EX Deriving LiDAR products | Upscaling Biodiversity
Exercise: LiDAR products In this exercise we want to derive the most common LiDAR products DTM (Digital Terrain Model), DSM (Digital Surface Model) and CHM (Canopy Height Model). source: https://www.earthdatascience.org/images/courses/earth-analytics/lidar-raster-data-r Rasterizing the point cloud Since the point clouds are 3D , to get a DTM , DSM and CHM we need some sort of grid to rasterize this point cloud. Of course lidR provides the functions for these tasks. Have a look at rasterize_terrain(), rasterize_canopy() or the more flexible pixel_metrics(). Note- The function grid_metrics() has been now updated to three new functions cloud_metrics(), pixel_metrics(), and crown_metrics() and the
