Reads a .LAS file, and can do some analysis on the data to help locate caves. Then it outputs either and image or a kml overlay for Google Earth
Release 1.1.0.3
- Added parameters to MakeMap to specify which classifications will be imported into the map.
- Add support for LAS Point data format 0
Release 1.1.0.2
Added scripting command MapDrainage for mapping the drainage of a given las file. Added scripting command DrawIntArray to draw the logrithmic results of the drainage map Updated the Command.md
Release 1.1.0.1
Fixed bugs in the hole filling algorithm, the elevation coloring, and added a geometric filter command to the scripting language. Added the beginning of the reference guide to the scripting language. See Commands.md
Release 1.1.0.0
Reworks much of the code to add a lisp based scripting engine. This is because the commandline options were getting overwhelming. The scripting is more sophisticated and much more flexible. Two scripts were developed one simple and one more complex. Each script has a list of it's own commandline arguments.
Release 1.0.0.4
Adds option for false coloring of elevation
Release 1.0.0.3
Fixes bug and adds ability to read the UTM zones so that the kml puts the overlay in the correct place.
Release 1.0.0.2
Added support for producing a kml that can be imported into Google Earth
Release 1.0.0.1
Changes include optimizations and multithreading for the cave finding algorithm. This produces a 2x speed increase in the algorithm
To run CaveSpy you must open a command line to specify which input file, output file and image size. For example:
C:\> CaveSpy.exe --input MyLidar.las --output MyLidar.bmp --image-size 1600 --look-for-caves --flood 1.0
CaveSpy.exe [--script <script path>] [--verbose] [ script arguments ]");
--script <path> -- the path of the script to execute. If no script is specified 'default.lisp' is used
--verbose -- increase the amount of information printed on the console.
--version -- prints out the version of CaveSpy.exe
script arguments should be commented with in the script. If not then each GetArgs command defines the possible arguments
