xATLy: Extending ICESat-2 ATL03 and ATL08 Products for Land and Vegetation Analyses

Overview

The xATLy toolbox facilitates the reading, visualization, and processing of ICESat-2 ATL03 and ATL08 in HDF5 format with the end goal of generating customized along-track terrain and canopy height data sets.

Features

Overview of the toolbox features include:

  • Read and write raw ATL03 point cloud
  • Derive classified ATL03 point cloud
  • Derive aboveground level (normalized) point clouds
  • Read ATL08 segment-level, canopy and terrain attributes
  • Plot ATL03 point clouds
  • Calculate custom canopy and terrain heights
  • Generate and write auxillary geospatial layers as shapefile or KML
    • Reference ground tracks
    • 100-m ATL08 segment-level polygons
    • Custom segment-level polygons

Examples

Explore the following examples on how to use the toolbox features.

System Requirements and toolbox installation

  • The toolbox requires MATLAB (Release 2021+), the Curve fitting toolbox, Mapping toolbox and the Statistics toolbox
  • To install the toolbox, download the package file and follow MATLAB'S documentation on installing packages.
