I have a point cloud with a certain class. This class will be scattered and in clusters within the point cloud, and I want to a) identify these clusters and b) create a point feature layer for the lowest point within these clusters and get the height. 

 

Is this possible with FME?

It depends what kind of clusters, but if these clusters are not overlapping in XY, one way to identify these is to use a HullReplacer. The pointcloud need to be coerced to a single multipoint first using a PointCloudToPointCoercer, else the HullReplacer will not work.

Then use the PointCloudStatisticsCalculator to find the lowest z and a PointCloudFilter to find the points with this z.

Attached sample workspace demonstrating this.
