Lidar point stats — wbt_lidar_point

Creates several rasters summarizing the distribution of LAS point data. When the input/output parameters are not specified, the tool works on all LAS files contained within the working directory.

Usage

wbt_lidar_point_stats(
  input,
  resolution = 1,
  num_points = TRUE,
  num_pulses = FALSE,
  avg_points_per_pulse = TRUE,
  z_range = FALSE,
  intensity_range = FALSE,
  predom_class = FALSE,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

input: Input LiDAR file.
resolution: Output raster's grid resolution.
num_points: Flag indicating whether or not to output the number of points (returns) raster.
num_pulses: Flag indicating whether or not to output the number of pulses raster.
avg_points_per_pulse: Flag indicating whether or not to output the average number of points (returns) per pulse raster.
z_range: Flag indicating whether or not to output the elevation range raster.
intensity_range: Flag indicating whether or not to output the intensity range raster.
predom_class: Flag indicating whether or not to output the predominant classification raster.
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.
