Point Cloud Intensity level is not being shown

  • 1.  Point Cloud Intensity level is not being shown

    Has anyone else experienced the point cloud intensity levels not being brought in when importing a LAS files? We are using a third party software to process our LiDAR data and kick out only LAS files. When we import the LAS into TBC it only reads 1 level of intensity. Is there a work around for this?

    Hey James,

    The way I understand it, LAS either has intensity in a different field than TBC is looking in, or the autoscale of the intensity in TBC has scaled it to look like a single color.

    I'm definitely not an expert on LAS files in TBC, however if you can get me the file I can get it over to someone to take a look and let me know which is the case for this particular file. 

    Regards,

    Well, I have a workaround now. I bring in the LAS into Autodesk ReCap, then export it as an e57. The other thing I now know is that since this is data from an aerial scan, the intensity levels aren't as saturated as a terrestrial scan.
