Notes on how to convert point clouds in .laz format to the cloud optimized entwine format. The converted clouds can be visualized with potree.

Convert .laz to entwine

entwine build -i /path/to/pointcloud.laz -0 /path/to/entwine/out/

Visualize

Run local HTTP server for entwine directory

http-server /path/to/entwine/out -p 3001 --cors

Run potree to view

npm start

In a browser:
http://localhost:1234/examples/ept.html?r=http://127.0.0.1:3001/D768/ept.json

Installation

Create new conda env with entwine

micromamba create -n entwine entwine

Setup local http server

This will serve as data source for potree web app.

micromamba install nodejs -y
npm install http-server -g

potree

The actual webapp to view the clouds.

git clone [email protected]:potree/potree.git
npm install
