Resolve LAS/LAZ/COPC input paths

Source: R/resolve_las_paths.R
resolve_las_paths.Rd

Resolves a character vector of file system paths or VPC objects into a flat character vector of LAS/LAZ/COPC file paths. Inputs may be individual files, directories, .vpc files, or VPC objects already loaded in R. Unsupported paths and formats are silently ignored.

Usage

resolve_las_paths(paths)

Arguments

paths

Character vector of file or directory paths, or a list that may contain VPC objects (lists with type = "FeatureCollection").

Value

A character vector of resolved LAS/LAZ/COPC file paths. Returns an empty character vector (invisibly) if no valid files are found.

Details

This function is intended for internal use. It performs no validation beyond basic existence checks and never errors or warns.

Supported inputs:

  • Individual .las, .laz, or .copc files

  • Directories (non-recursive search)

  • .vpc files (assets are extracted from the VPC JSON)

  • VPC objects already loaded in R (lists with type = "FeatureCollection")

Unsupported file formats, non-existent paths, empty directories, and unreadable .vpc files are silently skipped.
