Thanks, That is good news. Is the buffer still at 16 mb? If so, why keep it this low? Lidar is very demanding even for the best rigs. I will test out the algorithms and keep you posted on differences between nn models. Will recompile if the buffer is still at 16 mg. I will also look at t

Hi Nicolas, I see someone already posted something about lidar2dems. We also wanted to use only open-source, so put together this project to easily be able to make DEMs using what's out there already. The documentation gives an overview of what it can do and a tutorial for processing a large are

Thanks Even, One last question about the buffer. Is 2GB is the max buffer size for gdal_grid? If I select that, am I likely to run into problem with some values? Apart from trial and error, is there a balance that should be stuck between available computer memory (currently at 64GB), input file

Hi Even, Thank you very much. I increased the buffer to 1.5 GB (512+512+514)*1024*1024 and I can now work much much faster with gdal_grid. Does gdal_fillnodata have the same type of variable that could speed things up? It is also slow and does not seem speeded up by the "All_CPUS". I will use

Hi, I have been using gdal_grid to interpolate LiDAR data for some time now.  This would be a typical command: gdal_grid -l P0344_sol2004_XYZI_MTM8_CGVD28_150529 -txe 348733.0 401135.0 -tye 5568587.0 5773796.0 -a nearest:radius1=3.0:radius2=3.0:angle=0.0:nodata=0.0 -outsize 52402.0 205209.0 -o
