make_matrix produces a matrix of, x, z values in coordinate space with the number and type of each LiDAR return in each x, z bin combination

make_matrix(df)

Arguments

• df: data frame of PCL data that has been processed with split_transect_from_pcl

Returns

sorted matrix of LiDAR returns for each x, z position

Details

The make_matrix function munges data in to a data frame of x, z bins with the number of canopy hits located in each bin.
