J</span> I was wondering if there was a way to split an input LAS file into multiple LAS outputs, using shapefile geometry boundaries (and conserving the number of total points)?<br>
<br>
I’ve looked at the example below and noticed it was for one output only [pdal pipeline ] ;<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Other options I’ve looked at;<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">pdal split seems to only split by number of points?<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">pdal tile seems to only give square tile outputs?<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know if I’ve overlooked something.</p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I don't think we do this directly, though it has been discussed. You can pass the geometries into filters.crop, but you need to pass WKT and then use a writer that will write multiple views (LAS, BPF, OGR, GDAL). If your geometries don't overlap and overlap all points, you should get the same number on output as on input.</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Andrew Bell<br><a href="mailto:andrew.bell.ia@gmail.com" target="_blank">andrew.bell.ia@gmail.com</a></div></div>
