LAStools Toolbox Now Also for ERDAS IMAGINE 2015

August 17, 2015 - The August release of LAStools<http://rapidlasso.com/LAStools> from rapidlasso GmbH<http://rapidlasso.com/> now also contains a toolbox for the latest 15.1 version of ERDAS IMAGINE(r)<http://www.hexagongeospatial.com/products/remote-sensing/erdas-imagine> 2015 from Hexagon Geospatial<http://hexagongeospatial.com/>. The two companies had announced their cooperation<http://rapidlasso.com/2015/04/08/lastools-toolbox-for-erdas-imagine-2014-released/> earlier this year after releasing the first version of a LiDAR processing toolbox based on LAStools<http://rapidlasso.com/LAStools> for the 2014 version of  ERDAS IMAGINE<http://www.hexagongeospatial.com/products/remote-sensing/erdas-imagine>.

For the new 2015 version of the toolbox the installation procedure has been significanlty simplified so that users of ERDAS IMAGINE<http://www.hexagongeospatial.com/products/remote-sensing/erdas-imagine> can - just moments after downloading LAStools<http://rapidlasso.com/LAStools> - utilize 19 of the most popular LiDAR processing modules from rapidlasso GmbH<http://rapidlasso.com/> either via the icons of a new toolbar or as operators within the IMAGINE Spatial Modeler framework.

The toolboxes for the 2014 and the 2015 version of ERDAS IMAGINE<http://www.hexagongeospatial.com/products/remote-sensing/erdas-imagine> are both distributed with the latest LAStools<http://rapidlasso.com/LAStools> release. They instantly augment the existing image analysis tools of ERDAS IMAGINE with the widely-popular point processing capabilities of LAStools<http://rapidlasso.com/LAStools>. The new tools empower users to validate, quality-check, clean, classify, thin, raster, contour, and compress LiDAR pointclouds in LAS or LAZ formats as well as directly consume and further analyze the resulting raster or vector products with the rich functionality of ERDAS IMAGINE<http://www.hexagongeospatial.com/products/remote-sensing/erdas-imagine>.
