The getcloud command extracts a point cloud from the Express Server.

Syntax

The getcloud command syntax is:

getcloud?cat=<catalog-name>&item=<item-id>&bounds=<min-x>,<min-y>[,<min-z>],<max-x>,<max-y>[,<max-z>]&oif=<image-format>&thinningfactor=<value>&class=<classification-list>&srs=<output-projection>

Parameters

The following parameters may be used with the getcloud command:

cat

The catalog name.

item

The ID of the item. The itemid is the folder path to the item plus the item name (or iserv-catalog-index, which specifies the spatial index).

The geographic bounds of the requested region. Required, except for min-z and max-z.

oif

Specifies the output image format. Can be las, laz, or sid; default is sid (MrSID Gen 4).
