Hello Parth,

you have two options to turn LAS/LAZ into KML content give that you
have geo-referencing in your data or that you know it.

(1) create png rasters

las2dem -i lidar.las ^
-first_only ^
-step 2 -hillshade ^
-utm 17N ^
-o dsm.png

las2dem -i lidar.las ^
-keep_class 2 ^
-step 0.5 -hillshade ^
-utm 19N ^
-o dtm.png

lasgrid -i lidar.las ^
-last_only ^
-step 5 -density_16bit ^
-false -set_min_max 0 50
-utm 19N ^
-o density_2pts.png

lasgrid -i lidar.las ^
-last_only ^
-step 5 -density_16bit ^
-false -set_min_max 0 100
-utm 19N ^
-o density_4pts.png

(2) create boundaries or contour lines

lasboundary -i lidar.las ^
-concavity 25 ^
-disjoint -holes ^
-utm 32N ^
-o boundary.kml

las2tin -i lidar.las ^
-keep_class 2 ^
-iso_every 2 ^
-smooth 2 -simplify 1 -clean 5 ^
-utm 32N ^
-o iso_2m.kml

And many variations thereof ... it's not really practical to render
the LAS points of a LiDAR file directly in GE. Too many points ...
