I am a masters student working with LIDAR and 4 - band satellite imagery to remotely measure above ground biomass of the shrub community encroaching the Illinois Lake Plain region. I am new to working with LIDAR data, and I am contemplating if creating an LAS dataset is necessary or if I should just import the LAS files directly. When working with LAS datasets, if you reclassify a point, will the classification change be reflected in the LAS file or will you have to do that separately?
Belynda, I'm new to LIDAR as well, but have learned a few things. I hope one of the more experienced users will join in, but for now:
I hope this helps - I think creating an LAS Dataset may make it easier to work with these files. https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/help/data/las-dataset/create-a-las-datasets.htm
