Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based LiDAR viewer for drone scans, terrestrial laser data, phone captures, and streaming point-cloud datasets.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The page describes a seven-rung evidence ladder from E0 to E6 and says 17 claims currently agree with an independent implementation at E4, while explicitly recording no E5 field-accuracy claims. Its terrain workflow combines ground classification, a gridded DTM with per-cell confidence and hold-out RMSE, and derived products such as canopy height, slope, hillshade, TPI, and VRM. Export behavior is conditional: the site says results may be stamped, watermarked, or refused when evidence is insufficient.
