LiDAR moduleΒΆ
This module implements all LiDAR processing tasks for STANDFIRE. This includes creating a fishnet with 64x64m cells to divide the lidar points into one acre plots, calculating FVS input variables, running FVS for each plot and collating the results.
Inputs:
1. Lidar shapefile. Projected in WGS 1984 UTM (any zone). This shapefile needs to have the following attributes:
| Field Name | Type | Units | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| X_UTM | Float | Meters | X coordinate |
| Y_UTM | Float | Meters | Y coordinate |
| Height_m | Float | Meters | Tree height |
| CBH_m | Float | Meters | Crown Base Height |
| DBH_cm | Float | Centimeters | Diameter at Breast Height |
| Species | String | Text | Two letter FVS species code |
- FVS keyword file.
Outputs:
- Fishnet shapefile containing the plots (<example>_fishnet.shp)
- Lidar shapefile containing the input and calculated attributes (<example>_out.shp)
- Text file containing the calculated attributes (<example>_export.csv)
- FVS (<example>.tre and <example>.key) files for each plot
- Tree list for CAPSIS (<example>_trees.csv)
