read_las_header: Read the header information in a LAS file

In mbedward/CERMBlidar: A collection of functions to process aerial LIDAR data

Read the header information in a LAS file

Description

This function calls read.lasheader to read header data information from a given LAS file, then returns the data as a nested, named list. The only difference to calling the rlas function directly is that any problems reading the header will result in a NULL return value rather than an error, and the element names in the returned list are all lower case with spaces removed to make name matching easier.

Usage

read_las_header(path, fix.names = TRUE)

Arguments

path	Path to a LAS file.
fix.names	If TRUE, change all element names in the nested list of header information to lower case with spaces removed.

Value

Header information as a nested list
