Generate lidar parameters

generate_lidar generate the lidar parameters used in TROLL lidar simulation. All parameters have a default value from literature.

generate_lidar(
  mean_beam_pc = 10,
  sd_beam_pc = 5,
  klaser_pc = 0.63,
  transmittance_laser = 0.4,
  iter_pointcloud_generation = NULL
)

Arguments

mean_beam_pc

num. Mean pulse density (pulses per m2).

sd_beam_pc

num. Standard deviation of pulse density (per m2).

klaser_pc

num. laser attenuation factor.

transmittance_laser

num. Percentage of pulses that continue through the canopy after a hit.

iter_pointcloud_generation

num. Number of iteration for point cloud generation.

Value

A [data.frame)] of lidar simulation parameters.

[data.frame)]: R:data.frame)
