DEM production using the command line

Post by JeanForestry »

Good evening,

I try to produce a DEM using the command line. The problem is that several Lidar layers are exported. I need only the heights from the first returns. Using the GUI, I am able to produce a proper DEM, but not with the command line. I woiuld like also be able to specify the output file name.

The command file I am using is:

Code: Select all

cloudcompare.CloudCompare -SILENT -O -GLOBAL_SHIFT AUTO 16_402_5024_f08_dc.las -RASTERIZE -GRID_STEP 0.2 -EMPTY_FILL INTERP -SF_PROJ MAX -PROJ MAX -OUTPUT_RASTER_Z 
Thanks in advance,
Jean

Indeed, the option '-OUTPUT_RASTER_Z' was a bit misleading.

I fixed it, and created a new option '-OUTPUT_RASTER_Z_AND_SF' for those who want both. This way it should be more explicit.

You can test that with the latest 2.12.alpha version.
