#lidar2dems

The lidar2dems project is a collection open-source (FreeBSD license) command line utilities for supporting the easy creation of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) from LiDAR data. lidar2dems uses the PDAL library (and associated dependencies) for doing the actual point processing and gridding of point clouds into raster data.

See the lidar2dems documentation for complete description, usage, and tutorial

####Funding

lidar2dems was created by Applied GeoSolutions, LLC and the University of New Hampshire as part of a NASA-funded Carbon Monitoring System Project (NASA grant #NNX13AP88G; PI Stephen Hagen). In this project, Applied GeoSolutions and project partners are working with the government of Indonesia (LAPAN) to improve forest monitoring in Kalimantan by composing detailed, high resolution maps of forest carbon. If you have questions about this project please email oss@appliedgeosolutions.com
