Introduction

pdal-parallelizer is a tool that allows you to process your point clouds through pipelines that will be executed on several cores of your machine. This tool uses the flexible open-source Python library Dask for the multiprocess side and allows you to use the power of the Point Data Abstraction Library, PDAL to write your pipelines.

It also protect you from any problem during the execution. Indeed, as the points clouds treatments can be really long, if something goes wrong during the execution you don’t want to restart this from the beginning. So pdal-parallelizer will serialize each pipeline to protect you from this.
