Builds a potree octree from las, laz, binary ply, xyz or ptx files.
- Source Code and windows 64bit releases
- 64bit VS2015 redistributable - necessary to exexute PotreeConverter!

Converts las files to the potree file format. You can list multiple input files. If a directory is specified, all files inside the directory will be converted.
Options:
-h [ --help ] prints usage
-p [ --generate-page ] arg Generates a ready to use web page with the given name.
-o [ --outdir ] arg output directory
-s [ --spacing ] arg Distance between points at root level. Distance halves each level.
-d [ --spacing-by-diagonal-fraction ] arg
Maximum number of points on the diagonal in the first level (sets spacing). spacing = diagonal / value
-l [ --levels ] arg Number of levels that will be generated. 0: only root, 1: root and its children, ...
-f [ --input-format ] arg Input format. xyz: cartesian coordinates as floats, rgb: colors as numbers, i: intensity as number
--color-range arg
--intensity-range arg
--output-format arg Output format can be BINARY, LAS or LAZ. Default is BINARY
-a [ --output-attributes ] arg can be any combination of RGB, INTENSITY, CLASSIFICATION and NORMAL. Default is RGB.
--scale arg Scale of the X, Y, Z coordinate in LAS and LAZ files.
--aabb arg Bounding cube as "minX minY minZ maxX maxY maxZ". If not provided it is automatically computed
--incremental Add new points to existing conversion
--overwrite Replace existing conversion at target directory
--source arg Source file. Can be LAS, LAZ, PTX or PLY
Examples:
# convert data.las and generate web page.
./PotreeConverter.exe C:/data.las -o C:/potree_converted -p pageName
# generate compressed LAZ files instead of the default BIN format.
./PotreeConverter.exe C:/data.las -o C:/potree_converted --output-format LAZ
# convert all files inside the data directory
./PotreeConverter.exe C:/data -o C:/potree_converted
# first, convert with custom bounding box and then append new_data.las afterwards.
# points in new_data MUST fit into bounding box!
./PotreeConverter.exe C:/data -o C:/potree_converted -aabb "-0.748 -2.780 2.547 3.899 1.867 7.195"
./PotreeConverter.exe C:/new_data.las -o C:/potree_converted --incremental
