Process CHM Files in Folder and Optionally Save Tree Tops to Shapefile
tops_in_folder_to_shp.RdThis function processes all Canopy Height Model (CHM) TIFF files in a specified folder, detects tree tops using
the detect_tops_in_CHM function, and optionally saves the results as a shapefile. Each tree top detection
is assigned an ID number and the results are combined into a spatial dataframe.

)Arguments
- folder_path
The directory path containing the CHM TIFF files.
- ws_par
The window size parameter for the local maxima filter (LMF) algorithm in the lidR package.
- hmin_par
The minimum height parameter for the LMF algorithm.
- crs_def
The coordinate reference system (CRS) definition to be applied to the output spatial dataframe.
- output_folder
The directory path where the output shapefile should be saved if saving is enabled.
- save_tops
A logical value indicating whether to save the detected tree tops data frame during processing.
- save_SHP
A logical value indicating whether to save the final spatial dataframe as a shapefile.
