VoxR (version 1.0.0)

vox: Voxelisation of 3D point cloud recording the number of points within each voxels.

Description

Voxelisation of 3D point cloud recording the number of points within each voxels.

Usage

vox(data, res, full.grid, message)

Arguments

data

a data.frame or data.table containing the x, y, z, ... coordinates of a point cloud.

res

numeric. Resolution of a voxel.

full.grid

logical. If TRUE empty voxels contained in the tree bounding box are returned. If FALSE, only filled voxels are returned. Default = FALSE.

message

logical. If FALSE, messages are disabled. Default = TRUE.

Value

A data.frame or data.table containing the x, y, z coordinates of the voxel center and the number of points within each voxel of a voxel cloud.

# NOT RUN {

#- resolution = 0.02m

VoxR::plot_voxels(voxels_002) # voxels plot

#- resolution = 0.2m
