- normalization of data (DSM-DTM)- inverting (watershed)- thresholding- gaussian (or similar) smoothing- production of a custom DTM (Adaptive tin)- use of morphing techniques

- GIS aware
- library dedicated to
- sciences that make use of
- LiDAR data
LESTOLiDAR Empowered Sciences Toolbox Opensource
Maintained by the team of prof. Tonon
at the Faculty of Science and Technology
at the Free University of Bolzano.

/21 Future plans
- -
the first tools in the toolbox are forestry relatedand particularly dedicated to a single tree approach to calculate the forest structure biomassthe toolbox is open to contributions on any LiDAR related(future might even bring roads or buildings extraction)
- -
(...depending on the results on the validations in progress...)
stabilization and release of the current modulesdata quality analysis (i.e. which data quantity/quality is necessary to gain certain results?)
future developments will bring:

/21 Open and shared approach
LESTO will be released under Open Source License(GPL v3) on the JGrasstools website after the first round of deep testing+fixing.
The open science approach is a natural choice for ourteam and we think it is in general for a university department.
Our thoughts reflect the "think global, fix local"approach, and even if the tools are released globally,they are meant in first place to be used by our professionals and local administration on the territory.
