AMAPVox

LiDAR data voxelisation package

https://amapvox.org

Description

AMAPvox tracks every laser pulse through 3D grid (voxelized space) and computes the local transmittance or local attenuation per voxel.

R package provides visualization, utility and validation tools for the voxelized space.

Handled point cloud formats:

  • LAS/LAZ
  • RXP/RSP (Riegl)
  • PTX/PTG (Leica)
  • XYB (Faro)
