[GRASS-user] Importing LiDAR data

[Maris Nartiss]

Peaking at the file list you provided, you are dealing with already
processed LiDAR data in raster (and shapefile) format. Thus r.in.gdal
is the way to go.

r.in.las (obsolete) and r.in.pdal (the new way to go) deal with raw
point clouds in LAS format. They perform point binning according to
chosen criteria to generate a raster.

Māris.
