clipLevel2BPAIProfileGeometry

Clip GEDI Plant Area Index profile by geometry

Description

This function clips GEDI level2B derived Plant Area Index profile within a given geometry

Usage

clipLevel2BPAIProfileGeometry(level2BPAIProfile, polygon_spdf, split_by)

Arguments

level2BPAIProfile

A GEDI Level2B object (output of getLevel2BPAIProfile function). An S4 object of class "data.table".
polygon_spdf

Polygon. An object of class SpatialPolygonsDataFrame-class, which can be loaded as an ESRI shapefile using raster::shapefile() function in the raster package.
split_by

Polygon id. If defined, GEDI data will be clipped by each polygon using the attribute specified by split_by from the attribute table.

Value

Returns an S4 object of class data.table-class containing the Plant Area Index profile data.
