Lidar Data Handler

The Lidar Data Handler is an extension to ArcView or ArcGIS, designed to help users manipulate lidar within a Geographic Information System (GIS). Because the tools in the handler were developed to work with the Arc/Info Grid format, users must have Spatial Analyst to run this extension.

Sample Functions
  • Import and export different point and raster files
  • Analyze and profile surfaces created from lidar or other elevation data
  • Symbolize the data to highlight specific attributes
User Requirements
  • ArcView 3.x, 8.x, or 9.x
  • Spatial Analyst
