Hi, I hope you can help me. I have LiDAR and NIR data where I need to extract the location and possibly the height of the trees along the city boulevard. Thanks so much.

Hi Natalie. Here are the info;

 

 

  • FME Desktop ESRI Edition (Floating) : FME ® 2017.0.0.0 (20170228 – Build 17529 – Win64)
  • Input – NIR Raster data in TIFF and LAS file. The LAS file is really big. I just took a screen shot (below). I have an idea about getting the tree heights after identifying the tree location using ArcMap’s Geoprocessing tools.
  • Sample Tile info below:

     

     

     

  • Screen shot of the LAS data (451 LAS files (Classified)

 

 

 

  • The Output looks like below. I started using ESRI’s. The output will be a point feature in SHP or FGDB format.

 

I started a workspace but not really successful.

Hi @ruby. This point cloud workspace created by @dmitribagh for the 2016 World Tour may be helpful in getting started with workspace creation: https://www.dropbox.com/s/d9lon9qqa8492wr/PC_Sort_Merge_for_DEM_Class.fmwt?dl=0
