Lidar data is difficult to access for regular users due to the very large memory volume required and the need to handle it with powerful computers and quite expensive specialized software. The presented web application is offered for free in the LidarTools version and at a low cost in the LidarMap version, which combines shape-type vector data with the Lidar point cloud. The application uses a POTREE structure adapted for rapid visualization functions but enhanced with functions for measuring in the point cloud (distances, areas), visualization functions, profile extraction, statistical functions, semi-automatic vectorization functions of linear objects (power lines), coordinate transformation functions, as well as other functions specific to users of such data. It is also presented here the project for stereo vectoring module in LidarMap application.
