lidaRtRee - Forest Analysis with Airborne Laser Scanning (LiDAR) Data

Provides functions for forest objects detection, structure metrics computation, model calibration and mapping with airborne laser scanning: co-registration of field plots (Monnet and Mermin (2014) <doi:10.3390/f5092307>); tree detection (method 1 in Eysn et al. (2015) <doi:10.3390/f6051721>) and segmentation; forest parameters estimation with the area-based approach: model calibration with ground reference, and maps export (Aussenac et al. (2023) <doi:10.12688/openreseurope.15373.2>); extraction of both physical (gaps, edges, trees) and statistical features useful for e.g. habitat suitability modeling (Glad et al. (2020) <doi:10.1002/rse2.117>) and forest maturity mapping (Fuhr et al. (2022) <doi:10.1002/rse2.274>).
