<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The sophisticated 3D capabilities of modern web browsers can deliver visualization and interaction of large scale point clouds. Presenter, Howard Butler, will describe open source
software that enables browser-based interaction of large scale point cloud collections. He will describe software and techniques for making point cloud data available on the web, and he will discuss challenges of point cloud data organization, compression,
and access. Howard Butler is the owner of Hobu, Inc., a software consultancy located in Iowa City, Iowa, that focuses on open source software for lidar and point clouds. He leads development of PDAL, the Point Data Abstraction Library, an open source library
that provides a common data content API for various point cloud data formats and services. He has been an ASPRS and ASPRS LAS Committee member since 2009, and he has been involved in open source software development in the GIS and geospatial domain for more
than 15 years. He is a leader in numerous open source projects including GDAL, MapServer , Rtree, libLAS and libspatialindex, and he is a contributing author to the GeoJSON specification , a widely used simple data format/transport for geospatial data.<o:p></o:p></p>
