•LAS Viewing Software (for FREE)

QT Readerhttp://www.appliedimagery.com/download.php

Fugro Viewer - http://www.fugroviewer.com/ View Your Data Incorporate LAS, ASCII, and 32-bit GeoTIFF files Display elevation and terrain model data in standard ortho, 3D perspective, and cross-section/profile views Colorize TINs by elevation using blue-to-red, earth tone, or intensity values Overlay imagery and vectors onto your 3D elevation and terrain datasets

Analyze Your Data Examine LiDAR point clouds by classification, flight line, return number, or source ID Generate contour overlays from the source data

Communicate Your Data Collect and edit point-of-interest markers and create area-of-interest polygons for efficient problem solving and discussions Generate compelling graphics from your geospatial data for use in reports, presentations, demos, etc.

and others?...

LiDAR Software Resources•LAS Viewing and Processing Tools (for FREE)LAStools - http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/lastools/

If you can think it you can most likely do it with LAStools!

Provides a GUI interface, but the Command Line execution for batch processing of LiDAR data is great!

I use it for QC of Woolpert’s LiDAR delivereries

Tools to classify, tile, convert, filter, raster, triangulate, contour, clip, and polygonize LiDAR data (to name just a few)

Also available as a LiDAR processing toolbox for Esri ArcGIS versions 9.3, 10.0, and 10.1
