TreeMap_Auto: Automatic creation of a TreeMap

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

Detect the coordinates XY and the Diameter at breast height (DBH) of all trees on the plot. The point cloud had to be prepared and sliced with the function 'DataInit' and a value of threshold had to be found (use testAlphaThreshold())

Usage

3
TreeMap_Auto(Mydata, standName = NULL, alpha, minPts = 8, eps = 0.1,
  minDbh = 0, savePlot = T, TreeValue = NULL,
  savePath = "./TLSAnalysis/")

Arguments

Mydata

must be the data generated by the function DataInit to work

standName

Optional. If the tested plot has a name, it will be added to the name of the graphics (name = TestStd by default).

alpha

Alpha is the threshold value needed to clean the point cloud data

minPts

Minimum distance between 2 points to belong to the same cluster

eps

Minimal spacing between 2 points to create 2 clusters

minDbh

Minimum DBH value saved (if the value is greater than 0, trees with a lower DBH will be removed from the TreeMap)

savePlot

Saves a map of the position and DBH of all trees (This map will be used during the manual step to possibly detect adjustment errors or missing trees)

TreeValue

Used to add particular trees to the map

savePath

indicates the folder where the map and the data will be saved

Value

Generate a .txt file containing the position and the DBH of all the trees as well as a map (Treedetection.jpg) positioning them on the plot
