Plugins -> Manage and install plugins. Seriously, that is the killer app. If you can think it, there's probably a plugin for it. Esoteric reasons, always have a more updated version of GDAL/PDAL.

Hi ! The LiDAR data are publicly available, at least for france @ignfrance.bsky.social and Luxembourg @act.lu. The process is based on PDAL and GDAL - see here some elements: github.com/jgaffuri/Car...

You can open the .laz files in QGIS to explore the points pretty easily, or write some pipeline scripts using PDAL (they have tutorials) to extract a DEM or DSM GeoTIFF. More complex applications might use the .laz or .tif as input to a machine learning model, e.g. github.com/aws-samples/...

As others have said #GDAL, but also #PDAL and #lidR which have made working with point cloud data much easier. Anyone who has ever worked with web mapping, then ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript documentation is filled with great samples.

Peter Dalgård reddede mig, så jeg fattede pointen. Blev forvirret af de første forklaringer om lyd ud og ind samt video😵‍💫
