1. A number of valuable comments were recieved from those who are already using 64 bit technology.
2. Performance is outstanding and ROI appears high, especially if you go with GRASS and Linux since these are free.
3. Looks like pressure is needed to move the big players, but QT Modeler is already there.

1. Jarlath O’Neil-Dunne noted that he thinks tiled LiDAR data should include an overlap.
2. This would allow 32-bit software to mosaic the tiles and eliminate edge effects.
3. Applied Imagery’s 64 bit version of QT Modeler is an alternative.

1. I wanted to highlight an important comment on last week’s “intensity” blog post.
2. Jarlath O’Neil-Dunne from the UVM Spatial Analysis Lab is finding intensity to be a valuable attribute.
3. In high contrast regions LiDAR intensity can provide important clues for land use mapping.
