Input format #27

Closed darrepac closed 9 months ago

Hi

I was willing to use the PDAL Thin filtering on a layer with billions of points (just lat/lon coordinate). Input is either gpkg or geoparquet but none seems supported by the plugin: image Is it normal?

thanks

Gpkg or geoparquet are ordinary vector formats, not proper point cloud formats. PDAL does not currently have a reader that would be able to ingest point vector layers. I can imagine at some point PDAL would have readers.ogr that would make all sorts of vector formats available to PDAL (https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/index.html)...

I am closing this issue for now as we would first need the functionality in PDAL, until then this is out of scope...
