single LAS file. The user must specify the parameter of the tile grid, including its origin (origin_x and origin_y) and the tile width and height (width and height). Tiles containing fewer points than specified in the min_points parameter will not be output. This can be useful when tiling terrestrial LiDAR datasets because the low point density at the edges of the point cloud (i.e. most distant from the scan station) can result in poorly populated tiles containing relatively few points.
