In VoxR: Trees Geometry and Morphology from Unstructured TLS Data

Description

Voxelisation of 3D point cloud recording the number of points within each voxels.

Usage

vox(data, res, full.grid, message)

Arguments

data	a data.frame or data.table containing the x, y, z, ... coordinates of a point cloud.
res	numeric. Resolution of a voxel.
full.grid	logical. If TRUE empty voxels contained in the tree bounding box are returned. If FALSE, only filled voxels are returned. Default = FALSE.
message	logical. If FALSE, messages are disabled. Default = TRUE.

Value

A data.frame or data.table containing the x, y, z coordinates of the voxel center and the number of points within each voxel of a voxel cloud.

Examples

#- import file
tls=data.table::fread(system.file("extdata", "Tree_t0.asc", package="VoxR"))

#- resolution = 0.02m
voxels_002 = VoxR::vox(tls,res=0.02) # voxelisation
VoxR::plot_voxels(voxels_002) # voxels plot

#- resolution = 0.2m
voxels_02 = VoxR::vox(tls,res=0.2) # voxelisation
VoxR::plot_voxels(voxels_02) # voxels plot
