This tool normalizes an input LiDAR point cloud (input) such that point z-values in the output LAS file (output) are converted from elevations to heights above the ground, specifically the height above the nearest ground-classified point. The input LAS file must have ground-classified points, otherwise the tool will return an error. The lidar_tophat_transform tool can be used to perform the normalization if a ground classification is lacking.
