abstract: A set of tools to process and calculate metrics on point clouds derived
  from terrestrial LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging; TLS). Its creation is based
  on key aspects of the TLS application in forestry and ecology. Currently, the main
  routines are based on filtering, neighboring features of points, voxelization, canopy
  structure, and the creation of artificial stands. It is written using data.table
  and C++ language and in most of the functions it is possible to use parallel processing
  to speed-up the routines.
