wbt_lidar_digital_surface_model {whitebox}

Lidar digital surface model

Description

Creates a top-surface digital surface model (DSM) from a LiDAR point cloud.

Usage

wbt_lidar_digital_surface_model(
  input,
  output = NULL,
  resolution = 1,
  radius = 0.5,
  minz = NULL,
  maxz = NULL,
  max_triangle_edge_length = NULL,
  wd = NULL,
  verbose_mode = NULL,
  compress_rasters = NULL,
  command_only = FALSE
)

Arguments

input

Input LiDAR file (including extension).

output

Output raster file (including extension).

resolution

Output raster's grid resolution.

radius

Search Radius.

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.
