LiDAR data is always tricky to work with, requiring knowledge of arcane tools and all the various tricks of the sensors.  Frequently left in the hands of experts, this frequently means the data is only made available for a mere fraction of it’s possible uses.  Some new tools from Dielmo aims to change this with the power of the Cloud and modern web browsing.

Dielmo’s 3D LiDAR Points Client is open source software that allows the visualization of LiDAR point cloud data in 3D over the internet. Any user, expert or not in LiDAR data, will be able to display a point cloud in 3D online, choose a visualization mode (Height, Intensity, Classification, RGB) and to change the size of the points, all without having expert software for managing LiDAR data. It can easily be integrated in any web browser or GIS software.
