Can take over a century of fires
and haze until all peat is lost

Methods
We are using open source software
• PDAL - Point Data Abstraction Library
• Displaz - A hackable LiDAR viewer
• Potree – Web based LiDAR viewer
Most processing is done in self developed Julia
scripts, with reusable parts shared with the
community on GitHub.
![Page 28: DSD-INT 2016 LiDAR & lowland water management in Indonesia - Visser](https://reader031.vdocuments.pub/reader031/viewer/2022021814/58f0af8d1a28ab8e7c8b4635/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Methods
Julia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic
programming language for technical
computing.
Computationally heavy to process point clouds.
One language for prototyping and large scale
application.
Easy to develop your own fast algorithms.

Conclusions
LiDAR data, even if not full coverage, can provide a tremendous
amount of insight into the water management issues in the
peatlands of Indonesia.
Based on this data measures can be taken to prevent further
degradation.
