The Live View Point Source ID Tab

*Live View is available in all license levels of LP360.

Point Source ID is a data field on each point.  It is a 16 bit unsigned integer field (so can represent 0 to 65,535) that is typically used to indicate the flight line for LIDAR data.  It is usually populated with a value of zero for point clouds derived from imagery. 

Point Source ID is not enforced in the LAS standard and therefore is sometimes used for proprietary purposes.

LP360 provides a display mode to display by Point Source ID.

The Point Source ID tab on Live View is used to color the display characteristics.
