aboveR: 'LiDAR' Terrain Analysis and Change Detection from Above
Terrain change detection, cut and fill volume estimation,
terrain profiling, reclamation monitoring, erosion analysis, and flood
risk assessment 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>.
