[pdal] [EXTERNAL] Writing multi-band rasters

[Newcomb, Doug]

Andreas,
Geotiff supports multiple bands.  If your workflow is set up to generate a single band at a time, you can use gdalbuildvrt https://gdal.org/programs/gdalbuildvrt.html to make a virtual multiband raster of the individual bands , then gdal_translate , https://gdal.org/programs/gdal_translate.html#gdal-translate to convert your virtual multiband raster into a multiband geotiff.
This would be the brute force wayt of doing things, it could be made more elegant using python.

Doug

Is it possible to write multiple dimensions to a raster such as a GeoTIFF? For example: Z, Classification, Intensity, Red, Green, and Blue.

If not, is there a different format (IMG, etc.) that supports doing so?

Thanks,

Andreas
