Hi,
So I would like to try to work out a point source ID for point clouds based on continuous chunks of time. Basically separating out flightlines.
For example, a point should has 30 points. The first 10 are collected in the first 10 seconds, then there is a gap of 1 minute before capture, and then another 10 are collected, then another minute gap, then the last points. So in this case I would like to determine a unique component value for each of the 3 time related groups.
I think I can do this if I coerce the cloud to points. But that really isn’t efficient for billions of points.
I also won’t know beforehand how many different continuous capture periods there are.
Can anyone think of a way to do this? It’s pretty easy to do in lastools. But in this case I’d like to do it in FME. I don’t know any python which I presume could do it.
I am ideally wanting this to work in version 2022, but I’m open to a newer version if that is the only chance of doing this.
Thanks
