filters.dem¶
The DEM filter uses a source raster to keep point cloud data within a each cell within a computed range. For example, atmospheric or MTA noise in a scene can be quickly removed by keeping all data within 100m above and 20m below a pre-existing elevation model.
Example¶
[
{
"type":"filters.dem",
"raster":"dem.tif",
"limits":"Z[20:100]"
}
]
Options¶
- limits
A range that defines the dimension and the magnitude above and below the value of the given dimension to filter.
For example “Z[20:100]” would keep all
Z
point cloud values that are within 100 units above and 20 units below the elevation model value at the givenX
andY
value.- raster
GDAL readable raster data to use for filtering.
- band
GDAL Band number to read (count from 1) [Default: 1]
