lidR

lidR-package

lidR provides a set of tools to manipulate airborne LiDAR data in forestry contexts. The package
works essentially with .las or .laz files. The toolbox includes algorithms for DSM, CHM, DTM, ABA,
normalisation, tree detection, tree segmentation and other tools, as well as an engine to process
wide LiDAR coverages split into many files.

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.

lidR-package function

<dl class="dl-horizontal">
<dt><code>lidR.progress</code></dt><dd>Several functions have a progress bar for long operations (but not all).
Should lengthy operations show a progress bar? Default: TRUE</dd>
<dt><code>lidR.progress.delay</code></dt><dd>The progress bar appears only for long operations. After how many seconds
of computation does the progress bar appear? Default: 2</dd>
<dt><code>lidR.verbose</code></dt><dd>Make the package verbose. Default: FALSE</dd>
<dt><code>lidR.buildVRT</code></dt><dd>The functions <code>grid_*</code> can write the rasters sequentially on the
disk and load back a virtual raster mosaic (VRT) instead of the list of written files. Should
a VRT be built? Default: TRUE</dd>
