readers.ptx

readers.ptx#

The PTX reader reads data from Leica Cyclone PTX files. It infers dimensions from points stored in a text file.

Note

PTX files can contain multiple point clouds stored in a single file. If that is the case, the reader will read all the points from all of the internal point clouds as one. :::

Default Embedded Stage

This stage is enabled by default

Example Pipeline#

[
    {
        "type":"readers.ptx",
        "filename":"test.ptx"
    },
    {
        "type":"writers.text",
        "filename":"outputfile.txt"
    }
]

Options#

filename

File to read. [Required]

count

Maximum number of points to read. [Default: unlimited]

override_srs

Spatial reference to apply to the data. Overrides any SRS in the input itself. Can be specified as a WKT, PROJ or EPSG string. Can’t use with ‘default_srs’. [Default: none]

default_srs

Spatial reference to apply to the data if the input does not specify one. Can be specified as a WKT, PROJ or EPSG string. Can’t use with ‘override_srs’. [Default: none]

discard_missing_points

Each point cloud in a PTX file is “fully populated”, in that the point cloud will contain missing points with XYZ values of “0 0 0”. When this option is enabled, we will skip over any missing input points. [Default: true]
