R lidR Tutorials

(1a) Launch an RStudio Geospatial Container in VICE -- https://github.com/cyverse-vice/rstudio-geospatial

(1b) Use the quick launch button to launch a 'latest' version container https://de.cyverse.org/de/?type=quick-launch&quick-launch-id=12f25023-b6b1-4f23-bbcc-49f0295da8c4&app-id=07e2b2e6-becd-11e9-b524-008cfa5ae621

(2) Once the container is running, follow the instructions from the GitHub wiki for lidR: https://github.com/Jean-Romain/lidR

(3) Use the sample data sets from /lidR to do Segmentaiton of individual trees and compute metrics.

(4) When you're done, upload your .Rmd code (R Markdown is a Notebook, similar to Jupyter). and comment back on this issue.

Current issues: Errors in functions, gdal packages, and size v returns.
I'll come back to it tomorrow.

All right, the errors have definately been trimmed down. I believe that I'll have to look through the documentation for my functions before I can continue, as the main issues now stem from that. I doubt I'll find a solution today, however I do believe that I've understood the underlying concept. The other issues stems from deprecation. Apparently, the version of R i'm using still supports the deprecated functions from the lidR package(normalize_ground v lasground etc.) I think some of the issues have to deal with that issue, and if I don't find a solution/documentation, I'll find a way to update the lidR package instead, and try that.
