  num_samples = 10,
  threshold = 0.15,
  model_size = 15,
  max_slope = 80,
  norm_diff = 10,
  maxzdiff = 1,
  classes = FALSE,
  ground = FALSE,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

input

Input LiDAR file.

output

Output LiDAR file.

radius

Search Radius.

num_iter

Number of iterations.

num_samples

Number of sample points on which to build the model.

threshold

Threshold used to determine inlier points.

model_size

Acceptable model size.

max_slope

Maximum planar slope.

norm_diff

Maximum difference in normal vectors, in degrees.

maxzdiff

Maximum difference in elevation (z units) between neighbouring points of the same segment.

classes

Segments don't cross class boundaries.

ground

Classify the largest segment as ground points?.

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.
