After a LiDAR flight, we can get a file containing the airplane trajectory in SBET format - Smoothed Best Estimate of Trajectory.
Is it possible to open it in a GIS software like QGIS or ArcGIS?
If not, is there a way to convert it into a readable file?
Answer
PDAL has an SBET reader (and a writer too) that you could use to convert the file into text and then on to most other formats.
pdal translate myfile.sbet output.txt
When working with Lat/Lon default precision is not enough, so use:
pdal translate myfile.sbet output.txt -w writers.text --writers.text.precision=5
It is a very simple format. See the PDAL source code for more detail on what's in there.
