I’ve long wanted to build my own point cloud viewer. While CloudCompare is my daily driver, I would also like something that I can extend and run algorithms in. I’ve previously taken a look at Unity, […]
One peculiarity of Rust is its Result type. In many other programming languages, you’ll probably use a bool or int to indicate successful function execution. If you’re new to Rust and take a look at Rust code, you’ll […]
Despite a history with Linux that reaches back more than 25 years, Windows is my main desktop operating system – partly because having been in corporate environments where I was force to use it, partly because […]
After first investigating Rust superficially some time ago, I’ve now started to really use it. As I’ve written before, my programming background is C/C++, Fortran, C#, and more recently Python. With that experience, some things about […]
LAZ is my preferred point cloud format, as it is a lossless compressed format that is considerably smaller than uncompressed LAS. One thing that has always bugged me is that reading LAZ is quite slow, at […]
My go-to programming languages are C/C++ for numerical computations and data processing, C# for Windows GUI applications, and Python for quick scripts and machine learning. Nevertheless I decided to take a look at Rust, as it […]
