Lidar contour — wbt_lidar_contour • whitebox

This tool creates a vector contour coverage from an input LiDAR point file.

Usage

wbt_lidar_contour(
  input,
  output = NULL,
  interval = 10,
  base = 0,
  smooth = 5,
  parameter = "elevation",
  returns = "all",
  exclude_cls = NULL,
  minz = NULL,
  maxz = NULL,
  max_triangle_edge_length = NULL,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

input: Name of the input LiDAR points.
output: Name of the output vector lines file.
interval: Contour interval.
base: Base contour.
smooth: Smoothing filter size (in num. points), e.g. 3, 5, 7, 9, 11.
parameter: Interpolation parameter; options are 'elevation' (default), 'intensity', 'user_data'.
returns: Point return types to include; options are 'all' (default), 'last', 'first'.
exclude_cls: Optional exclude classes from interpolation; Valid class values range from 0 to 18, based on LAS specifications. Example, --exclude_cls='3,4,5,6,7,18'.
minz: Optional minimum elevation for inclusion in interpolation.
maxz: Optional maximum elevation for inclusion in interpolation.
max_triangle_edge_length: Optional maximum triangle edge length; triangles larger than this size will not be gridded.
wd: Changes the working directory. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_wd() for details.
verbose_mode: Sets verbose mode. If verbose mode is FALSE, tools will not print output messages. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_verbose() for details.
compress_rasters: Sets the flag used by 'WhiteboxTools' to determine whether to use compression for output rasters. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_compress_rasters() for details.
command_only: Return command that would be executed by system() rather than running tool. Default: FALSE.

Value

Returns the tool text outputs.
