Abstract

Point cloud data are an important component of geospatial data workflows,
but software and formats to manage it often have compromises that work
against efficient storage and processing of data. While commonly seen
characterizing topographic information in LiDAR applications, point cloud
data are an important driver of change detection applications in SAR
workflows and provide important raw data to bring the physical world to the
augmented one through handset capture on devices like the iPhone 12+.
COPC.io <http://copc.io/> is an open specification by Hobu, Inc. for
organizing point cloud data in LAZ that allows it to be streamable over
HTTP, selectable for resolution or spatial window, and adaptable to
existing point cloud workflows in a backward compatible way. We will
discuss the design choices and evolution of COPC, demonstrate its use in
PDAL and QGIS scenarios, and show how COPC can be used in the cloud for
management of massive point cloud collections.
