Dear all,
I want to use the POV-RAY with LIDAR dara. The format of Lidar data could be
ascii file (txt,csv), or las/laz,all including X,Y,Z.
So do you have any recommend tools for transforming xyz data into .pov format??
Thanks a lot.

Is this a cloud of points or does it have some structure?
What is the typical file size and number of points? If you have a small
example it would help.

It just a cloud of points, about 4162388 points.
Like:
data.csv
X Y Z
35174.97656250 446497.71875000 -0.569999
35174.97656250 446497.71875000 8.0200046
35174.97656250 446497.71875000 6.2580003
.......

Have a look at Meshlab http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/
That should allow you to turn your point cloud into a mesh. Then you can
convert it to a povray include file with poseray.
You could also search for Point Clout and PovRay. It will return a few
threads you could read.

If you have access to 'sed', 'tail' and a shell (e.g. in Linux or Cygwin), you
can do this:
you@linux:~$ tail -n +2 lidar.txt | sed s/' '/', '/g | sed s/$/','/ >lidar.csv
('lidar.txt' is the file with your original lidar data.)
A file 'lidar.csv' will then be created, which can be read from a POV-Ray script
like this:
#version 3.7;
#declare NrOfPoints = 4162388;
#declare Points = array[NrOfPoints];
#fopen LidarFile "lidar.csv" read
#declare Cnt = 0;
#while (defined(LidarFile) & Cnt < NrOfPoints)
#read (LidarFile, X, Y, Z)
#declare Points[Cnt] = <X, Y, Z>;
#declare Cnt = Cnt + 1;
#end // for
#fclose LidarFile
#for (Cnt, 0, NrOfPoints-1)
#debug "\n"
#debug concat("Point no. ", str(Cnt, 0, 0), ": ")
#debug concat("<", vstr(3, Points[Cnt], ", ", 0, -1), ">")
#end // for
#debug "\n\n"
And if you have access to 'wc' you can get the number of lines in the lidar.csv
file like this:
you@linux:~$ wc --lines lidar.csv
