Title Thin Point Cloud by Keeping Specific Classes

thin_cloud.Rd

This function reads a LAS file, filters it to retain only specified classes of points (e.g., vegetation), and optionally saves the thinned point cloud to a new LAS file. The function specifically keeps points classified as 4 (medium vegetation) and 5 (high vegetation) by default.

Usage

thin_cloud(las_path, folder, save_las)

Arguments

las_path

The file path of the LAS file to be thinned.

folder

The directory path where the thinned LAS file should be saved, if saving is enabled.

save_las

A logical value indicating whether to save the thinned point cloud as a new LAS file. If TRUE, the thinned point cloud is saved; if FALSE, it is not saved.

Details

This function does not return a value but outputs a LAS file of the thinned point cloud if save_las is TRUE.

Examples


if (FALSE) thin_cloud("path/to/your/point_cloud.las", "path/to/output/folder", TRUE) # \dontrun{}
