How 360-geo/copc-converter works

copc_converter converts one or more LAS/LAZ files into COPC point-cloud files, with a typestate pipeline also exposed as a library. The documented workflow scans inputs, validates shared metadata, counts and partitions points, distributes scratch data, builds the octree, and writes the output. The map also includes documented memory budgeting, Extra Bytes/CRS handling, optional temporal indexing, and analysis tools. Stage ordering and tool capabilities come from the README; some internal calls are unsampled, so only indexed or documented relationships are shown.

Main entry points: lib.rs Typestate pipeline · writer.rs COPC writer · main.rs CLI entry point · octree.rs Octree build
