- dagw 10y agoPersonally I use FME, which costs ~$2500, for processing the point cloud data. But if I put in some effort I could probably duplicate everything I do in FME entirely open source using GDAL,PDAL,GEOS and a bunch of python scripts. The actual shadow casting code is some pretty simple C code I wrote, but both SAGA and GRASS (again both open source) have similar functions you you can either use or be inspired by. Finally for the statistics and post-processing it's just some simple python/numpy code and then GDAL again to output the pretty pictures.
