In this section, the table summarizes the available useful packages, software solutions which can be useful during LiDAR data processing.
Functions: 1. Point cloud visualization and possibilities for adjusting (manual classification, cutting), 2. Feature calculation based on point cloud neighborhood, 3. Raster-based feature extraction, 4. Point Cloud classification (DTM generation), 5. Georeferencing, 6. Segmentation, 7. Radiometric calibration, 8. Feature extraction for vegetation analysis, 9. GIS tool (for example image analysis algorithm (edge detection))
