Usage

wbt_lidar_thin(
  input,
  output,
  resolution = 2,
  method = "lowest",
  save_filtered = FALSE,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

input: Input LiDAR file.
output: Output LiDAR file.
resolution: The size of the square area used to evaluate nearby points in the LiDAR data.
method: Point selection method; options are 'first', 'last', 'lowest' (default), 'highest', 'nearest'.
save_filtered: Save filtered points to separate file?.
wd: Changes the working directory. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_wd() 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.
