LidarIndexR – Read the header for a local LAS/LAZ file

Description

Read the header information for a LAS/LAZ file including CRS information. Only the file header is read (including VLRs) so you don't have to worry about the size of the LAS/LAZ file. This function is implemented in C++ and is 2+ orders of magnitude faster than ReadLocalLASHeader().

Usage

ReadLASHeader(path)

Arguments

path	Path for a LAS/LAZ file.

Value

A data frame containing the CRS WKT information string and header info. If file has no CRS information, the crs column in the data frame will be an empty string.

Examples

## Not run: 
ReadLASHeader("C:/data")

## End(Not run)
