LIS Profiles

LIS Profiles - inspect transects

This package contains tools to query, inspect and plot transects from point clouds, grids and shapefiles.


Tool: Profile Plotter

Features
• generation of profile plots from a table or shapefile
• profile is output as point and line shapefiles
• zooming, panning, and measurement of distances
• user-defined colorization
Application
• creation of plots from transects queried from point clouds, grids or shapefiles
• measurement of, e.g., building heights or the interspace between high-voltage power lines and the terrain

Tool: Profile from Contour Shapes

Features
• generation of transects from both 2D and 3D contour line shapefiles
• profile line can be provided by line shapefile
• output as 3D point shapefile
Application
• generation of transects

Tool: Profile from Grids

Features
• query of transects from one or more grid data sets
• optionally together with a point cloud
• profile line(s) can be provided as line shapefile, coordinate list, or start/end coordinates
• flipping of the profile direction, optional
• splitting of the profile into two parts (negative/positive), optional
• application of profile offset, optional
• vertical exaggeration, optional
• output as point/line shapefile
Application
• generation of transects / cross sections
• quality control (point cloud vs. grid)
• multitemporal change detection (grid stack)

Tool: Profile from Grids [interactive]

Features
• query of transects from one or more grid data sets
• optionally together with a point cloud
• profile line is digitized in a Map View
• vertical exaggeration, optional
• automatic generation of profile plots, optional
• output as point/line shapefile
• digitized profile line is output as shapefile
Application
• generation of transects
• quality control (point cloud vs. grid)
• multitemporal change detection (grid stack)

Tool: Profile from Point Cloud

Features
• query of transects from a point cloud data set
• optionally together with a grid data set
• profile line can be provided as line shapefile, coordinate list, or start/end coordinates
• width of the queried corridor can be specified
• flipping of the profile direction, optional
• splitting of profile into two parts (negative/positive), optional
• application of profile offset, optional
• vertical exaggeration, optional
• attachment point cloud attributes to the result, optional
• displacement between each point and the profile line is reported
• output as point shapefile (point cloud is optional)
Application
• generation of transects
• quality control (point cloud vs. grid)

Tool: Profile from Point Cloud [interactive]

Features
• query of transects from a point cloud data set
• optionally together with a grid data set
• profile line is digitized in a Map View
• width of the queried corridor can be specified
• vertical exaggeration, optional
• attachment of point cloud attributes to the result, optional
• displacement between each point and the profile line is reported
• output as point shapefile (point cloud is optional)
• digitized profile line is output as shapefile
Application
• generation of transects
• quality control (point cloud vs. grid)
