Airborne LiDAR Filtering Method Based on Multiscale Curvature

Multiscale Curvature Classification of ground returns in 3-D LiDAR point clouds, designed for forested environments. 'RMCC' is a porting to R of the 'MCC-lidar' method by Evans and Hudak (2007) .

R package that wraps the MCC algorithm for Airborne LiDAR ground filtering based on Multiscale Curvature Classification. It is made to work along with the lidR package.

Example

library(lidR)

file <- system.file("extdata", "Topography.laz", package="lidR")
las  <- readLAS(file, select = "xyz")
las  <- classify_ground(las, mcc())

plot(las, color = "Classification")
