Benchmarking Cloud-Optimized Point Clouds (COPC) for Scientific LiDAR Workflows
Harshini Girish, Rajat Shinde, Alex Mandel
Cloud Optimized Point Cloud enables selective LiDAR access without full downloads. We benchmark LAS versus COPC performance with lasR on NASA MAAP using GEDI CalVal data, evaluating conversion, remote reads, query windows, and end-to-end DTM/CHM product generation.
