How to keep only ground points in your LIDAR using CloudCompare and the CSF filter

In this tutorial we will discover how to use CloudCompare to extract ground points only from an aerial point cloud. We will learn to use the CSF algorithm to filter out unwanted points allowing us to create a DTM in the future.
+++ 🌍 What is CloudCompare?
CloudCompare is a 3D point cloud processing software. It can also handle triangular meshes and calibrated images.
+++ 🗺️ Tales from the GIS?
Tales from the GIS is a geospatial journey into the fascinating world of Geographic Information Systems, telling you stories about nature and world.
+++🧑‍💻Who am I?
Tales from the GIS is hosted by Eduard Roccatello. I love working on innovative solutions: things that change the status quo about spatial data development and usage. My day is full of math and big data. I like to be surrounded by interesting and skilled people. I really do care about user experience and software usability.

How can I calculate the point density of my LiDAR data? for example in reporting in articles as (___ pts/m2)

Hi. Could you tell me how to obtain this point cloud data?

[@talesfromthegis]

This data is from an helicopter survey and it is not publicly available.
Anyway you may find public / open data point clouds on geospatial catalogs all around the world. Check on the local government website for the area you want.
