The LAS file format is an industry standard format for storing data acquired by laser scanners. This tool will provide a summary report for all specified input LAS files. The report will include information about when the file was created and which software was used to create it. The minimum and maximum x, y, and z-coordinates, intensities, and scan angle values will also be output. The tool will also produce a detailed report on the characteristics of the points contained in each LAS file, including breakdowns by return number, position (e.g. # of first, last, intermediate and only returns), and point classification data. The contents of the variable-length records will also be output.
The following is an example of a Python script using this tool:
wd = pluginHost.getWorkingDirectory()
# You may have multiple input files but they must
# be separated by semicolons in the string.
inputs = wd + "input1.las" + ";" + wd + "input2.las" + ";" + wd + "input3.las"
args = [inputs]
pluginHost.runPlugin("GetLasFileSummary", args, False)
This is a Groovy script also using this tool:
def wd = pluginHost.getWorkingDirectory()
// You may have multiple input files but they must
// be separated by semicolons in the string.
def inputs = wd + "input1.las" + ";" + wd + "input2.las" + ";" + wd + "input3.las"
def args = [inputs]
pluginHost.runPlugin("GetLasFileSummary", args, false)
