libLAS 1.0.0 Released


libLAS is a C/C++ library for reading and writing ASPRS LAS version 1.0 and 1.1 data. LAS-formatted data is heavily used in LiDAR processing operations, and the LAS format is a sequential binary format used to store data from sensors and as intermediate processing storage by some applications.


libLAS is available under the terms of the BSD License. It builds on work by Martin Isenburg and Jonathan Shewchuk of the University of North Carolina in their LAStools project. libLAS' base C++ library that reads and writes LAS 1.0/1.1 data was replaced with new development, and Martin's tools were ported to use this new code.

libLAS' initial development was supported by the IGSB of the Iowa DNR for use in its state-wide LIDAR project.
