Overview

About

Maintained by Venkata Siva Reddy NagaFirst published 2026-03-021 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Provides tools for preprocessing, feature extraction, and segmentation of three-dimensional forest point clouds derived from terrestrial laser scanning. Functions support creating height-above-ground (HAG) metrics, tiling, and sampling point clouds, generating training datasets, applying trained models to new point clouds, and producing per-point fuel classes such as stems, branches, foliage, and surface fuels. These tools support workflows for forest structure analysis, wildfire behavior modeling, and fuel complexity assessment. Deep learning segmentation relies on the PointNeXt architecture described by Qian et al. (2022) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2206.04670, while ground classification utilizes the Cloth Simulation Filter algorithm by Zhang et al. (2016) doi:10.3390/rs8060501.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("FuelDeep3D", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("venkatasivanaga/FuelDeep3D")

Development version from venkatasivanaga/FuelDeep3D. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-fueldeep3d

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-FuelDeep3D

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-FuelDeep3D

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
