wbt_lidar_point_stats {whitebox}

Lidar point stats

Description

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.
