
object for a LAZ file. Then, use the readPointCloud
function to read point cloud data from the LAZ file and generate a pointCloud
object.
Create a lasFileReader
object to access the LAZ file data.
filepath = fullfile(toolboxdir("lidar"),"lidardata", ... "las","aerialLidarData.laz"); lasReader = lasFileReader(filepath);
Read point cloud data from the LAZ file using the readPointCloud
function.
ptCloud = readPointCloud(lasReader);
Visualize the point cloud.
