lazer¶

Trees from the motherland

Support for working with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data.

Documentation: docs.salo.ai/salo-lidar

Source code: salosciences/salo-lidar

lazer provides simple python shortcuts and command line tools for lidar data processing tasks. This includes support for airborne and spaceborne lidar.

The name was chosen as a reference to the popular ASPRS-supported laz data format. Oh, and because lidar is fucking laser technology.

Development¶

Before you get started, it's worth installing mamba into your base conda environment, which will speed up the environment creation process.

conda install mamba -n base -c conda-forge

Once that's done, or if you've already installed mamba, clone the repository and create the environment.

git clone git@github.com:salosciences/salo-lidar.git
cd salo-lidar
make init

This will create the lazer conda environment, which you'll activate with conda activate lazer.
