dtm_tin: Spatial Interpolation Algorithm

In lidR: Airborne LiDAR Data Manipulation and Visualization for Forestry Applications

Spatial Interpolation Algorithm

Description

This function is made to be used in rasterize_terrain or normalize_height. It implements an algorithm for spatial interpolation. Spatial interpolation is based on a Delaunay triangulation, which performs a linear interpolation within each triangle. There are usually a few points outside the convex hull, determined by the ground points at the very edge of the dataset, that cannot be interpolated with a triangulation. Extrapolation can be performed with another algorithm.

Usage

tin(..., extrapolate = knnidw(3, 1, 50))

Arguments

...	unused
extrapolate	There are usually a few points outside the convex hull, determined by the ground points at the very edge of the dataset, that cannot be interpolated with a triangulation. Extrapolation is done using knnidw by default.

Examples

LASfile <- system.file("extdata", "Topography.laz", package="lidR")
las = readLAS(LASfile, filter = "-inside 273450 5274350 273550 5274450")

#plot(las)

dtm = rasterize_terrain(las, algorithm = tin())

#plot(dtm)
#plot_dtm3d(dtm)
