[GRASS-user] Creating LiDAR first pulse vector map

[Massimiliano Cannata]

Jack, usually lidar data I have seen so far, have also information on 
pulse other then X Y Z Intensity
Maybe you could check if you have couples of points with really close 
coordinates and different Z.
If it is, I guess your file is listing one point for each returned 
pulse... and in this case you should make some scripting to extract the 
first and last pulse...
