A growing number of countries are using airborne lidar scanning to collect geospatial point-cloud data at sub-meter-scale resolution for their whole territory and making it freely available. PointClouds.jl allows you to make use of such datasets by locating available data for your coordinates of interest, downloading and reading the data in the specialized LAS format, and extracting useful information from the raw point cloud through a series of processing steps.
