1. Introduction

In this tutorial we're going to create a raster of the point cloud layer. First, we'll clip the area of interest. Next, we'll use the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method to create rasters of different resolutions. Finally, we'll use the triangulation (TIN) method and compare the results. For comparison, we'll use two linked 2D views and elevation profiles.

After this tutorial, you're able to:

  • clip point cloud data
  • interpolate point cloud data with the Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) method
  • interpolate point cloud data with the triangulation (TIN) method
  • compare rasters using two 2D views
  • compare rasters using elevation profiles

We'll continue with the VPC layer of the previous tutorial. Alternatively, you can use any other point cloud tile.
