libLAS - Implementation of ASPRS LAS File FormatIn Autumn 2007, Howard Butler and I, we launched a software project called libLAS. It’s an Open Source Software project dedicated to develop C++ library and utilities for reading and writing LIDAR data encoded in ASPRS LAS file format:

The LAS file format is a public file format for the interchange of LIDAR data between vendors and customers.

The libLAS core library is written in C++ programming language. Thin layer with definition of C API is also provided. Howard also developed bindings for Python programming language. Recently, Martin Rodriguez submitted bindings for C# programming language from both implementations, .NET and Mono.
