  Description     : LAZperf is an alternative LAZ (Compressed LAS pointclouds) decoding implementation.

It supports compilation to WASM via Emscripten so that LAZ data can be decoded in a browser.
LAZperf is a dependecy for the PDAL library (https://github.com/PDAL/PDAL/).
PDAL can be used as a library for QGIS (https://qgis.org) to be able to read/analyze point clouds.

I'm planning to maintain both LAZperf and PDAL with the science packaging team.

If I'm correct I'm also looking for a sponsor. But I'm very new to Debian packaging, so every help is appreciated

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde
