A simple function to download some example MLS/TLS data in a ponderosa pine forest north of Flagstaff AZ

Description

Note: none of these datasets have been downsampled, classified for ground points, or normalized, all of which must be done before using them with 'Raster_Eigen_TreeLocations' or 'Segment_Graph' functions in the 'spanner' package.

Usage

getExampleData(
  lazName = c("PineExampleA", "DensePatchA", "DensePatchB", "SparsePatchA",
    "SparsePatchB", "ZebcamExample")
)

Arguments

character

The basename of the example dataset to be downloaded. Possibilities include: "PineExampleA" - A 1ha exmaple dataset pre-downsampled using a 0.01 cm voxel grid "DensePatchA" - A small, dense ponderosa pine patch with many, small trees "DensePatchB" - A small, dense ponderosa pine patch with few, medium-sized trees "SparsePatchA" - A small, open ponderosa pine patch with few, medium-sized trees "SparsePatchB" - A small, open ponderosa pine patch with few, largely spaced trees "ZebcamExample" - A big, RGB colored dataset

Value

Nothing Downloads and saves a specified .laz file to the "extdata" folder of the 'spanner' package

Examples

## Not run: 
# Specify one of six possible datasets to download
getExampleData("SparsePatchA")

## End(Not run)
