I have Lidar data in Raster format in decimeter and I wish to convert it to feet using the raster calculator ? Can someone show me how this can be done?
If you have a raster created from the lidar points then simply multiplying the raster by the conversion factor, 0.32808399. You cannot modify the actual las points with the raster calculator just the raster created from them. Alternatively, you can also just use the Times tool to create the same effect.
The Times tool or the Raster Calculator are the most straight forward options for doing simple unit conversion. I suppose if you wanted to get fancy though you could make a mosaic dataset out of the data in decimeters and then apply the Arithmetic function to change your units on-the-fly.
Did you ask for alternatives because you don't have SA or 3D? My alternative method only requires ArcEditor with no licensing required for extensions.
