    3 The usual form of delivery of the processed LiDAR data is in the form of a point cloud. This takes one of two forms; [http://arsf-dan.nerc.ac.uk/trac/wiki/FAQ/lidarasciiformat ASCII text files] or binary [http://www.asprs.org/Committee-General/LASer-LAS-File-Format-Exchange-Activities.html LAS] files. The point clouds contain all the LiDAR data as vectors, a list of individual points, rather than as rasterised data.

The files contain the coordinates of each detected LiDAR return, from these a raster DEM can be created.

    39 To remove them from LAS files it is suggested to download the [http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/lastools/ LASTools] package, specifically the [http://www.cs.unc.edu/~isenburg/lastools/download/las2las_README.txt las2las] tool.

    41 This can be used to remove noise points by typing:
     40The following command can be used to create a copy of the LAS file, removing points flagged as noise:
