Clip GEDI Elevation and Height Metrics by Coordinates
This function clips GEDI Level2A extracted Elevation and Height Metrics (Level2AM) within a given bounding coordinates
clipLevel2AM(level2AM, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax)
level2AM |
A GEDI Level2A object (output of |
xmin |
Numeric. West longitude (x) coordinate of bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees. |
xmax |
Numeric. East longitude (x) coordinate of bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees. |
ymin |
Numeric. South latitude (y) coordinate of bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees. |
ymax |
Numeric. North latitude (y) coordinate of bounding rectangle, in decimal degrees. |
Returns an S4 object of class data.table-class
containing the clipped elevation and relative heights metrics.
