R package for Airborne LiDAR Data Manipulation and Visualization for Forestry Applications
The lidR package provides functions to read and write .las
and .laz
files, plot a point cloud, compute metrics using an area-based approach, compute digital canopy models, thin lidar data, manage a catalog of datasets, automatically extract ground inventories, process a set of tiles in multicore, individual tree segmentation, classify data from geographic data, and provides other tools to manipulate LiDAR data.
Development of the lidR package between 2015 and 2017 was made possible thanks to the financial support of the AWARE project; grantee Prof Nicholas Coops.
Please contact the author for bug reports or feature requests (on github, preferably). I enjoy implementing new features!
