aboveR: 'LiDAR' Terrain Analysis and Change Detection from Above
Terrain change detection, cut and fill volume estimation,
terrain profiling, flood inundation analysis, slope and aspect
computation, hillshade generation, contour extraction, reclamation
monitoring, erosion analysis, and engineering export (LandXML, STL)
from 'LiDAR' (Light Detection and Ranging) point clouds and digital
elevation models ('DEMs'). Applications include surface mine
reclamation monitoring, sediment pond capacity tracking, highwall
safety classification, and erosion channel detection. Built on 'lidR'
for point cloud I/O and 'terra' for raster operations. Includes
access utilities for 'KyFromAbove' cloud-native elevation data on
Amazon Web Services ('AWS') <https://kyfromabove.ky.gov/>. Methods
for terrain change detection and volume estimation follow Li and
others (2005) <doi:10.1016/j.geomorph.2004.10.007>.
