Takes a mix of LAS/LAZ/COPC files, .vpc files, and VPC objects already loaded in R,
merges them if needed, deduplicates tiles (based on storage location), and returns a
VPC object or file path.
Arguments
- paths
Character vector of input paths, or a list containing VPC objects. Can be a mix of file paths (strings) and VPC objects (lists with type="FeatureCollection").
- out_file
Optional. Path where the VPC should be saved. If NULL (default), returns the VPC as an R object. If provided, saves to file and returns the file path.
