In tiagodc/TreeLS: Terrestrial Point Cloud Processing of Forest Data

v2.0.0

ply files are now supported in readTLS.
naming convention changed for all methods used inside other functions - all start with a 3 letter prefix (ptm, map, ptm, trp...).
some methods were renamed: tlsTransform, treeMap.positions.
new methods added por tree mapping, stem points and stem segmentation, contemplating several new possible use cases and forest scenarios (complex forests, high accuracy LiDAR sensors, irregular stem shapes and so on).
treeMap.merge function introduced and applied internally in treeMap, allowing detection and merging of duplicates, mapping errors, and forked stems into the same tree.
extra step added to the inventory workflow and new method added: treePoints. This way whole trees are assigned TreeIDs in a plot, not just their stem points.
new method added for quick forest inventory metrics: tlsInventory.
new functionalities introduced: fastPointMetrics, shapeFit, nnFilter, writeTLS, shapeFit.forks
all RANSAC methods have been tuned internally for extra robustness and stability when estimating diameters of noisy point clouds.
tlsPlot completely refactored to dynamically interpret any unnamed inputs and plot them accordingly.
add_* plot functions added, making plotting of 3D products much more flexible and compatible with lidR plots.
actual 3D cylinder plotting added for all stem segmentation methods.
dependency issues fixed and updated.
lidR internal calls updated with new naming convention introduced in v3.0.0.
bug fixes and performance enhancements.
