Splits LiDAR points up into a series of new files based on their properties.

Usage

wbt_split_lidar(
  input,
  criterion = "num_pts",
  interval = "",
  min_pts = 5,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

input: Name of the input LiDAR points.
criterion: Criterion on which to base the split of the input file. Options include 'num_pts, 'x', 'y', 'z', intensity, 'class', 'user_data', 'point_source_id', 'scan_angle', 'time'.
interval: Interval.
min_pts: Minimum number of points in an output file.
wd: Changes the working directory. Default: NULL will use the value in WhiteboxTools settings, see wbt_wd() for details.
