R Documentation

Lidar point density

Description

Calculates the spatial pattern of point density for a LiDAR data set. When the input/output parameters are not specified, the tool grids all LAS files contained within the working directory.

Usage

wbt_lidar_point_density(
  input,
  output = NULL,
  returns = "all",
  resolution = 1,
  radius = 2.5,
  exclude_cls = NULL,
  minz = NULL,
  maxz = NULL,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

`input`	Input LiDAR file (including extension).
`output`	Output raster file (including extension).
`returns`	Point return types to include; options are 'all' (default), 'last', 'first'.
`resolution`	Output raster's grid resolution.
`radius`	Search radius.
`exclude_cls`	Optional exclude classes from interpolation; Valid class values range from 0 to 18, based on LAS specifications. Example, –exclude_cls='3,4,5,6,7,18'.
`minz`	Optional minimum elevation for inclusion in interpolation.
`maxz`	Optional maximum elevation for inclusion in interpolation.
`wd`	Changes the working directory. Default: `NULL` will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see `wbt_wd()` for details.
`verbose_mode`	Sets verbose mode. If verbose mode is `FALSE`, tools will not print output messages. Default: `NULL` will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see `wbt_verbose()` for details.
`compress_rasters`	Sets the flag used by 'WhiteboxTools' to determine whether to use compression for output rasters. Default: `NULL` will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see `wbt_compress_rasters()` for details.
`command_only`	Return command that would be executed by `system()` rather than running tool. Default: `FALSE`.
