R package to read and write .las
and .laz
binary files used to store LiDAR data.
This package is used by the lidR
package and
is not intended to be used by regular users. Everything you need is in
the lidR
package with a high-level front end. Only package
developers who would like to build something new from a low-level API
might be interested in rlas
.
rlas
relies on a modified version of LASlib
and LASzip
that were modified to be compatible with
R
. The library can therefore be compiled into
R
without any complaints from R CMD check
. It
enables R users to read and write binary files commonly used to store
LiDAR data. LAS/LAZ version 1.0 to 1.4 are supported.
library(rlas)
<- read.las("<myfile.las>")
lasdata <- read.lasheader("<myfile.las>") lasheader
rlas
contains code written by both Jean-Romain Roussel
and Martin Isenburg. The latter is included for technical reasons.
Details below.

and LASzip

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
