Massive Point Clouds for eSciences

The initial content of this website orgins from the NLeSc project 'Massive Point Clouds for eSciences' (during the years 2013-2015 with Projectnummer 027.012.101).

The main goal of this escience project was to develop an infrastructure for the storage, the management, the analysis and processing, the dissemination, the visualisation and the manipulation of massive point clouds.
