A simple CLI tool for rasterizing LAS/LAZ point clouds.
Use-cases include DEM/DSM generation, density analysis, etc. and should be able to output to any GDAL raster driver with writing support.
Use the --help flag for a more detailed explanation.
Simple method of rasterization accounting only for the points within any given pixel. The points can be 'collapsed' into a pixel as a mean, median, min, max of points or a point count.
Currently via a spike-free triangulation methodology specified in A. Khosravipour et al. 2016.
Should be the same method as in LAStools.
GDAL installation (compiled for 3.10, but most versions should work.)
