dsmSearch

In dsmSearch: DSM and LiDAR downloader

1. Get DSM raster data

data <- dsmSearch::get_dsm_30(bbox = c(-83.783557,42.241833,-83.696525,42.310420), key = "Your KEY")

2. Get LiDAR data

2.1 Get LiDAR data information via API

# search for lidar data information using bbox
search_result <- dsmSearch::lidar_search(bbox = c(-83.742282,
                                                  42.273389,
                                                  -83.733442,
                                                  42.278724), 
                                         preview = FALSE)
search_result

2.2 Download LiDAR data with a given point and searching distance

# try coordinates -83.741289,42.270146 (in south Michigan, USA)
# radius is 1000ft
las <- dsmSearch::get_lidar(x = -83.741289,
                            y = 42.270146,
                            r = 1000,
                            epsg = 2253)
# download with bbox
las <- dsmSearch::get_lidar(bbox = c(-83.742282,42.273389,-83.733442,42.278724),
                            epsg = 2253)

# Create DTM
dtm_ <- lidR::rasterize_terrain(las, res = 5, lidR::tin())
terra::plot(dtm_)

# Create DSM
dsm_ <- lidR::rasterize_canopy(las, res = 5, lidR::dsmtin())
raster::plot(dsm_)
