[mapserver-dev] Point Clouds, reprojecting . . .

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Mike,

I actually have a longer drawn out plan to try some other things down the line, once reprojecting is working.

MapServer could be used for example to colorize the point cloud based on 2D raster draping, etc.  I’m sure this is all billable as well with PDAL and similar tools too.  Just looking at the Mapserver pipeline to see if it is possible.  Maybe it’s not the right approach though.  Waiting ti hear more thoughts.
