raster.from.point.cloud: Convert a point cloud to a raster
In niknap/LidarProcessoR: Collection of R functions for Lidar data processing

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples

Function that creates a raster from a point cloud by applying a certain function in each cell, e.g. func=max returns a surface raster (CHM in case of vegetation), min returns lowest point per cell, mean returns the mean value of all points in the cell, count returns a point density raster, sum returns the sum of all point values and mode returns the most common value (in case of several equally common values one of them is taken randomly).

1 2	raster.from.point.cloud(pc, xcor = "X", ycor = "Y", var = "Z", res = 1, func = "max")

`pc`	Point cloud in XYZ-table format
`xcor`	Variable name that contains the X-coordinates (Default "X")
`ycor`	Variable name that contains the Y-coordinates (Default "Y")
`var`	Variable name that contains the values that should be rasterized (Default "Z")
`res`	Resolution (cell side length) of the output raster
`func`	Function to be applied (either "max", "min", "mean", "count", "sum" or "mode")
