Feature: Add filtering by rectangle and expression to PDAL algorithms

Added the option to filter input point cloud by rectangle (extent) and expression in the following PDAL algorithms:

  • boundary
  • clip
  • density
  • export to raster (normal and TIN variants)
  • export to vector
  • merge
  • thin

This allows the processing of only a subset of points from the input file(s), without the need to performing an intermediate filtering step or generating temporary files.
For these who need only filtering there is also a separate Filter algorithm capable of filtering either by extent, by expression or by their combination.

This feature was funded by Point cloud processing and 3D data enhancements crowdfunding
