A <a rd-options="lidR:LAScatalog-class" href="/link/LAScatalog?package=lidR&version=2.2.5&to=lidR%3ALAScatalog-class" data-mini-rdoc="lidR:LAScatalog-class::LAScatalog">LAScatalog</a> object

Extent, Raster*, SpatialPolygons*, SpatialLines* or SpatialPoints* object

Subset a LAScatalog with a Spatial* object to keep only the tiles of interest. Internally, it uses the
function <a rd-options="raster:intersect" href="/link/intersect?package=lidR&version=2.2.5&to=raster%3Aintersect" data-mini-rdoc="raster:intersect::intersect">intersect</a> from <code>raster</code> with a tweak to make it work
with a LAScatalog. It can be used to select tiles of interest that encompass Spatial* objects such
as SpatialPoints, SpatialPolygons or SpatialLines.

Airborne LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) interface for data
manipulation and visualization. Read/write 'las' and 'laz' files, computation
of metrics in area based approach, point filtering, artificial point reduction,
classification from geographic data, normalization, individual tree segmentation
and other manipulations.
