Description

lidarforfuel aims to compute fuel metrics from airborne LiDAR data and map them at a large scale. As such, it may be usefull in fire risk assessment.
Currently, two R functions have been developed:
1) fPCpretreatment: pretreatment of a point cloud and 2
) fCBDprofile_fuelmetrics: computing fuel metrics.
These functions can be used either at the plot scale for specific analyses on small areas or at a large scale using a catalog of LiDAR tiles from the lidR package.
