| 64 | === Integration of PDAL into GRASS GIS === |
| 65 | |
| 66 | * Fully replace LibLAS. |
| 67 | * Expose the rich PDAL functionality. |
| 68 | * Use PDAL [https://github.com/PDAL/CAPI C API]. |
| 69 | * Share code with modules such as v.in.lidar (libLAS-based) and r.in.xyz for easy future maintenance. |
| 70 | * Optional (depending on time) or as a separate topic: v.external and `@PDAL` pseudo-mapset for point clouds |
| 71 | * Requirements: C, C++ |
| 72 | * Mentor: Vaclav Petras |
| 73 | * Co-mentors: Doug Newcomb (non-coding part), Martin Landa |
| 74 | * Rating: medium |
| 75 | * Expected Outcomes: r.in.lidar, v.in.lidar functionality |
| 76 | * Test of skills: take already existing v.in.pdal, and use PDAL C API (only demonstrating minimum functionality - grab points) |
