How can I use FME Data Inspector to view point cloud classifications?


I'm new to FME, and have been asked to look into quality control of land cover classification for processed point clouds. Currently, I'm hoping to use the Data Inspector to review the classification of land cover in las files, yet I can't figure out how to symbolize the point cloud by classification attribute. I haven't been able to find any documentation on this, could anyone help?

Hi @ibachmansanders, about Classification Point Cloud has a interessant Recorded Webinar about this:

Hi @ibachmansanders

 

If you have the point cloud classification available as an attribute you can set the inspector transformer within FME to fanout based on classification, that way you could turn off different classifications in the Data Inspector display panel.

Thanks for the tip! Would the fanout be something I build using Attribute Splitter or a similar transformer(s)? Since the point cloud is a single feature, it stores its classification values as components instead of attributes, so I can't access them with these tools.
