archivers/laszip 3.4.4 OpenBSD

LASzip quickly turns bulky LAS files into compact LAZ files without information loss and is the de-facto standard for LiDAR compression.

LASzip compression can be many times smaller and many times faster than generic compressors like bz2, gzip, and rar because it knows what the different bytes in a LAS file represent. Another advantage of LASzip is that it allows you to treat compressed LAZ files just like standard LAS files. You can load them directly from compressed form into your application without needing to decompress them onto disk first.
