LAS 2.0 Specifications

Hot on the heels of the recent release of ASPRS LAS Specification 1.3 (mentioned earlier), the ASPRS Lidar Committee is now undertaking work on LAS 2.0.  LAS Specification 1.3 added support for waveform and flagging of synthetically-generated returns.  The goals and direction for LAS 2.0 are currently under discussion within the ASPRS Lidar Committee.  We welcome your participation at our upcoming meeting at the San Antonio conference – Lidar Hot Topics, Open Discussion – scheduled on Wednesday, November 18, from 4:00 to 5:00 PM.
