iwfm.gis.las2shp

iwfm.gis.las2shp(source, target, max_edge_length=3, verbose=0)[source]

Convert an LAS LIDAR file to a shapefile by creating a 3D triangle mesh using Delaunay Triangulation.

Parameters:

  • source (str) – source LIDAR file name

  • target (str) – output shapefile name

  • max_edge_length (float, default=3) – maximum edge length for triangles (filters out large triangles along convex hull which are common artifacts in Delaunay triangulation)

  • verbose (int, default=0) – level of CLI printing (0 = none)

Return type:

nothing
