    Definitively will check SAGA GIS out (I already downloaded it). I am
    still trying to find the perfect GIS box ...<br>

      GIS is also worth a look (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.saga-gis.org">http://www.saga-gis.org</a>).
      <br>
      <br>
      It uses libLAS for LAS file import to the SAGA native point cloud
      format. SAGA includes several tools to manipulate the point cloud,
      e.g. an attribute calculator, reclassifier, subset extractor and
      many other methods like gridding and interpolation. There is also
      (a grid based) bare earth filter, adapted from Vosselman (2001).
      <br>
      <br>
      SAGA API is C++ and implementing own modules is quite straight
      forward.

          Regarding Aaron's question, I am playing around with LibLAS to
          develop
          <br>
          a ground classification procedure. It uses Axellson's
