laser verticalmetrics

Converts vertical profile data to structural metric rasters.

Requires slicer raster data as inputs. Outputs the following metrics:

  • canopy base height
  • vertical layer count
  • flame gap
laser verticalmetrics [-h] -odir output_directory [--input-is-list] [--dstnodata value]
  [--change-threshold percent] [--overstory-threshold meters] [--max-base-height meters]
  [--cores CORES] input_files [input_file(s ...]

positional arguments:
  input_file(s)         Input file(s)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -odir output_directory, --output_directory output_directory
                        Output data directory. (default: None)
  --input-is-list       Use input file as a list of rasters to merge. (default: False)
  --dstnodata value     Output nodata value (default: 255)
  --change-threshold percent
                        Noise threshold for detecting new layers. Lower values increase the layers detected. (default: 3)
  --overstory-threshold meters
                        Height threshold for the distinction between understory and overstory. (default: 4)
  --max-base-height meters
                        Ignore pixels with base heights taller than this value. (default: 40)
  --cores CORES         number of processing threads (default: 4)
