Lidar point stats

Description

Creates several rasters summarizing the distribution of LAS point data. When the input/output parameters are not specified, the tool works on all LAS files contained within the working directory.

Usage

wbt_lidar_point_stats(
  input,
  resolution = 1,
  num_points = TRUE,
  num_pulses = FALSE,
  avg_points_per_pulse = TRUE,
  z_range = FALSE,
  intensity_range = FALSE,
  predom_class = FALSE,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

`input`	Input LiDAR file.
`resolution`	Output raster's grid resolution.
`num_points`	Flag indicating whether or not to output the number of points (returns) raster.
`num_pulses`	Flag indicating whether or not to output the number of pulses raster.
`avg_points_per_pulse`	Flag indicating whether or not to output the average number of points (returns) per pulse raster.
`z_range`	Flag indicating whether or not to output the elevation range raster.
`intensity_range`	Flag indicating whether or not to output the intensity range raster.
`predom_class`	Flag indicating whether or not to output the predominant classification raster.
`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`.
