We define the region of interest (ROI) to crop ALS data to corresponding extent before further processing. ROI is set on the extent of tree inventory, plus a 10 meter buffer.
ALS data is loaded with functions of package `lidR`. First a catalog of files containing ALS data is built. Then points located inside our ROI are loaded.
In this tutorial, ALS data available in the `lidaRtRee`` package is used.
```{r loadALS, include = FALSE}
```{r loadALS, include = TRUE, message = FALSE}
# load data in package lidaRtRee (default)
data(laschablais3, package="lidaRtRee")
laschablais3
```
```{r prepareALS, eval=FALSE}
Otherwise, ALS data is loaded with functions of package `lidR`. First a catalog of files containing ALS data is built. Then points located inside our ROI are loaded.
