machorn.ladR Documentation

Convert a lidar array into an array of LAD estimates

Description

This function reads in the lidar array created with the laz.to.array function and uses the MacArthur and Horn method to estimate LAD within each voxel. The sum of each column is equal to the LAI of that column of voxels.

Usage

machorn.lad(leveld.lidar.array, voxel.height,
  beer.lambert.constant = NULL)

Arguments

leveld.lidar.array

Leveled lidar array, which is the output of the canopy.height.levelr function

voxel.height

The Z parameter that was entered into the laz.to.array function

beer.lambert.costant

If you do not have a Beer Lambert Constant then set this NULL. If you have one, then enter it here.

Value

A list of voxelized array which contain LAD estimates within each voxel
