Working with Point Cloud Data in QGIS
06-04, 09:00–13:00 (Europe/Stockholm), Lokatten (LWS5)

This workshop will teach you how to work with point cloud data in QGIS. You will learn how to visualize point clouds in both 2D and 3D, style them to highlight important features, and process and edit them to extract meaningful information. The workshop will cover topics such as:

  • Loading and displaying point clouds in QGIS.
  • Navigating and interacting with point clouds in 2D and 3D.
  • Creating profiles and cross sections.
  • Styling point clouds using different attributes and color palettes.
  • Filtering and clipping point clouds to focus on specific areas of interest.
  • Performing basic point cloud processing tasks, such as calculating point density and creating digital elevation models.
  • Editing point clouds to remove noise or correct errors.

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to use QGIS to effectively visualize, analyze, and process point cloud data.
