QUESTION
I have large point clouds (each with several million points) and want to compute geometric attributes for all points. In order to do so, I need to calculate eigenvalues. How can I do this as quickly as possible? My data is stored in *.las files and I read them in with the package lidR. I also use this package to calculate point metrics. According to this post, I implemented this version:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-02 at 11:41The problem of point_metrics()
is that it calls user's R code millions of times and this have a cost. Moreover it cannot be safely multithreaded. The function is good for prototyping but for production you must write your own code. For example you can reproduce the function segment_shape()
with point_metrics()
but segment_shape()
is pure C++ and multi-threaded and is often an order of magnitude faster.
Let try with ~3 millions points. The two examples are not equivalent (different output) but the computation load is almost the same (eigen value decomposition).
