Basic Filter Property Page

The Basic Filter point cloud task allows you to define one or more point filters and assign the set of points matching the point filter to a classification. A point filter is defined using the Display Filter Property Pages.

The Basic Filter is useful for conducting simple passes of data in a LIDAR project. Assigning noise points in the initial steps of a project is a simple but practical example. The filter can also be useful for swapping classifications of points. For example, placing ground points that are on a nonstandard class to the standard classification value of 2.

How to Use the Basic Filter Point Cloud Task

1. Use the Add Files command to open the LAS files that contain the data you want to use.

2. Use the Add Task command to create a new point cloud task. When you are selecting a Task Type in the Add Point Cloud Task dialog, select Basic Filter. Once you click OK, you should see the unique name that you gave your task selected in the list and the Basic Filter property page displayed on the Point Cloud Task tab.

3. Specify the settings for the Basic Filter operation in the Properties page that displays and then hit apply. Use the tools on the LP360 Point Cloud Tasks toolbar to execute the task.
