blast2iso:
##########
This tool can reads billion of LIDAR points from the LAS/LAZ
format, triangulates them a seamless (!) TIN, and extracts
contours at the specified elevations from the TIN. Optionally
the TIN can first be smoothed, the contours be simplified or
cleaned. and the output be tiled. Supported output formats are
SHP, TXT, WKT, or KML. The latter is only possible if there
is geo-referencing information in the input file or if it is
specified explicitely in the command line.
# Control parameters:
-smooth [n]
Number of smooth iterations. Typical values are between [2..20].
Option operates on the TIN before extracting the contours and
hence is safe.
-clean [n]
Removes entire contours shorter than [n] units.
You can get less wiggly contours by first thinning the points
with the '-contours' option available in lasthin.
Caution: -clean on las2iso is different!
Note: to guarantee non-crossing iso-contours the '-simplify'
(or '-simplify_length) and the '-simplify_area' parameters
should not be used (or set to zero). This is because those
two options directly try to simplify individual contours after
they were extracted, which can lead to crossing.
Isolines crossing triangles whose edge length is larger than a
threshold can be eliminated with the '-kill 250' option. The
default is a kill of 50 meter. Use '-kill 1000000' to disable
this. The value is always assumed to be meters and will be
multipled with 3.28 for LAS/LAZ files where x and y are known
to be in feet.
This is part of the BLAST extension pack of LAStools that is
built on streaming TINs via spatial finalization & streaming
Delaunay. Please license from info@rapidlasso.de before
you use blast2iso commercially.

example with LAZ file from the .\lastools\data folder:
>> blast2iso -i ..\data\TO_core_last_zoom.laz -o contours.shp -iso_every 10
>> blast2iso -i ..\data\TO_core_last_zoom.laz -o contours.shp -iso_every 20
>> blast2iso -i ..\data\TO_core_last_zoom.laz -o contours.kml -iso_every 10 -utm 17T
>> blast2iso -i ..\data\TO_core_last_zoom.laz -o contours.kml -iso_every 20 -utm 17T
example usage:
>> blast2iso -i *.laz -merged -keep_class 2 8 -o contours.shp -iso_every 2
combines the ground points of all LAZ files that match *.las, creates
seamlessly contours every two elevation units (feet or meters), and
stores the resulting contours in SHP format.
>> blast2iso -i *.las -oshp -iso_every 10
contours all points of each LAS files *.las individually with a
spacing of 10 units between contours and stores each resulting
set of coutours in SHP format.
>> blast2iso -i *.laz -merged -utm 17T -iso_every 5 -o merged_contours.kml
contours the merged points all the LAZ files *.laz with a contour
spacing of 5 units and stores the result in KML format under the
assumption that all points are in UTM zone 17T.
