Crowd funding alert: Point Clouds, Elevation Profiles and 3D Map view improvements!

***Update! We reached €88000, above and beyond our goal (€75000) and our stretch goals (€83000). We would like to thank everyone who pledged however big or small - every bit counts. We will be putting the additional funds raids towards further improvements and bug fixing. ***

Together with our partners at Lutra Consulting and Hobu, Inc. we have once again have collated your feature requests for even MORE point cloud and QGIS elevation improvements and are ready to start working on them!

Here’s a taster of what to expect if our latest crowd funding campaign is successful:

  • Point cloud data management, transformation and analysis via incorporation of PDAL within the QGIS "Processing" toolbox
  • Optimised handling of large datasets to speed up your 3D maps, including dynamic data loading for complex 3D scenes
  • Combine multiple LAS/LAZ point cloud files into a single "virtual" point cloud for easy data management and display
  • Elevation profile tool embedded into print layouts, totally customizable, more efficient and with the ability to export profile data to CSV and DXF
  • General improvements to QGIS 3D map views, including an enhanced 3D measuring tool, additional camera controls and improving the configuration dialog options and functionality.

To find out more, check out the ‘Detailed proposal and deliverables’ section on the main crowd funding page. You may want to get some popcorn ready, it really is exciting!

I have a suggestion, QGIS is great with viewing Raster and LiDAR data. However, what would be useful to users is a single toolset that would enable users to perform pre-processing, viewing, analysis and post processing operations on both satellite and LiDAR datasets. Separate toolsets exist to perform these operations but it is time consuming to move between them. A single core plugin that worked in MacOS, Linux and Windows would reduce the time it takes to create and publish a GIS project. I would be willing to partner and/or work to evaluate, test and/or create projects, courses that utilize said plugin. Feel free to visit my website: https://www.gisfreeway.ca.
