Proposed bug fixes and documentation changes #1

Closed serbinsh closed 6 years ago

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

@akamoske I made this change....let me know what you think? This solved the issue of not finding the files but not sure this is what you intended. I ran into another error when running the function. trying to sort out where.

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

@akamoske never mind, perhaps it is working now? not sure why i originally had another error? OK yes it created the output!

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

So before we merge this (if we do) lets make sure we clean up the commenting. Just there temporarily until you think what I changed makes sense

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

Hmm...for whatever reason when I run the function sometimes I get this

> # Convert .laz or .las files into a list of voxelized lidar arrays
> laz.data <- laz.to.array(laz.files.path = "Downloads",
+                          voxel.resolution =  10, z.resolution =  1)
Error in laz.xyz[, 1] : incorrect number of dimensions
> 

but I can go line by line just fine?

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

Ugh! But if I open the function .R file and "source" it then run that function again it works fine?!?!??!! But I am R CMD build / R CMD INSTALL each time so it should be getting the newer function file. I have not idea why it wont work when called unless I source it first.

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

Ooops likes like another NAMESPACE issue:

lad.estimates <- MacHorn.LAD(level.canopy, 1, NULL) Error in MacHorn.LAD(level.canopy, 1, NULL) : could not find function "MacHorn.LAD"

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

@akamoske other errors I am seeing

> lad.estimates <- MacHorn.LAD(level.canopy, 1, NULL)
Error in MacHorn.LAD(level.canopy, 1, NULL) : 
  could not find function "MacHorn.LAD"
> # Estimate LAD for each voxel in leveled array in the list 
> lad.estimates <- machorn.lad(level.canopy, 1, NULL)
> # Convert the list of LAD arrays into a single raster stack
> lad.raster <- lad.array.to.raster.stack(lad.estimates, 32618)
[1] "Raster number 1 is complete!"
Error in as.data.frame.default(x) : 
  cannot coerce class ‘structure("RasterStack", package = "raster")’ to a data.frame

I fixed the first by changing to machorn.lad()

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Shawn, I get the same problem with

Convert .laz or .las files into a list of voxelized lidar arrays

laz.data <- laz.to.array(laz.files.path = "Downloads",

  • voxel.resolution = 10, z.resolution = 1) Error in laz.xyz[, 1] : incorrect number of dimensions

when I run this! This is what is driving me insane. If I run it line by line it works fine, but as a function is gets weird...

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Good eye on the Machorn.LAD though, going to change that right now. I'm at a lose on the incorrect numbers of dimensions though.

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

@akamoske for some reason when called in the function laz.xyz comes up with:

[1] "Processing: Downloads/NEON_D01_HARV_DP1_731000_4712000_classified_point_cloud.laz"
Error in laz.xyz[, 1] : incorrect number of dimensions

Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit   

1: laz.to.array(laz.files.path = "Downloads", voxel.resolution = 10, z.resolution = 1)

Selection: 1
Called from: top level 
Browse[1]> ls()
 [1] "i"                "laz.data"         "laz.file"         "laz.files.list"   "laz.files.path"   "laz.list"         "laz.xyz"         
 [8] "laz.xyz.table"    "voxel.resolution" "z.resolution"    
Browse[1]> i
[1] 1
Browse[1]> laz.xyz
numeric(0)

trying to debug to see why that is...but this is a pretty difficult error and very hard to track down

Interesting, if I look at xyz.table I see this

rowse[1]> head(laz.xyz.table)
  c(laz.data[, "X"], laz.data[, "Y"], laz.data[, "Z"], laz.data[, "Classification"])
1                                                                           731999.9
2                                                                           731999.9
3                                                                           731999.9
4                                                                           731999.8
5                                                                           731999.8
6                                                                           731999.8

which is clearly wrong but if run line by line it is correctly produced so looking into why

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

@akamoske I may have solved the incorrect dimensions error:

> # Convert .laz or .las files into a list of voxelized lidar arrays

Ok now looking at this issue

> lad.raster <- lad.array.to.raster.stack(lad.estimates, 32618)
[1] "Raster number 1 is complete!"
Error in as.data.frame.default(x) : 
  cannot coerce class ‘structure("RasterStack", package = "raster")’ to a data.frame
serbinsh commented 6 years ago

@akamoske I am trying to understand some of the logic in the code and it seems that:

lai.raster <- raster::calc(lad.raster, fun = sum, na.rm = TRUE)

doesnt make sense when using only 1 laz file? Do you normally run this code with a whole bunch of laz files in a dir? I had assumed that .laz files had all canopy layers but then not sure what all the "stacks" are that are being generated.

That calc function throws an error if you only have 1 input laz file. I figured this out by faking more than one list by doing

lad.rstack.list[[1]] <- lad.rasters
lad.rstack.list[[2]] <- lad.rasters

then

lad.ras <- base::do.call(raster::merge, lad.rstack.list) 
lad.raster <- lad.ras
lai.raster <- raster::calc(lad.raster, fun = sum, na.rm = TRUE)

which then works. So would you normally have a laz for each slice of the canopy? That is each layer?

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

@akamoske here is my final commit to this PR. Check it out to consider merging with master. Perhaps check out this branch and test yourself to be sure nothing is broken. With these changes the code now works on my end.

Could you share another .laz file so i can be sure it is stacking properly? I just made another copy of the file you send and renamed it so that the full set of example function calls would run.

Shawn you are a wizard!!!

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Just ran through it all and it works great! Its so weird that it was running fine through the source, but once it was loaded as a package it was throwing these errors...

I'm going to merge this with the master and do a bit of clean up.

Thanks so much!!!!!!!

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Hey Shawn, I just merged it all together. Also, in response to your question about the LAI raster creation from the LAD raster stack. It shouldn't matter if there is only one laz file or not. The raster stack is a stack of rasters from the LAD array, where each raster in the stack is a 1 meter slice of the canopy. So it takes the sum of the same pixel for each raster in the stack, thus adding together all the LAD values within a vertical column of voxels. Hopefully that kinda makes sense...

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Hey Shawn. I just added a filter to keep .laz or .las files that are less than 100kb from going through the processing chain. Basically NEON has a couple of empty files in there that cause the code to crash and this removes them. I tested in on Windows and can test it on my Ubuntu machine later today. I was wondering if you could just do a quick test on your Apple to make sure that it works ok?

akamoske commented 6 years ago

I just added this line of code below the list.files command:

list all the files in the path

laz.files.list <- list.files(laz.files.path, pattern=c("\.laz$|.las$"), full.names = TRUE)

get rid of any files that are less than 100kb

laz.files.list <- laz.files.list[sapply(laz.files.list, file.size) > 100000]

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Thanks!!!

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

@akamoske checking now by running your example in the README, is that sufficient for testing on mac osx?

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Should be! Just wanted to make sure there wasn't some type of weird error that would pop up.

akamoske commented 6 years ago

I'm running through the 2017 SERC data right now, there are 130 .laz files (each one is 1x1 km), so this will be a good test with a very large list of .laz files

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

Strange, I am getting this on my mac at work?

what version of rlas are you using?

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

@akamoske looking here (https://github.com/Jean-Romain/rlas/blob/master/NAMESPACE) I dont see readlasdata in the NAMESPACE of rlas. Perhaps this is a new change in rlas package?

akamoske commented 6 years ago

I'm using rlas_1.2.4

It looks like they just updated to 1.2.7 on 8/20/18 and condensed some of the functions down. There was a period where they had a couple different options.

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Hopefully this will be stable now, I'll update the code and push it real quick.

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

Yeah, looks diff now:

> rlas::read.las
rlas::read.las        rlas::read.lasheader
> rlas::read.las

They are supposed to provide back compatibility and use warnings that certain calls are deprecated before just removing functions or changing names. That is annoying and bad R coding

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Just pushed it I'll do a quick test over here

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Super annoying.

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Works fine on my end!

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

OK trying again

akamoske commented 6 years ago

Cool. Also, I just ran through the entire 2017 NEON LiDAR dataset for SERC (130 tiles = 130 km2). Took about 1.5 hours to run through all the code, while saving RData and .tif files along the way.

serbinsh commented 6 years ago

OK great, working for me too!

akamoske commented 6 years ago

cool!

akamoske commented 6 years ago
