You'll need to find a way to reduce the point count in a smart way - like feeding out a LOD (level of detail) algorithm.</div><div><br></div><div>Two or three years ago, people started looking for good ways to do this. There might be an open source solution by now, but it would require something more heavyweight than just OpenLayers.<br><br>_mpg</div><div><br>On Nov 12, 2013, at 7:06 AM, Eran Nevo <<a href="mailto:eran@utilis.co.il">eran@utilis.co.il</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div style="direction: ltr;">Oh , I'm looking for open source solution to show lidar on web application </div><div><br>On 12 בנוב 2013, at 16:40, Howard Butler <<a href="mailto:howard@hobu.co">howard@hobu.co</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><span></span><br><span>On Nov 11, 2013, at 12:21 PM, Eran Nevo <<a href="mailto:eran@utilis.co.il">eran@utilis.co.il</a>> wrote:</span><br><span></span><br><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span></span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>Hi there , </span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>Can anyone point me to an example how to implement PDAL with OpenLayers ?</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>I have LAS file and PostGIS db with points in them.</span><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><span>Want to try PDAL.</span><br></blockquote><span></span><br><span>OpenLayers is a web JavaScript technology. PDAL is a data translation software focused on transformations from one format to another. You could try using PDAL to export point cloud data to GeoJSON (using drivers.text.writer) and importing that into an OpenLayers map in some way. You are very likely to overwhelm any browser, however, with any significant amount of point cloud data.</span><br><span></span><br><span>Howard</span></div></blockquote></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>pdal mailing list</span><br><span><a href="mailto:pdal@lists.osgeo.org">pdal@lists.osgeo.org</a></span><br><span><a href="http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/pdal">http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/pdal</a></span></div></blockquote></body></html>
