What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. double clicking the LidarTools.sav file, dropping it on the IDL VM icon or 
opening it through the open menu of IDL VM


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

 it gives the following error message:

"keyword BITMAP not allowed in call to: WIDGET_BASE
Execution halted at: LIDARTOOLS
IDLRTMAIN
$MAIN$   "


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Lidartools_2.x.x     installed IDL VM on 32 bit windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.
I am new to using these tools. Can the developmental version be used by the 
general user?  If yes then any help in making this work would be much 
appreciated.

Thanks

Bab

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download LiDARTools_2.x.x-dev10.zip
2. Run Lidar Tools
3. Look at version at the left top of the window and under help

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect v 2.x.x-dev 10
I see instead v 2.x.x-dev 9
I hope it is only a cosmetic issue.

2. Open ENVI 5.1
3. Look for LiDAR Tools Menu between  "Topographic" and "Radar" menus

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-To see the BCAL LiDAR extension.
-Does not appears.

Hi,
I just filled in the pre-written info to describe the issue with trying to run 
the BCAL tools in ENVI 5.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Copying lidartools_bcal.sav into ...ENVI50\ENVI50\extensions folder
2. Opening ENVI 5

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Seeing the BCAL folder with all its subfolders and tools in the ENVI 5 toolbox 
would be expected, but I only see one tool icon named "lidartools_bcal" that 
doesn't seem to do anything when I click on it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using the BCAL_LiDARTools-1.4.1 version for ENVI 5 on Windows 7 Enterprise 
SP1, 32-bit

Please provide any additional information below.
The other BCAL tool (LiDARTools-1.4.2) for ENVI Classic works just fine, as do 
other sav files I loaded into ENVI 5

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Export las2shp
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Full 6 decimal resolution for GPS time output. I am only seeing 4 decimal 
places.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
IDL 8.4 Bcal 2.x.xdev1.1

Please provide any additional information below.

The Fugro Lidar viewer (http://www.fugroviewer.com) has a quite good and 
interactive feature to visualize cross sections and profiles which is quite 
useful for some exploratory data analysis and for presentations. You can simply 
draw a rectangle in the Lidar overview "image" (left side), and the cross 
section will be visualized on the right hand side. Do you intend to further 
develop your LiDAR viewer in this direction? 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Lidar .las data file with no projection info: output of height filtering to 
assign ground / non-ground
2. Run the Tools: Analysis==>Create Raster Product ==> Topographic (Bare Earth)
3. Load raster into ArcGis or similar

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected out put is raster:  This does happen however the output looks as if it 
is shifted downwards so that the top edge of the image is where the bottom edge 
should be.  Attached image demonstrates the problem

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.x.x on idl virtual machine ver 8.2: Windows 7 professional

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install LiDARTools-1.5.3-envi4x as it says in the instructions
2. Open ENVI 4.7
3. Look for LiDAR Tools Menu between  "Topographic" and "Radar" menus

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I exprect to see the BCAL LiDAR Tools.
The LiDARTools do not appear.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
LiDARTools-1.5.3-envi4x
ENVI 4.7
Win7 64 

Please provide any additional information below.
It worked fine with the version before (LiDARTools-1.5.3-envi4x)

I found the approach by Popescu and Zhao 2008 (A voxel-based lidar method for 
estimating crown base height for deciduous and pine trees)
quite useful to analyse vegetation structure (density). 
Do you have any plans to implement such a voxel tool? In my opinion, it would 
nicely complement your vegetation height feature and enable the user to conduct 
stratified vegetation density analysis.

After conversion of ascii xyz lidar data to las format I permormed height 
filtering.
The las file obtained as output has been then used to trace elevation profiles. 
The obtained profiles show coincident transects for vegetation and bare earth, 
as if height filtering didn't work. I tried to apply the same procedure also to 
a native las file (not coming from a xyz conversion) covering the same area and 
the result obtained is what I expected to get, with two distinct lines for 
vegetation top and bare earth.
I'm using BCAL Lidar tools 1.4.2 with Envi 4.8 on winXPPro.
Thanks again.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Tiling las-files (4 return airborne lidar flightlines, up to 6gb size, only 
class 1)
2. Retreiving header info
3. checking number of points, 1st returns, 2nd returns, 3rd returns, 4th returns

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
number of points should be the sum of all returns
instead, number of points always/for all files equals 1st returns whereas 2nd 
return is always/for all files is 3251850, 3rd return is 131078, and 4rth 
return is 1153.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Win 8 64 bit, ENVI 5.1, bcal envi extension 1.5.2

Please provide any additional information below.
If I retrieve the header information before tiling, everthing seems fine. But 
the files are so large which neiter ENVI nor ArcGIS/QGIS appreciate so I would 
prefer tiling. I don't want to decimate, maybe subsets are an option. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Would like another option in the Select Fields drop down list.  
2. Would like to have an XYZ R I

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

i tried to convert some xyz lidar files to .las format. Everything seems to 
work fine and new files are generated quickly. But when i try to view the 
result with the 3D LIDAR Viewer i get back an error message "variable is 
undefined: ASCIIPARAMS" or "triangulate: not enough valid and unique points 
specified". 

I'm using BCAL LiDAR Tools 1.4.2 in Envi 4.8 and my PC works with Windows XP Pro

How can i get out of this? Thanx. Flavio
