ROS has a wrapper (
http://wiki.ros.org/pcl) for Point Cloud Library (
http://pointclouds.org) which has a lot of functionality to process lidar data. To cut out certain region from PointCloud you may want to take a look at PassThrough filter (
http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/passthrough.php).
