This is a library for extracting structural properties about tree leaves represented by point clouds.
The lidar_leaf_properties library is being developed as part of my PhD research, supervised by Dr. Mat Disney, in the Department of Geography at University College London (UCL). My research is funded through Science Without Borders from the National Council of Technological and Scientific Development (10.13039/501100003593) – Brazil (Process number 233849/2014-9).

To-Do: - Add documentation - Add tests
To install the package, run the following command in the terminal:
python setup.py install
To use the package, run the following command in the terminal:
import leafproperties # Load the point cloud pc = np.loadtxt('path/to/pointcloud.txt')[:, :3] # Load the point cloud and keep only the x, y, and z columns leaf_angles = leafproperties.leaf_angle.angle_from_points(pc, knn=10)
