Description: Tools for the processing, segmentation, and analysis of terrestrial laser 
    scanning (TLS and MLS) forest point-cloud data. The package provides fast 
    voxel-based processing, classification of point clouds into forest 
    floor, understory, canopy, and woody components, and algorithms for 
    single-tree analysis and structural characterization. Methods are designed 
    to handle large and dense point-cloud datasets efficiently, supporting 
    applications in forest structure assessment, connectivity analysis, and 
    fire-risk evaluation. Input data are provided as '.xyz', '.txt', '.las', or '.laz' point-cloud files.
