FME Delivers New Opportunities to Maximize the Value of LiDAR Data

  • Rating12345

Safe Software announced today that FME, the leading spatial data transformation technology, now offers unrivaled support for LiDAR and point cloud data. Organizations can now use the unmatched transformation capabilities in FME to quickly prepare LiDAR data to meet their precise requirements, enabling them to extract the full value from their LiDAR data assets to power better informed decision making. Many organizations have been looking for an easy way to tap into the wealth of information available in their LiDAR data assets. However, the massive size of these files and interoperability challenges have made it very difficult, and even impossible, for this highly accurate, “sensed” data to be used and shared. With FME’s new support for popular LiDAR formats such as LAS, Pointools POD, XYZ ASCII and loading of LiDAR into Oracle Spatial Database, preparation of this data for use is now not only possible, but can be performed on millions of points in seconds.
