plot_hit_grid function

Plots LiDAR hit grids of VAI

plot_hit_grid produces a LiDAR hit grid plot

plot_hit_grid(m, filename, transect.length, max.ht, max.vai)

Arguments

• m: matrix of light adjusted vai values.
• filename: the name of the file currently being processed.
• transect.length: the length of the transect used to create the x-axis
• max.ht: the maximum measured height used to create the y-axis
• max.vai: the maximum density of VAI, defaul = 8

Returns

a hit gride of VAI

Examples

# Calculates metrics of canopy structural complexity.
plot_hit_grid(pcl_vai, filename = "UVA LiDAR data", transect.length = 40,
 max.ht = 30, max.vai = 8)
