canopy Footprint (Absolute)

What does this tool do?

Canopy Footprint (Absolute) generates footprint polygons for each input line using an absolute threshold method. This is useful for mapping the area around lines (like roads or rivers) based on a canopy or cost raster, with user-defined thresholds.

How do I use it?

Quick Start

1. Prepare your input files: a centerline vector file (GeoPackage or Shapefile) and a CHM raster file.
2. Run the tool from GUI:

What options can I set?

• Centerline: Path to your centerline line file
• CHM Raster: Path to your CHM raster file
• Output Footprint: Path for the output footprint file

Tips

• Works best with line data and a canopy or cost raster.
• Adjust corridor_thresh and max_ln_width for your data and mapping needs.
