get_point_densityR Documentation

Calculate average point density for a tile

Description

This function counts the points in the tile and divides by the total area (based on the applicable distance units, e.g. square metres). For a tile with average point density p, an estimate of the average distance between neighbouring points, disregarding edge effects, is 0.5 / sqrt(p).

Usage

get_point_density(las)

Arguments

las

A LAS object, e.g. imported using prepare_tile.

Value

The average point density as a single value.
