pdal performance vs. lastools / pdal is slow on las files larger than 50mb #1356
Comments
Thanks for answer! I didn't check which mode I was using when compiling. Will do and report back! |
Hello! I compiled pdal again. My settings: cmake version 3.5.1 pdal master branchsudo mkdir build Output: The keyword signature for target_link_libraries has already been used with The uses of the keyword signature are here:

-- Configuring done sudo make After testing performance again pdal is 1.95 slower than lastools. This is already simmilar to results to data in #726. Is there any optimization still possible? Because average time processing same data takes 6.7 sec on Ubuntu 16.04 and 6.18 sec on Ubuntu 16.04 through docker pdal container. Thanks Klemen! |
Hello! With further testing I noticed that pdal becomes slow when dealing with larger files (size > 50MB). My pipeline example: { If I alter the clip and merge operation there is no significant diffrence in speed. Any advice for optimisation besides splitting input las files before processing? Thanks Klemen! |
This can be simplified, but I have no idea how it might impact performance on your system. Again, PDAL is NOT going to be as fast as lastools. If you're expecting that, you should use lastools. PDAL supports lots of formats/algorithms/extensibility that isn't supported with lastools and therefore can't be as optimized for the specific cases that lastools handles. { |
Make sure you have plenty of memory on your system that is usable by PDAL. |
Hello! I will try to simplify the pipeline. I will try to optimize input file size and test different pipeline workflows. Thanks for all the help! |
Hello!
I'm testing pdal crop filter and compairing time performance to lastools.
Tests are running on Ubuntu 16.04. Lastools algorithms are run using wine.
Pdal is approximately 15 slower than lastools. Does any one have any experience how to
set pdal to process faster (e. g.: number of core settings, ...)? Or this is the speed achieved for now?
Thanks for any info!
Have a nice day, Klemen!
